Samuel left the family farm in Vermont at age 19 and went to Taunton, Massachusetts, where he became a male nurse at Taunton State Hospital. Ida was the Supervisor of Nurses there. After their marriage, they moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, and shortly thereafter (before 1918) settled in Swampscott (an adjoining town). There, he worked as a motorman for the Eastern Mass State Transit Company. He was the last man to drive a working trolley car in Lynn, retiring at age 63. For several years thereafter, he worked as a street patrolperson at school crosswalks.
At some point, Samuel and family moved to Wilmot Flat, Merrimack County, New Hampshire. He continued to work in Lynn during the week and went home on weekends.
Ida and the children moved back to Lynn when it came time for Samuel, Jr. to go to high school so that he could get a better education. They remained in Lynn for the rest of their lives.
