They lived on a farm outside the town until 1890 when they moved into a house in the Academy addition of Winchester. The house was situated on lots 1,2 and 3 section A, which is now the corner lots of Rice and 4th streets in Winchester. They lived in this house until their deaths. The original house does not remain.

      They were well liked in town as evidence from the obituary columns of Julia: "Remembrance will long dwell in the hearts of all who have spent happy hours in their circle, for the home of "Uncle Sam" and "Aunt Julia" was one of unbounded hospitality.

At the time of his death, Samuel had $557.80 in the Winchester bank and $5.00 on hand. The sale of his personal property (not including the house) was $567.29.

Julia fell ill in the 1860's, but bore it with great fortitude, according to her obituary. Beginning in the early 1900's, she was afflicted with a heart disease making her feeble. But all this was borne patiently looking for "that city without foundation whose builder and maker is God." Julia was struck with paralysis on December 24, 1906 at 6:30 PM, while preparing a chicken for Christmas dinner.
