Tuesday, October 3, 2023 – Dick Oertel “The Name Sample Keeps Popping Up” is a retired P&G chemist, amateur local historian and Butler County resident for 54 years. This presentation will report on several areas of local historical research covering the period from about 1820 to 1930. Although
the work involves a number of well-known families, one name alone––Sample––repeatedly appears.
Included will be some delightful recollections of life in Reily village around 1900 from a longtime Sample Road resident, and some findings regarding an intriguing set of 1908 camp photos that were donated recently to Reily’s Hammond House Museum by a Sample family descendant.
