• Notes

  Samuel Davis Douglass was born March 20, 1821, at Chazy, Clinton County, NY, the son of Ezekiel and Allice (Baker) Douglass. On Sept. 5, 1851, Samuel married Caroline "Carrie" Hutchinson, the daughter of Sherberne Kingsbury and Lovinia (Badcock) Hutchinson of Beekmantown, Clinton County, NY. To this union, four children were born: Levina Mandana Douglass, born May, 1852, Chazy, NY Ellery Albert Douglass, born Sept. 21, 1854, Chazy, NY Charles H. Douglass, born February, 1858, Chazy, NY Harriet May Douglass, born Sept. 28, 1874 in Rome Twp. Jones, County, IA. From July 15, 1857, Samuel was active in buying and selling land/property in Chazy, NY. The section of Chazy where this Douglass family lived, changed it's name to Altona, Dec. 2, 1857. In 1865, Samuel and his family moved to Spring Valley, Fillmore County, MN. In the 1870 census for Spring Valley, Bloomfield Twp. Fillmore County, MN, it lists his name in error,as Daniel. Ellery and Charles were still at home, and Caroline's father, Sherberne Kingsbury Hutchinson, age 73, was living with them. In 1872, they moved to Jones County, IA, where they were engaged in farming. Dec. 8, 1875, Samuel is mentioned in the probate records of his father, Ezekiel, as living in Viroqua, Jones County, IA. (The Viroqua post office was in existence from 1873 to 1886, when it ceased to exist. About 1887, it became the town of Morely.) 1880 Census has Samuel and his family living in Rome Twp, of Jones County. Feb. 22, 1882 and Sept. 13, 1883, Samuel and Caroline bought land in Jones Co. Following the death of his wife, Feb. 23, 1898, Samuel, whose health was failing, moved in with his son Charles, in Independence, Buchannan County, IA. Samuel had sold one parcel of his land in 1895, and on Dec. 23, 1898, the last parcel was sold. Samuel died July 6, 1902, at the home of his son, Charles, in Independence IA. In early life he made a profession of religion and united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. On coming west he was removed from the church of his choice, and never united with any other church, but, held on to his faith and on his death bed said, "The Lord has been good to me." Funeral Services were held at the U. B. Church, conducted by the Rev. E. Harper, assisted by Elder Potter. He was laid to rest next to his wife, in Olin Cemetery, Olin, Jones County, IA. Samuel was survived by his four children, all of whom were present at his funeral. [1]
