Father: Samuel Merritt b: 1809 in Knox Co., Tennessee
Mother: Elizabeth Wolfenbarger b: 1808 in Greenbriar Co., Virginia
Samuel Jr. married Millie Emeline Haskins, daughter of Joseph Haskins (who also served with the Ozark County Home Guard in the Civil War) and Elizabeth Holt, on 5 May 1867 in Ozark County, MO. Millie was born 18 October 1851 in Missouri and died 1 August 1905 in Ozark County, MO. At the time of their marriage, Samuel Jr. was 24 years of age and Millie was 15. They had two daughters:
*Florence Emeline, born 28 December 1868 in Ozark County, MO, married first, Joseph Everett Peacock 12 April 1888 in Ozark County, MO, married second, Henry Kelly Derrick 7 March 1903 in Ozark County, MO, died 28 November 1941 in Ozark County, MO
*Mary A. C., born 2 October 1871, died 27 April 1872, both events in Ozark County, MO.
Samuel Maritt, Jr. died in Ozark County, MO, on 20 May 1872, not quite a month after the death of his infant daughter, Mary. Testimony contained in his Civil War pension file (for widow and minor child) points to the fact that he became very ill while serving in his last military assignment—the 16th Missouri Cavalry. Captain James H. Sallee completed an affidavit giving information on Samuel Jr.‘s illness, stating that he (Samuel Jr.) was disabled when he was ¯running after Rebels when the ground was so rough that his men could not ride. Captain Sallee ordered them to dismount and continue on foot after the Rebels, and as they were ¯making for the White River Bluff, he saw Samuel Jr. spitting up blood, and ¯he still at times spit up blood as long as he lived and his disability resulted in consumption.
It is obvious from these testimonies that Samuel Maritt, Jr. suffered considerably from a serious lung ailment from the time the symptoms began (while still in the service) until his death from consumption [tuberculosis] on 20 May 1872. He was buried in the Welch Cemetery in Ozark County, Missouri.
