SAMUEL DICK, merchant, son of Henry and Ellen (Piat) Dick, was born January 27, 
1858, in York, Penn., and has always resided in York.  He received his education 
at the public schools of York, and went to his trade, ornamental painter, when 
quite a young man.  For ten years he had the responsible position of foreman in 
the painting department of A. B. Farquhar's Agricultural Works, which position 
he relinquished on account of his health, by advice of his physician.  He then 
turned his attention to the mercantile business, in which he is now engaged on 
North Duke Street extended.  July 3, 1880, Mr. Dick married Mary Butcher, 
daughter of William and Elenora (Gemmell) Butcher, of Hopewell Township.  Two 
children have blessed this union:  William and Mollie.  Samuel Dick, the 
grandfather of our subject, was the leading carriage builder in York in his 
time.
