From the 1882 book "History of Gallia County" by H. H. Hardesty & Co. we have the following "Personal History" of Samuel V. Clark:
"SAMUEL V. CLARK -- residing in Clay township, was born in Gallia county, Ohio, March 25, 1833. He is a son of Isaac and Annie (Lee) Clark, who were early settlers in this county, and was married in Gallia county, on December 20, 1860, to Elizabeth Dickey, born February 7, 1840, in the same county as her husband. Her parents are Wilson L. and Elizabeth (Riley) Dickey, who were also early settlers. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Clark are: Mary E., born April 28, 1861; Elma L., March 10, 1864; Annie A., July 3, 1866; Edgar M., October 21, 1868; Emit H., March 19, 1871; Cora F., August 11, 1874; Curtis, October 26, 1878; Arthur, Nov. 2, 1881 -- all reside at home. Mr. Clark has held the office of justice of the peace for several years, and holds the same office at present. He enlisted in the late war in 1865, for one year, and served about five months, when he was discharged on account of sickness and returned home; the regiment in which he served was the 193d Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in Company B. Mr. Clark is a farmer and a school-teacher. Postoffice address, Eureka, Gallia county, Ohio."
There are several factual errors in the above. First being that he was born in 1832 rather than 1833. Second, his wife's father's middle name was Smith so the initial L. for his middle name is also incorrect. Also, he enlisted to serve during the Civil War in 1863, not 1865.
