Mrs. P.C. Sams, 94, died at the home of her daughter in Lubbock after an illness of several weeks. Her body was brought back to Benjamin, her former home, where it was interred in the cemetery. A large crowd of people, including many old timers, attended the services.

Mrs. Sams moved to Texas with her husband in 1857 settling first in Springtown, Texas. The family moved to Baylor County in the late 1880s, settling in the Round Timber Community on the farm owned by Paul Brock. In 1896, the couple moved to Benjamin where they lived until her husband's death.

Mrs. Sams was a member of the First Christian Church at Benjamin. She and her husband were charter members and founded the church at Benjamin.

Mrs. Sams was one of the finest characters of the pioneer days. She had a good many friends still living in Knox County, who knew her in her younger and more active years, and all thought very highly of her.
