**********************************************************************

Dr. Samuel F. Grubb, now a farmer of Hart Township, Wright Co., Mo., 
was born in Wythe County, Va., in 1826, the son of Henry and Mary
(Woolford) Grubb, and grandson of John Grubb, who was also a native of
Wythe County, Va., and born back in the eighteenth century.  The pater-
nal great-grandfather came from Switzerland, and settled near Wythe-
ville, Va.  Henry Grubb was born in Wythe County, Va., in 1799, was
reared on a farm owned by his father, and he there followed agriculture
pursuits all his life.  He was captain of the State Militia in Virginia
and died in 1873.  Mary (Woolford) Grubb died in 1882, at the age of
seventy-nine or eighty years.  She was the mother of thirteen children,
of whom Dr. Samuel F. Grubb is the fifth.  He attained his growth in 
his native county, and studied and practiced dentistry under Dr. John
Welsh, an expert in his profession.  Dr. Grubb became a partner with
him, and soon became one of the most popular dentists in the country.
He practiced in Wythe and Grayson Counties for more than thirty years.
He moved to Wright County, Mo., in 1887, and purchased 300 acres of 
land, on which he is now residing.  Hew has had a few difficult cases
since coming to Missouri, but has not attended to the dental business
entirely.  He expects, as soon as he can, to go to work here again.
He was married in North Carolina to Miss Margaret Huddle, who was born
in Wythe County, Va.  They ran away, were married in North Carolina,
and to their union were born two children, Nancy and Mary E.  Dr. Grubb
is a Republican in politics, and is an excellent citizen.  His set of
dental instruments are as good as can be found in the United States,
and cost him $450 in gold.  The handles of all his instruments are made
of cameo, ivory and pearl, with gold bands.
