Samuel K. Huson, M.D., was a homeopathic physician, as was his father, Richard before him. In 1848, this notice was published in "The North American Journal of Homeopathy, Volume 3." "New Homoeopathic Society. We have received from Dr. Huson the following notice of the formation of a new society for the propagation of Homoeopathy in the State of New York. We trust they will do efficient service in the cause and would only suggest whether a little less comprehensive title would not be better suited to the purposes of an association professedly local."

"The Homoeopathic Physicians of Yates Ontario Steuben and neighboring counties organized on the 1st of January instant a Society under the Act of 1848 for mutual protection and the advancement of medical science. The title of the Institution is The Homoeopathic Medical Academy of the Slate of New York: George W Maun, MD, Jerusalem, NY, President. Richard Huson, MD, Dundee, NY, Vice President. O. E. Noble, MD, Penn Yan, NY, Treasurer. Samuel K Huson, MD, Dundee, NY, Secretary. The first annual meeting was held at Penn Yan on the first Wednesday of January instant. The quarterly meetings will be held as follows: On the first Wednesday of April at Rochester, first Wednesday of July at Elmira, and first Wednesday of October at Seneca Falls."

Per the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, Samuel, age 32, was living in Lawrence, KS, with his wife Polly Ann Huson, age 30, and daughter Adella Huson, age 8. All were born in New York. In 1862, Samuel served a one year term as the mayor of Lawrence. Samuel was one of the charter members of the Masonic Lodge, Lawrence Chapter, No. 4, R. A. M., which was chartered by the Grand Chapter of Kansas, October 18, 1866. He was a member of a corporation that established a weekly newspaper, "The Standard, Democratic," September 18, 1870; which was sold in October, 1871.

After Samuel and his father Richard, and their families, moved to Kansas, they organized "The Homeopathic Medical Society of the State of Kansas" in Leavenworth, April 14, 1869. Richard served as President 1869-1870. The society was chartered in 1871, and Samuel served as President 1871-1872.

This newspaper report of his death was printed in the "Yates County Chronicle," Pen Yan, New York, January 28, 1875: "From the Dundee Record we learn that Dr. Samuel K. Huson, formerly of Dundee and for many years a citizen of Lawrence, Kansas, died in the latter place on the 2nd inst., at the age of 46 years….His wife was a sister of James Spicer, Esq., of Dundee, and she survives him with two children."
