Samuel Wesley 'Lion Sam' Samples

  • Long Sam Samples was only one of four Samuel Samples' that lived in the Twistabout community during his life time.
  • The other Samuel's were
Short Sam
Nicholas County Sam and
Lion Sam
  • Long Sam and Short Sam were neighbors and were never known to agree on anything, except that there should be a fence between their properties. However, each had his inflexible idea of where the property lines ran, and each built a fence where he thought the line laid. These two fence were from eight to twelve feet apart, leaving a lane between then that was about a half mile long and that was locallyknown as "Samples Lane."
