• Notes

  “Samuel is remembered as looking very much like his father. His occupations included farming, clerking at auction sales and selling farm machinery, hardware and real estate. His first wife, Alice Taylor, suffered from poor health including epilepsy and died in 1913. He later married Hattie Miller who had two children by a previous marriage. His home in Deer Creek with its unique shaped stained glass windows and roof edgings still stands as a symbol of bygone architecture. A building in Deer Creek apparently once owned by Sam has S. L. Belsly in bold face lettering on its front.” [1]
