"Samuel was the eldest of ten children and his father being crippled, the care of the family devolved on him." After leaving home and marrying Elizabeth, he began a cabinet shop at Hillsboro, then he went to Newcastle and Mt. Summit working as a wagon-maker. He and his wife were organizers of the Mt. Summit Christian church. 

    "Mr. Cannaday was afflicted a number of years with a cancer which baffled the skill of the best physicans. He finally procured a remedy which effected a complete and permanent cure. He was so assured of its worth that he secured the recipe and has met with extraordinary success in the cure of the disease, being visited by sufferers from all sections of the Union. He has served as Postmaster thirteen years, and Justice of the Peace nine years, in Prairie Township."
