When he was thirty-one, Sam married widow Willie Barnett and took on a ready-made family of three children. The first ten years of their marriage would bring five more children.
Sam worked hard to provide for his family. A short, quiet man, his devout Baptist faith clashed with his wife's Pentecostal beliefs.
At the age of seventy-two, Sam suffered a heart attack and died. Rest in peace, Papaw.
