We was always much interested in our Sunday School and Church Activities; served on Official Board of our Church, as Deacon some years, and as Elder [for] many years.

    No matter what our vocation or work is, there is always a "stop sign" or a warning sign ahead of all of us. So after 44 years of working together our lot came to the last line mentioned, account of health problems was compelled to relinquish many of our activities in our every day life."

    Notes:

    Married:
    "Samuel and Mary obtained 60 acres of land from his family, part of the 140 acres his father had purchased from the government, and they move into the log house, where their eight children were born. Later their first daughter and her husband lived in this same house. Samuel and Mary built their new frame barn in the summer of 1894.

    Samuel owned a portable saw mill, sawing lumber for many barns and houses in his earlier years, moving the mille to many places in the vicinity of Richland Township. As his sons grew older they helped him in this business, and the boys grew up around machinery. Samuel was also among the first in the area to own a steam engine, a threshing machine and a corn husker, doing much of the hired work in the community and over a wide area. When the sons were older, they took over part of the business, and were known for their promptness as well as their skill.

    Samuel also set up a saw mill on the farm and did custom sawing during the year. He also had a cane press and an apple cider press. He boiled and processed cane molasses and pressed hard cider in due season. In later years, when his sons were old enough to do farm work, Samuel opened a farm implement store, selling the Osborne line of farm machinery. This was during the time that such machinery was just coming into wide use, and he sold a great deal of farm equipment and had a thriving business in the community. In the fall of 1902, Samuel turned the farm over to his daughter, Lydia, and her husband, Francis Steiner. Samuel and Mary moved to Bluffton so he could be closer to the business. When Francis died the next year, Samuel and Mary moved back to the farm and lived their until Samuel died on July 5, 1910; then Mary sold the farm."
