Sam was at home with his parents in Waubaushene during the 1901 Census, but he seems to have set out on his own after that. By 1908, he was working as a lumberman in Little Current, ON, located on Manitoulin Island in the Manitoulin District. On 23 March 1908, Sam married 20-year old Martha Ann WILKIN in Little Current. Their family expanded almost immediately with the birth of their first son less than 3 months later. He was followed by 2 brothers and a sister. Sam and family left the Little Current area at some point after 1911. They were found in Sault Sainte Marie, ON, by 1919 and thereafter until Sam's death in 1942. Martha passed away in 1954. Both of them were buried in Old Greenwood Cemetery in Sault Sainte Marie. They are responsible for 3 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
