Doane, Samuel H., was born in Jefferson county, New York, on August 18,
1816. His parents were farmers, and Samuel's early years and youth were
spent on a farm. In 1843 he, in company with his brother Daniel, went to
Rockland county, in the same state, and worked as farm hands for one of
the old German farmers of that vicinity. They remained with him for
several years, and induced him to lay aside the old-fashioned one-handled
plow and wooden-tooth harrow, with which he had cultivated his land, after
the manner of his parents. In the fall of 1856 Samuel came to Highland
township. He labored among farmers for many years, and drew the lumber for
the first hotel ever erected in Plainview. He now resides with his brother
Daniel, on the latter's farm, which adjoins his own snug little place of
forty acres on section 33.
