The services will be conducted by Rev. John F. Damon.
Samuel Denny was born in Washington county, Indiana, October 30, 1816, coming with his family to Oregon, removing to Seattle in 1876, where he has since resided.

He leaves three sons and two daughters, who, with their direct descendants for three generations, number forty-nine living heirs on the shores of Puget Sound.

Samuel was a cabinet maker. His uncle John Denny,
had gone to Oregon and taken a Donation, land claim of 320 acres in Marion County.
This induced Samuel to immigrate to the Pacific Northwest. His wife Lucy refused to go unless the whole family was included.
Samuel was wealthy for the times, having many holdings in
Indiana. He sold out and they went with the party of 16 people on the ill-fated Arizona, a steamer that went by way of Panama. After crossing the Isthmus, they
boarded the Golden Age and arrived in San Francisco in April of 1866. They then boarded the Sierra Nevada for Portland,OR. Samuel paid $16,100 for the trip,which was a consideral sum. They stayed in Albany,OR with their relatives, and three years later, left for Seattle in a
Conestoga Wagon, arriving in April 1869.
They settled permanently on lands in the forest outside the small town, but later found themselves living in the heart of Seattle.
Samuel was an Elder in the Methodist Church.
