Samuel Douglass
and
Mrs. Samuel Douglass
SAMUEL C. DOUGLASS who was the first white child born in Claridon township, was born Apr. 21, 1812.  He was the oldest of a family of four, the children of Elijah and Betsey Douglass, who removed from New Hartford, Connecticut, in 1811.  His education was derived at common schools, and his life-work that of a farmer.  In the township and county he was often called to positions of trust, and ever was a faithful and conscientious officer.  Among these we mention trustee of the township for several years, and director of the county infirmary for three years.  He was united in marriage on Dec. 3, 1835, to Miss Susannah, daughter of Childs and Althea Taylor, of Claridon. From this marriage were born six children, four of whom are now living.  Oscar C., the eldest, was born Aug. 14, 1836; he married Calista Clark, of Concord; now resides in Claridon.  Idelia S., born June 21, 1839; she married Cyrus Cramton, and resides in Chardon.  Althea, born Apr. 19, 1841 (deceased).  An infant daughter, born Jan. 28, 1848, died soon after.  Nancy, the next child, born Mar. 28, 1849, married Warren Spencer, and resides on the old Col. Spencer homestead; and Clinton, who was born Nov. 14, 1853.  He married Laura Little, and now resides in Montville.  Mr. Douglass‘ first purchase of land was made the year subsequent to his marriage, and consisted of sixty-four acres.  This property is now occupied by John Smith.  He eventually purchased additional land in Claridon township.  Mr. Douglass was a prominent member of the Congregational church, having united with this church in Claridon a few years prior to his marriage, and continued a member until his death, which occurred Feb. 17, 1875. He was a stanch advocate of the principles of the Republican party, a kind and indulgent husband and father, and a conscientious, honorable Christian gentleman.
