SAMUEL ELDER (brother of George of Morrow Co):
b. 08 Nov 1814, Bedford Co PA, m. Abigail Noyer (Nurer) Leasure,
26 Dec 1835, In Richland Co OH
Samuel d. 26 Oct 1883, Morrow Co OH
Obit-- Nov. 1, 1883:
Death of Samuel Elder.
Samuel Elder, one of the pioneers of Morrow county, died
at his residence in North Bloomfield township on the 24th ult., of consumption.
Deceased was born in Bedford county, Pa., Nov. 6, 1814, and was aged 68
years, 11 months and 18 days. He moved
with his father's family to this county in the year 1826, and participated
in all the hardships which fell to the lot of our early settlers.
He was married to Abagail Noyer, Dec. 26, 1837, who survives him to whom
was born five children, four of whom are still living, death
having entered the family but once in those long years. This
family among the many patriotic families of this county, was called upon
to contribute their share of the sacrifices to be made in the preservation
of our country during the dark days of the rebellion, and gave one son,
Plato, as their share of the sacrifice, who was killed in March, 1863 in
Missouri. The remaining son and one daughter live in this vicinity;
one daughter living in Iowa, and one daughter has devoted her life to the
missionary work in Egypt. The family have lost a kind father, the
vicinity in which he lived, an estimable citizen.
Morrow County History:
http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Morrow/MorChXI.htm
"John Elder, from Pennsylvania, was the first settler in the west,
part of the township, and entered the land where his son, Samuel
Elder, now
lives, when it was an untouched forest.
Not a tree amiss, as the latter gentlemen informed us, except now
and then,
where "one had been cut down for honey or a coon."
Mr. Elder settled first in Troy Township, in 1829, and, in the fall
of 1830, removed to this section, where he died in 1837.
Samuel, who lives on the old homestead, remembers hauling corn from
the old place in Troy Township,
the first winter they lived here. It was a winter of unusual severity,
and, with oxen hitched to a large sled,
they would go back and forth through the snow, taking two days to
make a round
trip, and carrying their provisions with them, as the country was
not as thickly settled as it is now."
