Research Notes:

A biosketch reports [14]:

Dr. Samuel Meals, son of Daniel and Catherine (Studabaker) Meals, was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania. As a young man he began to study medicine in the office of Dr. Joseph Eggert, of Butler county, Pennsylvania, and subsequently he attended a course of lectures in the Western Reserve University at Cleveland. He initiated the active practice of his profession in Butler county, Pennsylvania, where he resided until August, 1859, when he removed to Callensburg, where he maintained his home and office until death called him, October 8, 1884. He controlled a large and lucrative patronage in Callensburg and the country normally adjacent thereto, and in connection with the work of his profession was a valued and appreciative member of the Clarion County Medical Society and the Pennsylvania State Medical Society. He wrote a great amount of valuable medical literature, none of which was ever published, but which is a great help to his son in his research work. In his political convictions he was a stalwart Republican, and he and his wife were devout members of the Presbyterian church. Dr. Samuel Meals married Hannah, daughter of William and Elizabeth Emery, who were natives of Newcastle, Pennsylvania, whence they removed to Butler county about 1832.
