From "Mills County, Iowa, 1985," published by Mills County, Iowa,
Historical Society:
Soon after the death of his wife Elizabeth on 23 February, 1866,
Samuel's daughters were married. He became very lonely so he asked a
lady in the neighborhood if she would marry him. She accepted, so
Samuel and Catherine Buffington were married 18 October 1866 without
the usual courtship. Catherine was born 6 June 1833 in Meigs County
Ohio, the daughter of Hezekiah Buffington and Elizabeth Barringer.
Samuel and Catherine had two daughters.
Charlotte May was born 10 September 1867, she married William Henry
Rowe 11 December 1890, she died 12 July 1958.
Nellie Porter was born 18 September 1875, she married Thomas James
McGarry 29 March 1899, she died 23 March 1907.
Samuel was a farmer and introduced some of the first purebred cattle to
the area. He enjoyed singing and directed the choir in the West
Liberty Church where he attended regularly. Paul Rowe had the tuning
fork Samuel used. Over the years Samuel and Catherine's home served as
a foster home for many children.
Catherine wrote diaries, collectively known as "Kate's Journal," that
have been preserved and handed down in the family. Her Journal gives
genealogists valuable information about her relatives and neighboring
families. Through it we get a glimpse of her feelings and actions.
Her talent for keeping a diary has been handed down to a few of her
descendants.
Just as May was starting at Tabor College, Samuel became ill and she
was called home. Samuel died 2 October 1884. Catherine lived on the
home farm until her death 22 September 1902. They are both buried in
West Liberty Cemetery."
