Samuel Logan appears in censuses from 1850, 1860, 1865 and 1870. Other documents are his marriage license to Paulina, a biography published in the 1885 History of McDonough County, Hire Township - pp. 625-626, and his obituary. The one and only time an initial, "C", appears is in the 1870 census. Perhaps his parents did give him a middle name, but for whatever reason it appears that Samuel eschewed the use of that name or initial. Researchers may note that initial in their documentation. The best way to respect his memory is to present his name as he chose to be known.~ The Macomb Journal, page 3

LOGAN--At his home in Hire township, on the 8th inst., Mr. Samuel Logan departed this life after a long and painful illness.
Deceased was born in the year 1822, being almost 56 years of age at the time of his death. He needs no man's testimony to prove his correctness in life, his devotion to God and to the welfare of his race, having spent 46 years of his pilgrimage here as a Christian, being converted when but ten years of age. Shall we miss him? we know of none, no, not one, to fill his place. His services to the public were too numerous to mention; he always performed his duties faithfully, honestly and uprightly. His equal might be, but his superior never was. His sufferings he endured with Christian fortitude, and manifested the greatest patience and calm Christian resignation. He anxiously awaited the Master's summons, and when it came, joyfully passed to join loved ones on the other shore. his last words were, "Jesus is with me in this mine hour of death." The funeral services were conducted at the home of the family, by Rev. Saunders, of Blandinsville; his text was, "Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord." Brother Logan was a man who had a kind word for every one [sic]. The social circle was blessed by his presence, and the world better by his example. He was a strong man for the right and an able counselor, an exemplary father, and a loving husband. He leaves a wife and four children, three daughters and a son, to mourn their loss. They have the sympathy of all their friends. It can justly be inscribed on the slab which marks his resting place: "He did not live in vain." A large concourse of people followed his remains to the New HopeC emetery, where it [sic] will remain till the final judgement.

EARLY SETTLERS
Elder John Logan purchased the place on section 3, on which his widow now resides, in 1834, removing to it October 13, 1835, coming from Industry township, where the family had settled in 1828. A sketch of this noted man occurs in the Ecclesiastical chapter of this volume, as he was largely connected with the churches of the country at an early day, and, in fact, until his death.
Samuel Logan, the oldest son of Elder John Logan, was born in Kentucky, in Simpson county, October 24, 1822. His early life was spent in Schuyler county, and the advantages of school were not as they are at this age of the world, however, young Logan obtained a fair education. In his marriage relations, be was very fortunate in forming a union with Paulina Girton, the date of which was November 9, 1850. She was the daughter of Dickenson and Clara (Green) Girton, the date and place of whose settlement will be found elsewhere. Mrs. Logan lives on the farm, which her husband improved, and is in good circumstances, having a considerable amount of land, besides property in Blandinsville, and attends to the business herself. Four children were given to this happy pair--Viola, wife of Mortimer Cover, who lives in Chalmers township this county; Leona, wife of Wm. Mackey, of Hire township. Selwin, who owns a farm in Hire township, but resides in Ellis county, Kansas; and Ella, wife of Hebron Kline, living in Chalmers. The following was taken from the Macomb Journal in regard to Mr. Logan at the time of his death, which occurred June 7th, 1878. "He needs no man's testimony to prove his devotion to God, and to the welfare of the race, having spent forty-six years of his pilgrimage here as a christian, being converted at ten years of age. Shall we miss him? We know of none, no, not one to fill his place. He always performed his services honestly and uprightly. His equal might be, but his superior never was. His last words were "Jesus is with me in this, my hour of death." The funeral services were conducted at the home of the family by Rev. Saunders, of Blandinsville. His text was "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." And in another place it says "Another pioneer gone" and pronounces a splendid eulogy on this man who seemed the friend of every one who ever knew him.
