==============
Samuel was first married to Mary Lawrence (in 1859) and they had 4 children. Armilda was his second wife and he was still married to her when he died (1905). I seem to recall (and don't know why I don't have it in my data file) that they married just a couple years before he died, maybe 1902 or 1903.
Ironically, Samuel is buried in Greenwood in a plot owned by Armilda but Armilda is buried in Mt. Pleasant. Samuel's son, Joseph (d. 1952), is buried in Armilda's lot with Samuel.
