E. BULLOCK SAMUELS

     E. Bullock Samuels, county clerk of Hickman county, Kentucky, and
one of the leading citizens of Clinton, was born on a farm in Nelson
county, Kentucky, December 25, 1871.  He is a son of John G. and Clara
P. (Bullock) Samuels.  John G. Samuels was born in Nelson county,
Kentucky, and was there reared.  As he advanced in years and
prominence he occupied positions of trust, and was made sheriff of his
native county, serving two terms.  About 1875 he removed to Texas, and
was a merchant in Gainesville, Texas, until his death in 1879, when he
was about sixty years of age.  In politics he was a Democrat, and in
religious faith was a member of the Baptist church  His widow removed
to Columbus, Kentucky, and from there to Clinton in 1881, where she
now makes her home.  Three sons were born to these parents as follows:
E. Bullock; John G., of Bardwell, Kentucky; and Thomas D., deputy
county clerk at Clinton.
     E. Bullock Samuels became deputy county clerk under James L.
Moss, then county clerk, and served two terms amounting to four years.
He was elected to his present office in 1897, and re-elected in 1901,
upon the Democratic ticket.  Fraternally Mr. Samuels is a member of
the Knights of Pythias and Masonic fraternities, and he is a very
popular young man and prominent in party affairs.  He comes of old and
established families on both sides, his mother having been a daughter
of the late Judge E.I. Bullock, who was so prominent a figure in
Hickman county for so many years.
