 PULESTON, SAMUEL. M. D. Steadily practicing medicine and surgery at Sanford 
for nearly twenty years, Doctor Puleston has acquired many interests in that 
city, both in a business and in a civic capacity. He is one of the most 
accomplished men in his profession in Seminole County.
	Doctor Puleston has lived most of his life in Florida, but was born at 
Fort Worth, Texas, December 5, 1880, son of THOMAS MARVIN and MARY (ARNOLD) 
PULESTON. His father was born in the City of London, and was seven years of age 
when his parents, JOHN and SARAH PULESTON, came to the United States and 
settled in Illinois, where they lived out their lives. THOMAS M. PULESTON 
married in Illinois MARY ARNOLD, a native of Salem, that state, and of New 
England ancestry. THOMAS M. PULESTON graduated from an Illinois college, and 
soon after his marriage moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and practiced law there. In 
1883, he came to Florida, settling at Monticello, and was one of the active 
members of the bar of Jefferson County until his death, at the age of fifty-
seven. For twenty years or more he was county judge, and at the time of his 
death was grand master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Florida. He was also a 
Scottish Rite Mason. For many years he was a ruling elder of the Presbyterian 
Church, and his widow, an active member of the same church, is now living at 
Sanford. Two of their six children are now deceased.
	Dr. SAMUEL PULESTON was reared at Monticello from the age of two years, 
attended the Jefferson County High School, and had two years of private 
instruction before entering the University of Maryland at Baltimore. He was 
graduated M. D. in 1902, and before engaging in practice he spent one year in 
the University of Maryland Hospital and one year in the hospital of the Plant 
System of Railways at Waycross, Georgia. Doctor Puleston opened his office at 
Sanford in 1904, and has been engaged in steady practice here. He has taken 
work in the New York Post Graduate School of Medicine and in the Mayo Clinics 
at Rochester, Minnesota. He is a member of the Midland Medical Society, the 
Orange County Society, the Sanford Medical and Dental Society, and the Florida 
State and American Medical associations. A large part of his work in recent 
years has been general surgery.
	Doctor Puleston is vice president of the Peoples Bank of Sanford. He is 
also president of Rose Court, Incorporated, a real estate organization. He is a 
Master Mason, a member of the Elks, the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce and 
the Presbyterian Church. In 1905 he married Miss CAMILLA SHAW, a native of 
Alabama. Their two children are MARY ELIZABETH and CAMILLA.
