Civil War veteran
Private, Co. H, 3rd Wisconsin Infantry
Samuel was the son of Roswell Post Blodgett and his wife Sarah (Strong).
Samuel who resided at Dodgeville, WI, enlisted as a Private in Co. H of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry on May 4, 1861. During his service he met Amelia Caroline Cline, the daughter of Phillip and Annette (Gaden), who was serving as a nurse and wed her at Frederick, MD on October 12, 1862. Samuel was subsequently discharged due to disability on August 27, 1863. It’s possible, though purely speculative as his service record hasn't been reviewed, but Samuel may have met Amelia, then about age 24, while hospitalized during the South Mountain/Antietam campaign, both being places where his regiment fought during the Civil War.
Samuel and his wife Amelia resided in Boston and later Milton, MA following his discharge. They were the parents of Samuel, Jr., who was born in August 1863 and died April 19, 1864; William A., born in 1865; and Ada M., born in 1868. The family moved from Milton, MA to Chicago prior to the 1880 Census, where Samuel was a Cabinet Maker. In 1900 Samuel was an Expressman in Chicago, before moving to Cumberland Co., PA and finally to St. Louis where he died at age 79. His wife Amelia died at the Woodlawn, Baltimore County, MD home of her daughter Ada May Gott in 1929.
