12. SAMUEL6 SCHLAGEL (HENRY5, PHILLIP4, GIDEON3, BENJAMIN2, FREIDRICK1) was born March 22, 1836 in Butler Twp., Butler Co., PA, and died 1925. He married LEAH BEETLE, daughter of JOHN BEETLE and ANNAHARDT TRANSHEW. She was born 1845, and died October 22, 1877. Notes for SAMUEL SCHLAGEL: Samuel was incapacitated by Tuberculosis at about age 27. When his father Henry died the job of settling up his estate was at hand. Henry had divided up most of the land already and there was only about 100 arces left in the 4 old homestead. Samuel & his family lived in the old home and a deal was struck with the other 4 heirs that Samuel would take over the homestead for $10,000 to be paid to the other 4 heirs who hadn't recieved land from Henry. Unfortunely the farm had not produced much in the past 15 yrs and Samuel wasn't able to farm much and the debt didn't go away until daughter Priscilla married Thomas Pressley Roe and another agreement was reached; for more see notes about TP Roe.
