SAMUEL M. PRUGH, London, Auditor of Madison County, was born in Union Township, January 15, 1854. His grandparents, George and Margaret Prugh, were natives of Maryland, and came to Ohio when their son, Samuel Prugh, the father of our subject, was but a year old. They located in Somerford Township, where Samuel was reared and educated. He has been a farmer all through life, and moderately successful. He married Nancy Bradley, a native of Greene County, Ohio. Of the thirteen children given them eleven are living, all being of age, and nearly all married. Our subject was the eleventh child and fifth son of this large family, grew up on the farm, and received a fair education. When eighteen years of age, he commenced teaching school, following this profession at intervals for a period of eight years. During this time he also engaged in the book and music trade, with a brother, at Springfield, Clark County, Ohio, and subsequently attended the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware. In 1875, he again engaged in business at Springfield, where he remained two years. On August 4, 1877, he married Mary F. Yeazell, a native of Clark County, Ohio. After marriage, he once more engaged in teaching, and continued the same until the summer of 1880, when he accepted a position on the editorial staff of the London Enterprise. On October 12, of the same year, he was elected to his present position, for a term of three years. Mr. Prugh is a stanch Republican. Himself and wife have one child, Earl E., a bright little son of three years of age.
