Samuel Sanders Lingo

Died: Judge S.S.Lingo [Samuel Sanders Lingo], at his house near College Mound, on Monday, 25th of June 1877, of cancer in the stomach.

The deceased was born in Lincoln Co. Tennessee, March 1805, moved to Randolph Co. Mo. in 1829 thence to the west side of the Chariton River in macon Co. in 1844, where he lived until a few years ago, when he moved to College Mound.

At the age of 18 he became a member of the C.P. Church and for many years was a member of the A.F. & A.M. Society. Whilst living west of the Chariton, he served 13 or 14 years as a member of the County Court.

He was married first to Miss Sarah Smith in Tennessee, and last to Miss Nancy Perrin, in Missouri.

He is father of 13 children by his first and 7 by his last wife---five girls and 15 boys--11 of whom are living. This is the only family by the name Lingo known to them.

His father came across the ocean, an orphan and raised the one boy S.S. Lingo.

He leaves a large family and a multitude of warm friends who regarded him in every way a true Christian, a firm citizen, for that which is right both as a neighbor and as a servant of his country, all to mourn his loss.

His remains was placed by the Masonic order in the old family cemetery near New Cambria.
