Samuel Trimmer was born in New Jersey and when a child immigrated with his
parents to Pennsylvania. His father, Paul Trimmer, was a soldier of the
Revolution and participated in several notable engagements. He followed the
sea for several years and died about 1830, aged nearly one hundred years.
His wife was a sister of General Anthony Wayne. Samuel Trimmer was a
farmer, a very worthy citizen and an exemplary member of the Presbyterian
church, as was also his wife. He died in 1847, aged fifty-seven.

October 14, 1843 was married to Miss Ann McAdams. His worldly effects at
this time inventoried one horse and $25 in money. After his marriage he
began life as a farmer on leased lands, and by his industry and thrift he
prospered and soon acquired the nucleus of a competency. In 1852 he came
from Pennsylvania to his present farm, which originally consisted of eighty
acres of unimproved land, which by repeated accessions now contains 420
acres, highly improved. In 1882 Mrs. Trimmer died. Her only child, James
A., enlisted May 2, 1864, in Company H, One Hundred and Sixty-first Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and died in hospital at Cumberland, Md., June 9, 1864

Presbyterian church and a good soldier. In 1885 Mr. Trimmer was again
