Samuel Worcester "Sam" Howard
(10 Oct 1829 - 21 Aug 1873)
Excerpt from letter written in 1931 by Thomas H. Blakemore to his cousins:
...My Aunt Eliza's (Lyde) husband's name was Sam Howard & he was my mother's favorite brother-in-law, so when Dad named me Tom after his Dad, my mother slipped in the name of Howard. Uncle Sam was a baggage-master on train running into Springfield, Ohio, and I was born at his home.
His death note says he worked for the Marietta and Cincinnati (M&C) Railroad
