Trotter, Samuel Alexander, a representative and successful business man of 
Coal City, has spent his entire life in that village, where he was born 
February 25, 1887, a son of John and Mary (Suffern) Trotter. His education was 
acquired in the public schools, and he had the advantage of three years at the 
Morris High school. Later on for some time he was engaged in the meat business 
with his father, and also assisted with the work on the farm. In 1912 the firm 
of John Trotter & Sons, dealers in hay and grain, with elevator at Coal City, 
was established, the partners being John Trotter and his sons, William J. and 
Samuel A., the latter being secretary of the Commercial Club of Coal City, and 
an enterprising and highly respected citizen, always ready to promote the 
public welfare and prosperity of the community.

On June 15, 1910, Mr. Trotter married Jennie Berta, born July 30, 1885, of 
Braidwood, Ill., and to this union was born one child, Dorothy Ellen, born 
January 4, 1912. Mr. Trotter is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. He is 
a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and the Masonic order. In politics 
he is a Republican.
