He started off working as a harness maker in Milford Center, Ohio. As a younger son he was not set to inherit much in the way of a farm. In his father's will it was noted that Samuel receive 10 dollars and the lot in Milford Center he was at that time living on. Sometime after his father's death he left Union County, attending the Rush Medical College in Cincinnati, Ohio where he became a Doctor of Medicine in 1867.
He then relocated to Illinois, after a time settling in Kankakee County, where he practiced medicine until his death.
It is unclear when or if he divorced his first wife Elizabeth (McCloud) Hawley. What is known is that he married Harriet "Hattie" Stanton in 1875 (Will Co., Illinois) and that they had a daughter together, Meorie.
His place of burial is unknown, but is suspected to be in the vicinity of Waldron/Aroma Park, Illinois, as Hattie is buried there and that is the last place he is known to have residence.
