~~~~~~~~~~~
Transcribed from: http://tpettit.best.vwh.net/index.html
A letter written by Alma Traylor of Coffeen, IL, to Donna Woodcock of Gas City, IN, May 15, 1963, has the following text: "Samuel married a Beck, but I do not know her first name. Among their children were: 1, Amasa - m. a Linville (had a large family), 2, Katherine - m. Aaron Lyerla, 3, Alice - m. William Lyerla, 4, Wesley, 5, Powell, 6, Preston. Sam's second wife was Mrs. Anne Williams, a widow with two daughters, Lillie and Bertha Williams. Samuel and Anne had a daughter, Cora, who married a Beck and who died a few months ago."

Samuel's obituary reads: "Uncle Sam Sellers, one of the best known old settlers of the south part of Montgomery County, died at his home 1 1/2 miles west of Chapman, on Saturday night, May 8th, aged 80 years, 3 months and 26 days. The deceased was born and raised in OH, and came to this county when a young man. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Ruth Beck. Six children survive this union. His second wife, who survives him, was Mrs. Anne Williams, and one child from this union together with her mother survives the deceased. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the family residence, the funeral address being made by Jacob Traylor, of Coffeen, a nephew of the deceased. On May 4, Mr. Sellers and his wife were driving a spirited team into Coffeen, when the horses became frightened and ran away, throwing the aged pair out of the buggy and injuring them. Mr. Sellers suffered from concussion of the brain and was unconscious almost to the time of his death. The deceased was blessed with a cheerful disposition and was very active for a man of his years. He possessed a fund of stories and remembrances which he delighted in telling and which made him an entertaining conversationalist and his memory will long continue to live in the minds of those who knew him and who held him in high esteem. The surviving children are Mrs. Catherine Lyerla and Mrs. Alice Lyerla of Crestline, Kansas; Andrew P. of Decatur, Macon Co., IL; M.P. of Dubanque, Cal.; A. E. of Hillsboro, Ill.; S. U. of Grand Junction, Col.; and Mrs. Cora Beck, who resides in Oregon. All the children except M. P. Sellers were present." (Crestline, KS is in Cherokee Co., just over the state line from Joplin, MO. Decatur, IL is in Macon Co. Hillsboro, IL is in Montgomery Co., near Coffeen. Grand Junction, CO is in Mesa Co. I couldn't locate Dubanque, CA in the Zip Code directory or atlas; it may have been absorbed into another town.)
