Samuel, a farmer by occupation, came with his family to Washington County, Iowa about 1852.
He enlisted in Company "G", 22nd Iowa Infantry, on 9 August 1862, along with his first cousin John A. Marling, brother-in-law Milton Lingo, and two of Milton's brothers. His right elbow was badly injured while he was charging a Confederate defensive position at Vicksburg on 22 May 1863. Samuel was not fit for combat operations thereafter, though he performed light duty with the regiment when not hospitalized, or when recruiting in Iowa. His brother John Q. Marling died in October 1862 after serving in the 10th Iowa Infantry.
Samuel married Susan M. Miller in Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa on 7 February 1866. They had at least five children: William E., Rosa, Myrtle Sarah (also appears as Sarah Myrtle), George Oliver (1883-1957), and an unnamed infant.
In 1882, after trying for four years, he received a pension based on the wartime injury that had greatly limited his physical activity. He moved to Nebraska several years before his death, where he worked as a plasterer.
