Military Accomplishments
He was wounded on June 16, 1864 in the right shoulder at Petersburg.[1] His injury required that he turn over command to First Lt. Henry Knickerbocker however just a few minutes later he was shot in the shoulder and command was turned over to Second Lt Rowland Norton.[1] During his convalescence, he was appointed by Secretary Stanton in charge of defenses for Washington DC.[15] On August 25, 1864, he led the 7th HA Regt at Ream's Station under Major General Winfield Scott Hancock.[16] On Dec 31, 1864, he lead the 7th HA Regt at Petersburg and Richmond under General Grant.[16] In 1865 he mustered out with his regiment.[15]
After the war, Major Anable presented two flags from the 7th Heavy Artillery Regiment to New York State, which today are at the NY State Military Museum in Saratoga.[17]
Life
In 1850 Samuel L. Anable was living in Westerlo and working as a farmer. Also living with the family was a Rhoda J. Holmes age 70 who was born in Connecticut and another woman named Holmes age 60 who was born in NY.[5] Three years later on October 27, 1853 the Democratic Senatorial Convention was held in Buffalo, NY and Samuel L. Anable of Westerlo was nominated by the Albany and Schenectady district for Senator.[18]
In 1860 while still living in Westerlo and working as a farmer, Samuel was living with his growing family and the two women named Holmes.[6] In 1860 Samuel valued his real estate at $6500.00 and personal property at $300.[6]
After returning from the war, Samuel was appointed by Grant as the pension agent for the state of Virginia. This resulted in the family's move to Fairfield, Va which was just outside Richmond. There Samuel continued to also work as a farmer.[8][9]
By 1900 Samuel, his wife and several of his children had relocated to Chicago, Illinois wehre they lived at 1844 Briar Place in Ward 25. Samuel initially worked in the real estate field.[19] In the 1900 US Census, Samuel was 78 years of age, had no occupation and rented his house. Living with Samuel and Sarah were their single children, Wm, Sarah and Courtland, all of whom had jobs outside the home.[20] Samuel and Sarah lived into their early 90s and their living arrangements were much the same in the 1910 US Census.[21]
Death
Samuel Low Anable lived a very long life and died July 29, 1913[2] at Chicago, IL[22]. His wife Sarah lived until March 9, 1916.[4]
