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.
