Obituary of Samuel Jamison Jr. (1818-1890) published in the Genius of Liberty, 9 January 1890, p. 1, col. 8, whole number 4411, Vol. 85, No. 40. Image obtained from the microfilm holdings at the Uniontown Public Library by David Fordyce in 2014. Roll number 17, 20 June 1889 - 28 June 1892:
Samuel Jamison, one of Luzerne's oldest residents, died at his home, near Ormond, Thursday noon, January 2nd, 1890, from a complication of diseases. He had been a sufferer for nearly three years, but bore his affliction without a murmer; and during these months of suffering, his manner was ever cheerful, and marked by the same tenderness and sympathy which characterized his whole life. He was born near the spot where his body now lies, in the year 1818, and was, consequently, in his seventy-second year. He became a member of the West Bend M. E. church in 1844, and has since been one of its leading and active members. In his death, the church loses a pier of genuine worth and usefulness, and the community a man whose sterling qualities and nobleness of purpose had made an honored and respected citizen. A wife and five children survive him: John Taylor, of Augusta, Illinois; Anna, wife of Jos. McClure, of Sumpter, South Carolina; Willis B., a prominent dry goods merchant in Uniontown, Frank and Charles. The last two named were constantly at his bedside during his last illness. On Saturday a large concourse of friends and relatives assembled, and the procession wended its way to the West Bend cemetery, where the remains were consigned to their last resting place.
