6559	Samuel graduated from Williams College, 1857, a naturalist, president of the Boston Society of Natural History, and editor of the journal called "Science." He took his Master of Science degree in 1892 at Harvard, where he was assistant to Louis Agassiz in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. His famous sketch "In the Laboratory with Agassiz" was published in "Every Saturday" in 1847 and reprinted many times. He may be most widely known for his essay on the importance of first-hand, careful observation in the natural sciences. The treatise on inductive reasoning, entitled "The Student, the Fish, and Agassiz", reflected his initial experience under the tutelage of Agassiz. In 1864, he became custodian of the boston Society of Natural History. In 1875, he became General Secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1877, he was elected to the National Academy of Science and in 1885 became editor of "Science." In 1889, he brought out "Butterflies of the Eastern United States" in three volumes. Samuel wrote works comprising more than 300 titles and besides his American Scientific affiliations, he was honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and of the Entomological Society of London. A student of Mark Hopkins at Williams College, Samuel was a prolific writer, publishing 791 papers between 1858-1902, on insect biogeography and paleobiogeography, insect behavior ontogeny and phylogeny, insect songs, trace fossils, evolution, insect biology and economic entomology. He also wrote on ethnology, general geology, and geography. His masterwork of fossil terrestrial arthropod research was the two-volume set Fossil Insects of North America: The Pre-tertiary Insects (1890) (a collection of his previous papers on Paleozoic and Mesozoic insects) and The Tertiary Insects of North America (1890). He also published comprehensive reviews of the then-known fossil cockroaches of the world (1879), Carboniferous cockroaches of the United States (1890, 1895), and fossil terrestrial arthropods of the world (1886, 1891). Scudder's Nomenclator Zoologicus (1882-1884) was a seminal and comprehensive list of all generic and family names (Zoology including insects).	Scudder, Samuel Hubbard (I3269)
6560	Samuel graduated with a Divinity Degree from Harvard in 1836. He gave up the pulpit in 1838 to become a farmer in Framingham, Massachusetts. According to his memorial, which he wrote in December 1882, he gave up preaching after his health broke down. He went into business in Boston, hoping to gain enough money to farm. He did manage to buy a small farm. He tried farming for about seven years, then sold out and returned with his family to Salem. He eventually was appointed by the Governor to be Clerk of the First District Court of Essex County in June 1874, where he remained.	Andrews, Reverend Samuel Page (I18559)
6561	Samuel had come to Clifton from another country town, Panaca, in southern Nevada. Samuel's mother had died when he was eight days old, and the premature baby was so small that a finger ring could be slipped over his hand and onto his arm. He had to be fed with an eye dropper. His mother's sister lived in Clifton, and at the age of 18, the boy moved north to live with her family. There he met dark-haired, dark-eyed Louisa Bingham. They were married in the Logan Temple. The home they established and to which their six children came was out on the string, about three miles north of the store. The store, incidentally, was the one commercial institution of the town. The string was the dirt road, dusty in summer, snow-clogged in winter, and miry muddy in the spring and fall. The nearest hospital was many miles away, and so was the nearest doctor. 'Aunt Susan' Henderson served as midwife. Money was dreadfully scarce in those days. The farm produced generously but grain and potatoes brought little. Samuel augmented the family income by contracting for custom grain cutting, drilling wells, and building irrigation canals. But the Lee children did not know they were poor. The home and the Church provided entertainment opportunities. The jewel of the house was the piano. A Scottish lady, who knew how to rap knuckles at the sound of a wrong note, taught Harold how to play. Water was heated on a wood-burning stove. The refrigerator was a little sod structure that spanned the creek that ran past the house. For a time water was carried, and then a cistern was built above the house to provide the first tap water to be found anywhere along the string. Lights, too, were a problem, and Bishop Lee, as the father had become, stirred a great local controversy when he promoted the bringing of electricity into the community.	Lee, Samuel Marion (I14197)
6562	Samuel married Hannah as his second wife.	Ketcham, Samuel B. (I57281)
6563	Samuel moved from Dearborn county to Daviess county with his parents in 1871. Both parents died shortly after the removal, the father in 1871 and the mother in 1875. At the age of seventeen, Samuel found himself entirely upon his own resources. He worked on a farm in the summer and went to the country schools in the winter until he secceeded in securing a license to teach. He continued at school work for ten years, teaching in country schools for four years; principal of the Odon school for one year, in the grammar school, Washington, one year and county superintendent of schools four years, 1883-1887. In the meantime, he attended school two summers at Danville, Indiana. In 1885, Samuel bought a third interest in the Washington Democrat; in 1887 this was increased to one-half interest, and in connection with Stephen Belding and B.F. Strasser, respectively, he published the Daily and Weekly Democrat until 1891, when he purchased the entire plant. In 1906 he sold a half interest in the plant to Henry Backes and the publication was issued under the firm name of Boyd & Backes. Samuel was a prominent member of the Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana, in which he served as president in 1895 and was secretary for several years. He was an Odd Fellow since 1882 and was an ardent member of the Episcopal church. He served as a trustee of the Southern Indiana hospital for the insane during Governor Matthew's administration, 1893-1897; also on the city school board of Washington.	Boyd, Samuel Brown (I1021)
6564	Samuel moved to Lacon, Illinois, in 1857 with his parents. He served with an Illinois Regiment during the Civil War. Moved from Illinois to Missouri in the 1870's then on to Washington in the 1890's.	Black, Samuel Clark (I33952)

