Samuel Correll

As printed in 1881

SAMUEL CORRELL, farmer; P. O. Canton; is the second in a family of twelve children born to John and Elizabeth (Lind) Correll, who were natives of Carroll Co., Md., where John was engaged in the distilling business, and farming. In 1813 he removed to Adams Co., Pa., and engaged in farming, which business he carried on until 1834, when he removed to Stark Co., settling on a farm in Plain Tp., where Samuel now resides. He remained on this farm until death removed him from the midst of many friends, who keenly felt the loss of his amiable disposition and true manliness. Samuel, our subject, was born in Adams Co., Pa., March 10, 1815, and his childhood was spent on the farm, where he received his education in the common schools of his native county, and when 19 years of age came to Ohio with his parents. The year following, he apprenticed himself to the tanner's trade, serving an apprenticeship of two years. He then worked as journeyman for a short time, and established a business in Harrisburg, this county, where he remained twenty-four years. Ho then removed to the farm where he now lives, (it being 1861). In 1840 he married Miss Lucetta, daughter of John and Julia Depuy, of Stark Co. From that marriage there have been seven children, five of whom are living — - John H., William W., Elizabeth E., JuliaI., and Samuel. Mr. Correll is a stanch Republican, and has held many township offices in a Democratic township.
