Samuel WYMORE

                   As a lad his family moved from Indiana to Mahaska Iowa in 1844 and 1855 to Kansas. He was old enough to get out on his own so he moved to Missouri farming and met his wife. He returned and worked for his fatherin Kansas and then built a cabin while living in their wagon while Isabell put in a garden. They took their livestock, a team of oxen, team of Texas steers, a pr of steers, all hitched ahead of the wagon, back to Missouri to winter and returned in the Spring to find the house and belongings burned down.  These loses made their circumstances very complicated. They were not disheartened, inspired by a faithful wife he gave battle to adversity and became victor over all.
