These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Was one of the early settlers of this township. He was a man of limited education, but possessed a large stock of good common sense, sterling integrity, and a perseverance that overcame all obstacles. His life, whilst it was one of labor and toil, and in the early years of his residence here, one of privations, was so good naturedly enjoyed by him, and so cheerfully did he meet all the hardships and disappoinments of pioneer life, that he was known amongst his neighbors as "Sunny Sampson." He became quite wealthy, and had a well improved ftirm and good buildings.
