>FAMILY BIBLE

Samuel S Holden
was born September the 6 day in the year of our Lord 1832

Samuel S. Holden and Sarah A. Buxton was Married in September the 30 day in the year of our Lord 1856

Ask what source is....believe this is from Jane Hodgson:
Rev. S.S. Holden, minister, P.O. West Milton, Miami County, Ohio. Among the many men of Ohio who have devoted their lives to the ministry, our subject occupies a leading place. He was born in Harrison County, W. Va.,
September 6, 1832, and remained with his father until he attained his twenty-third year, removing with  his parents to Champaign County, Ohio, in 1835, thence to Kalida, Putnam County, where he received his education. Receiving his theological training from his father, he, in 1854, entered the ministry of the United Brethern Church, and in 1856 joined the Auglaize Conference, preaching in different portions of Ohio and Indiana for thirteen years.  In 1869, he was called to the Miami Conference, his first work being on the Beaverton Circuit,ninety members being received during the first three years. He next went to Germantown, fifty-eight members being received there, and after filling various other pulpits he was finally called to Beavertown Circuit, where we now find him. During his twenty-three years of ministerial services, he has been instrumental in building nine churches, one of them being called "Holden Chapel" in honor of the founder, and it is one of the finest church buildings in the county, costing $5,000, its graceful spire standing as a monument to his untiring energy.  To illustrate his efficiency as a man of deeds we refer to a few of the many things accomplished by him during his labors in the Lord's vineyard.  During his two years work at Springboro, on the Utica Mission Circuit, although he found no church organization there, one was soon effected;Centennial Chapel, built at a cost of $5,000, and seventy-six members received.
He has collected for missionary and other purposes $25,727.40, and has
received into the church 1,610 members; he has never missed an appointment on
account of ill health, and in an early day he rode on a circuit in Jay, Blackford and Wells Counties, Ind., 150 miles every three weeks, filling seventeen appointments; surely his has been a grand work.  He was married September  30, 1856, to Sarah A. Buxton, second daughter of Singleton Buxton, of Mercer County, Ohio, of which union five children have been born, three of whom are living--Pierson B., William S. and Ella.  To every appearance, Mr. Holden  is only in the prime of life, and imbued as he is with a spirit of Christian energy, and a love of doing good, his work is sure to be crowned with the diadem of success in this life and the eternal crown of happiness in the next.
