The Daily Republican Monongahela, PA 18 Nov 1901
ADAM COON SAMPSON, only son of the late A. C. SAMPSON and 
Mrs. LETITIA SAMPSON, died at his Main street home at four 
o'clock, Saturday afternoon, after a short illness of 
typhoid fever.  Funeral Monday at 1:30 o'clock, interment 
Monongahela cemetery. Since 1888, Mr. Sampson has been 
employed as bookkeeper in the Peoples bank, where he daily 
came in contact with the business men of the community. He, 
ever, was an honest and upright young man.  Although of a 
reticent disposition, making few intimates, no one ever 
doubted his integrity and honesty.  His home life was 
perfect and after the labors of the day he invariably was 
found with his family, the care and attention to which was 
not a duty, but a pleasure. He was born May 14, 1870 in 
Monongahela, and married Miss NETTIE YOHE in November, 1893. 
  To them were born three children LOIS  and COON who 
survive him, ELEANOR the eldest dying in infancy.  Mr. 
Sampson was secretary of Monongahela Lodge of Elks, and 
Treasurer of Star of the Valley Council jr. O. U. A. M.  The 
regard and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him 
was shown by the beautiful floral offerings with which the 
house was filled and the large concourse of people, who not 
withstanding the inclement weather gathered this afternoon 
to pay the last tribute to the loved companion.  Rev. D. L. 
JOHNSON, pastor of the M. E. church, and Doctor J. M. 
MAXWELL were asked to conduct the obsequies.  FRANK FOSTER, 
WM. ALEXANDER, SAMUEL DOUGLAS, JAMES CRALL, FRANK KELLER,  
and TOM FARQUHAR  acted as pallbearers and Mrs. BENJAMINE 
ROSS  and Mrs. LENORE SUTMAN had charge of the music.  The 
death of this estimable young man came as a shock to his 
family and friends after so brief an illness which did not 
assume an alarming aspect until Wednesday night when partial 
paralysis and other complications set in.  his sufferings 
which were intolerable, were heroically borne until death 
come as a release.
