He was a druggist in Oklahoma City in 1930 according to the census. His wife, Mary A. Hubbell Bres, was born Aug. 1874 in MS. They married Sept. 9, 1886. In the 1900 census he was still in Monroe, LA and his mother Mary "Mollie" Agnes was living with him and his wife Mary.
His father was Dr. Paul Bres and is buried in Old City Cemetery in Monroe, LA. They had children Elizabeth "Lizzie" Roane Bres Marable Giles (buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie, TX)(see her picture to the right), Catherine (Katie R.) Bres Chatham (buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery), Callie "Clara" Marie Bres, and Paul Henry Bres (I believe is most certainly Sam's brother), are both buried in Old City Cemetery, Monroe, LA.
There is some question as to whether his mother Mary was born in 1830 according to the cemetery record. The census records list around 1834.
His mother Mary "Mollie" Agnes Bres was buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Vicksburg, MS.
Samuel's middle name is likely Paul as his father was named Paul. He was apparently a Mason as their symbol was engraved on his marker and the Masonic Home bought his plot and his wife's.
