Samuel C. Woodside

Born in December of 1826 in Kentucky, Samuel C. Woodside was the son of John J. Woodside and Nancy F. Hamilton. The 1850 Census shows him living in Randolph County, Illinois in the home of a Miller family. By the 1860 Census he is living in Warren County, Iowa with wife Louisa (Carpenter). They were married on May 14, 1857 in Warren County. There is also a female child named Alphrata, 5 years of age, living in the household. It is possible this child's mother was not Louisa as she was born 2 years before the marriage. However, I have not found a previous marriage for Samuel.

Census and marriage records indicate the following about Alfreda Orilla Woodside: She was born December 1854 in Iowa and married William Henry Knable on March 9, 1879 in Peoria County, Illinois. Information on her death is not known.

Samuel and Louisa had 4 known children:

• Mary - born Oct 1863 in Iowa, death unknown.
• Isaac Newton - born June 1866 in Illinois; died June 7, 1953 in Garland County, Arkansas. He married Phoebe E. Thirlwell in 1895 in Kansas.
• Emma - born September 1870 in Illinois; died December 8, 1921 in Richardson County, Nebraska. She married George Edward Jones about 1895.
• Charles Henry - born July 27, 1873 and died May 1966 in Peoria County, Illinois. He married Clara W. Mills on November 27, 1900 in Hancock County, Illinois.

By 1880 Samuel has divorced Louisa and has moved to Kansas. In 1900 he is found living in the household of Hugh Darrough in Cowley County, Kansas, and is 73 years of age. He does not appear in the 1910 Census and it is assumed he died within a short time after 1900.

Louisa has remarried to Enos G. Mack on April 23, 1879 in Peoria County, Illinois. The 2 youngest Woodside children, Emma and Charles, are living in the household of their stepfather on the 1880 Census. Louisa died September 19, 1905 in Tazewell County, Illinois.
