Published in the Piscataquis (ME) Observer 29 Oct 1868 p2: "OBITUARY---Died, in Foxcroft, on the 30th of September last, Mr. Samuel Greeley, aged 61 years.
Mr. Greeley was born in Gilmanton, N. H., Sept. 29, 1807. He removed to Foxcroft in 1829, when but 22 years of age. In 1836, in a season of revival, he experienced religion and unified with the Congregational Church in Foxcroft, with which he remained connected until the time of his death, about thirty-two years. During all this time he continued a consistent and devoted christian. Humble and unassuming, naturally distrustful of himself, and prone to deplore his want of faith and unworthiness as a disciple of Christ, his brethren in the church recognized in him, one whose heart always beat warm and true to the cause he had espoused, and cheerful testimony is rendered to his uniform readiness to do whatever came within the scope of his ability and opportunity for the advancement of that cause.
The interests of the church lay near his heart. Nothing gratified him more than to know that its members were faithful and active in the Master's work. Nothing gave him so much pain as coldness and inconsistency on the part of professed christians. He sought opportunity to converse with such---and kindly endeavored to win them back to duty. He was always ready to speak of the christian's hope, and to recommend it to those who were strangers to it old and young. He had a heart to sympathize with all who were in distress, and visited those who were sick or in affliction.
While driving the stage, which he did once a week for a number of years, he was the means of doing much good along his route by distributing Sabbath School Books and papers, and by visiting and praying with the sick---and by recommending Christ generally to those with whom he met. The children along his route learned to welcome his weekly visits, and watched with eager eyes the appearance of the well known gray horse and stage wagon---and many a hoe of poverty and sickness was made more comfortable by the comforts he gave and induced others to give.
In his relations with his neighbors he obeyed the apostolic injunction to 'follow peace with all men.' Honest and upright in his dealings, kind and neighborly, he enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and good will of the community.
During a protracted sickness he manifested that patient resignation and perfect trust that sometimes make the sick room 'privileged above the common haunts of life.'
For weeks he looked forward with pleased anticipation to the hour when he should be released from pain and weariness---confidently expecting to go to dwell with the Savior he had so long loved. Faithful to duty to the last, he lead his family in prayer every morning almost up to the day of his death. Such lives are not in vain. He has gone to his reward and many who remain will long remember his faithful and constant Christian life."
