General Notes: Husband - Hiram K. Sample


He was born on the old Sample homestead at Girty's Run [Allegheny County, Pennsylvania?]. In early life he had charge of the muck-mill of Stewart, Lloyd & Co. As a republican he was elected, in 1872, to the legislature, serving five terms. He was appointed to various committees, and served with ability; was re-elected time and again, served the last term on corporations, and was chairman of the committee of the geological survey. He was a man of great ability and integrity. He owned a farm of fifty acres of land adjoining Millvale.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was trustee; he was a member of the R. A.

He received a common school education and worked on his father's farm until 1852, when he learned the trade of iron roller and had charge of the muck rolls, in the mill of Stewart Lloyd & Co., from 1852 until 1857, when he again resumed farming. At the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion he went with the 139th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was in the commissary and mail department for three years. In politics, he was a stanch Republican, and he was elected a member of the State Legislature from the 5th District, Allegheny County, in 1872 and 1873, and again represented his district in 1885 and 1887. Mr. Sample was an earnest Christian and a charter member of the Millvale Presbyterian Church.
