Page 397 Sampson Day was born 1825, in Pendleton County, near the mouth of Seneca; his parents, who were of English and German descent, were noted for their honesty, and their eight children received a pious training. Sampson, the third child, went to school one month each year for eight years, and never went any more. In 1846 he married a Miss Harman, who died in 1866. Day staid at home during the war, and did what he could in the cause of peace. He was a Union man, and served as a justice of the peace. In Pendleton County, strongly Southern, this is a good recommendation. He decided impartially for Union and Confederate. He was the man who held the election in Pendleton County, and had it go with the new State. He bought a farm at the mouth of Red Creek, and soon afterward married a Miss Waldren, and raised a family of nine children. He now lives on Dry Fork, in Tucker County. ------------------------------------------------------------------- (wife of Sampson Day) Register of Deaths, Tucker County, WV (Page 42) FULL-NAME: Mrs. Samson Day AGE-AT-DEATH: 67 years DEATH-DATE: November 8, 1912 DEATH-PLACE: Gladwin MARITAL-STATUS: Widow CAUSE-OF-DEATH: Brights Disease ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access other biographies for Tucker County, WV by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/wv/tucker/bios.html -------------------------------------------------------------------
