Samuel M. Bartlett. All who knew this noble man in lifetime will be pleased to see in this volume a sketch of his career. To keep green the memory of the departed whose lives were worthy and filled with good deeds is an object worthy of much effort. Mr. Bartlett was born in Springfield, Mass., September 3, 1810, a son of Pliny and Lucy (Morgan) Bartlett, the former of whom was engaged in the manufacture of rifles during the Revolutionary War. The boy-hood days of Samuel M. Bartlett were spent in the city of his birth in attending the public schools, and after attaining a suitable age he began learning the cabinet-maker's trade at Westfield, Mass., and applied himself closely by learning the details of this business.
In 1836, [error: 1837] he began working at his trade in Quincy, Ill., in the employ of George Wood, and after remaining with him for a short time, he embarked in the cabinet-making and undertaking business on his own account and conducted the same very successfully until his death in 1867 [error: 1874] every year of his adult existence being prolific of good works. He was always noted for his diligence, his industry and his great perseverance in whatever he undertook, characteristics which appear to have carried him through life. His private business affairs were always skillfully and judiciously managed; he was a careful observer of the trend of events, and the economic training he received in early life, combined with the characteristic thrift of the native of New England, led him to the conclusion that a wonderful era of development had set in the Western States.
On October 5, 1838, our subject was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Roseline M. Robertson, a daughter of John B. and Catherine Robertson, worthy and honored residents of Beverly, Ill., and eventually their union resulted in the birth of six children, five of whom are living at the present time; Eliza C., wife of Joel West, of Burlington, Iowa; Mary F., at home with her mother; William H. who is a Master Mechanic of the Chicago, Burlington At Quincy Railroad shops at Burlington, Iowa; John W., a machinist of Quincy, Ill.; and Lucy M., wife of J.B. [error: G.B.] Wood, of Gardener, Mass.
For twenty-five years he acted in the capacity of City Sexton, and socially, was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Politically, he always supported the men and measures of the Republican party, and for one term of two years he was Alderman from the Sixth Ward. Kindly in the disposition, cordial, warm-hearted and sympathetic, he seemed to have been especially gifted by nature for the calling of an undertaker, and in this most necessary business his services were in great demand, and he soon gathered abut him a large patronage. In the domestic circle he was the model husband and father, was kind considerate and thoughtful for the comfort and welfare of his family, and made their happiness and well-being the chief aim and object of his existence. Mr. Bartlett was a model American citizen, enterprising, public-spirited and patriotic, and his influence was ever felt on the side of justice and right. The oppressed and weak found in him a stanch supporter, and although usually unknown, his charities were numerous and liberal. At his pleasant residence at No. 725 Broadway, Quincy, Ill., when just in the zenith of his career, he passed to his reward.