6566	Samuel resided within the limits of Salem from about the time of his marriage until he was sixty years old, when he removed to Danvers. His house was on Essex street, Salem, near the site of the Franklin Building. There he had his carpenter shop many years and pursued his trade, acquiring what for his day was a large property. He was a member of the First Church of Salem.	Giles, Samuel (I31270)

He commanded it through it's inception in August 1861 until he was recalled to the United States Regular Army in October 1862, leading the regiment in the May 1862 Battle of Williamsburg and the August 1862 Battle of Second Bull Run. He is noted for his July 1863 actions at the Battle of Fairfield where his small cavalry regiment took on two crack Confederate Cavalry Regiments reinforced with light artillery. He was severely wounded in the melee and his right arm had to be amputated while he was a prisoner of war. "Old Paddy" was exchanged on parole in September (not November) of that year. During the post war period he served in Texas then retired as a full colonel on December 15, 1870.	Starr, Colonel Samuel Henry (I61179)

They were members of the Hopewell Friends Church in Frederick County, Virginia. Mary's children by her first marriage were made wards of Samuel in 1740. He treated Robert Worthington, Jr. harshly and bound him out to a severe master. As a result, the boy ran away to Philadelphia where he worked until he was 18, returning to the valley in 1748 to receive his patrimony. Samuel and Mary lived in Jefferson County, probably on property left by Robert Worthington, Sr. Samuel signed a number of deeds when Bobby Dunblaen Worthington sold his property over the years. No date has been found of Samuel's death. Mary died in 1794. Samuel served in the Revolutionary War, and Mary received seven pounds for her support and that of her two children for the year 1778 in Berkeley County, Virginia.

6591	Sara was one of eleven children of the China trader and sea captain Warren Delano, the name having been Anglicized not long after the arrival of a young Huguenot named Philippe de la Noye in Plymouth Colony in 1621. Her father had gone to sea to bring tea from China. From his profits, he bought a sixty-acre farm near Newburgh and built a house, called Algonac. Her mother was a Lyman, whose first American ancestor had landed in 1631. After the financial panic of 1857, Warren lost his fortune and had to return to the China trade. This time, he traded in opium. Because of the need for opium during the Civil War, his fortune and image improved. He was named agent for the State Department in China during the war, and transported Sara and the rest of the family to Hong Kong. She met her future husband, James, at a dinner party given by her friend's mother, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the mother of the future president.

6596	Sarah died in the "Henry Clay" riverboat fire on the Hudson River. Eighty people lost their lives, mostly women and children, either by drowning or fire. According to the 1850 census, she was blind. The "Henry Clay" was a 198 foot long sidewheeler, and a "day boat" which operated between New York City and Albany. Launched in 1851, she was a new boat on the river and in less than a year had developed a reputation for speed and, if post disaster acccounts are to be believed, as a racer. On her final day, she departed Albany in conjunction with her principal rival, the "Armenia," both bound for New York City.. Although the trip started calmly enough, it soon became evident that the close-to-eight-hour journey was becoming a race. At Kingston, New York, the "Henry Clay" veered around the "Armenia" to be the first ship to enter the dock, and the two vessels collided with minor damage ensuing. At least one party of socially prominent passsengers left the "Clay " at that point to complete the journey by rail, and the captain of the slightly damaged "Armenia" chose to abort the race. Passengers boarded at Kingston and Poughkeepsie, bringing the total onboard to a possible 500 as the "Henry Clay" began the final leg of her passage. High speed was maintained, and some were alarmed by the sparks and cinders which rained down from the funnel onto the shade awnings along the after decks, in some places they burned through. After the main meal of the day was served, and with about an hour left of the less-than-relaxing journey, the "Henry Clay" was found to be afire, amidship, just south of Yonkers and about a mile offshore. A few of the passengers managed to make it to the bow section, but most ran to the stern, at first under orders and, as the fire progressed, as their only option. The voyage from midstream to the shore took several minutes and the "Clay," with a draft of only 5 feet, struck the shallows at speed high enough to allow her to run, sled style, up the beach and into a railway embankment, her bow stopping just short of the tracks. Those few who ran forward were able to drop safely onto land. The hundreds who were driven to the stern found themselves in deep water, figuratively as well as literally, as they were still perhaps 140 feet from shore. As aboard the "General Slocum" few knew how to swim, but the arrival of the "Armenia," minutes into the disaster, kept the fatalities from hitting the 75% figure that the "Slocum's" did. Still, at least 80 were lost, including Stephen Allan, the ex-mayor of New York City, and Maria Hawthorne, the sister of Nathaniel.	Rogers, Sarah (I41852)
6597	Sarah died of lupus in England. Her doctor had told her not to bear children with her condition lbecause it could kill her. She was overjoyed to hear she had become pregnant. Her son was born first and she later became pregnant again, but this time with twins! Tracey and Ingrid brought joy to Sarah, but Sarah died when the girls were seven.	Slagle, Sarah Ann (I13857)
