   SAMUEL BLACKMORE, a well-to-do citizen of Scotland, is a native of the
"Buckeye State," born in 1829. He was liberally educated in the common schools,
was raised on a farm, and when eighteen years old started on life's voyage as a
steamboat hand on the Ohio River. At the end of three years, he left the water,
and in 1850 came to Greene County, Ind., where he has since resided. For
thirty-three years, he has been a resident of Taylor Township, and by a life of
industry and good management has accumulated considerable property. Besides
owning valuable property in Scotland, where he is established in merchandising,
he owns 320 acres of good farming and grazing land in Taylor Township, and 620
acres in Kansas. Mr. Blackmore is one of the reliable men of the county; is a
Democrat in politics, and was married in 1851 to Miss Matilda Mackall, by whom
he is the father of nine children—Thomas D., Benoni W., Caroline V., George F.,
John M., Charles S., Napoleon B., Samuel F. and Cora E. For a sketch of his
parents, see the biography of Mr. Blackmore's three brothers.
