Notes for Samuel Greenleaf (Spouse 1)
• His tombstone has his birth year as “1822”
• Samuel authored/drew the “Log City Days,” which was about the founding of Galesburg, Knox, IL. The pictures, drawn in pencil with painstaking detail, are on four sheets joined together, and form a sort of panoramic view (see multimedia) of the settlement from west to east, each cabin numbered for identification with the description in the accompanying manuscript. The text is written in a bold, legible hand on sheets that have been pasted together top and bottom to form one continuous strip. In addition to the data about Log City, there is a similar sketch of the first house built in Galesburg, accompanied by the floor plans.
• In the 1840, 1850 & 1860 Illinois Census there appears to be some kind of relationship between a Samuel HOLYOKE, S. G. HOLYOKE (both may be Samuel Greenleaf HOLYOKE), William HOLYOKE, Edward HOLYOKE, Joseph HOLYOKE, John HOLYOKE and George HOLYOKE. All are recorded as living in Galesburg, Knox, IL.
• He was an expert pattern maker and house builder, who, from the year 1836 until 1904, was a resident of the city of Galesburg, Ill. In 1904 he came to the City of Providence, and in the home of his son, Dr. Edward Holyoke, spent the last ten years of his long and useful life, which covered a period of ninety years.
• Samuel G. was educated at Knox College; learned to be a mechanic while a boy and worked at farming, started a wagon-shop in 1842 in Galesburg; carried it on till 1855, and made the first covered carriage ever constructed in this county. In 1871-72 he engaged with G. W. Brown as wheel-man, and as such invented the machinery for making the kind of wheels now used in the famous Brown Corn-Planter. Since 1878 he has been at the head of the pattern department of G. W. Brown & Co. and is recognized as a workman of extraordinary skill.
