From Tim Hopkins, Oct 1999:
"Mom talked about how her father loved to bird hunt. He had several bird dogs and she, Rose, loved playing with them. Dillard owned one of the first automobiles in town and Rose occasionally rode with him when he went on medical house calls...quite a thrill for a little girl."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Iris Sanwell (Samuell), Sep 2009:
"Grandmother Rosa (Jellenik) Marx bought Dillard's medical practice for him in about 1907. When Dillard died shortly after the birth of Iris, Rosa opened her house to Gussie and her children. Grandmother had considerable wealth. Uncle Paul (Henry Paul Samuell, a judge on the IL Supreme Court) helped Rosa invest her money but the investments were not good ones."
-------------------
From Iris Sanwell, Sep 2010:
Dillard got a late start as a doctor. He was 28 when he went off to Medical School. Before that he managed one of the farms owned by his father in the Kilbourne area of Illinois. When he decided to go into medicine he told his wife, Anna, that they would have to move to Chicago where the school was located. However, Anna decided she and their daugter would remain where they were and moved in with her parents. In due time Dillard received a letter in which Anna wrote that she had fallen in love with a Carpenter and asked that he grant her a divorce. He agreed to her request. Iris recalls that her mother, Gussie (Dillard's second wife) had a good relationship with a Anna and corresponded with Anna for many years after Dillard's death. Dillard met Gussie Marx in Chicago. Iris says that Gussie was a prize dancer - she especially loved walzes. Gussie had a earlier boyfriend that eventually turned out to be one of Chicago's biggest contractors. Gussie's mother, Rosa, liked Dillard but had reservations because he was a "divorced man". Dispite Dillard's father, Hickman Samuel, funding the law school education of Dillard's brother Paul, Dillard did not receive any assistence. So, Dillard put himself through medical school by being a street car driver. Dillard married Gussie Marx and moved to Braidwood to set up his medical practice.

Biography of “DR SAMMUELL, ONE-TIME WILMINGTON PHYSICIAN SURGEON, published in Wilmington newspaper, abt 1965
Dr. Sammuell, a medical doctor in Willington and a member of the First Presbyterian Church, passed away in 1918 or 1919. His office and home was located in what is now known as the Mrs Henry Merkel, Sr residence on North Main Street.
Prior to comming to Wilmington, Dr. Sammuell had an office in Braidwood. Dr. Hood left Wilmington and Dr. Sammuell purchased the property mentioned above. The couple had three daughters, Rose (Mrs Tom Hopkins), a graduate of the University of Illinois with a master’s degree. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins had two children, a son and a daughter. Rose is a widow and keeps busy as a broker and teaching school. Gail [Dale] received a scholarship and graduated from the University of Illinois with a master’s degree. She was a five point student, received the bronze tablet, is married to Lewis Wallace [Bodine]; they have two daughters and reside in California, as does Rose.
Iris was only three days old when her father passed away. She was interested in a business education and art, resides in Woodstock, Illinois and has a responsible position in advertising.
Dr. Sammuell took sick suddenly, entered a Chicago hospital and died within a matter of hours. Mrs. Sammuell and the children returned to Chicago, where they made their home with her mother, Mrs. Marks, and Mrs. Sammuell’s brother.
As the children matured and were ready for college, Mrs. Sammuell accompanied them to Champaign and became a housemother. After Rose and Gail [Dale] married and lived in California, Mrs. Samuell made her home with all her daughters, depending on the season. Three years ago, she passed away at the home of her a daughter Rose. Services were held in California and in Chicago. She was laid to rest beside her husband, who had preceded her in death.
Dr. Sammuells and his family were held in high esteem in Wilmington, and at the time of the doctor’s demise, a photograph with a printed poem, contributed by Alex Skinner Sr. (who soon passed away with pneumonia), was given to the members of the Wesley Gun Club, of which he was a member.
The above picture was supplied by Postmaster Ray Smith’s father, Herman Smith, Sr. The detail of this article was received from Rose Hazzard and Mrs. Frank (Florence) Riley, who have been close friends and visited them often in California. Lester Stahl, then a youngster, also remembers Dr. Samuell very well, as at the time of the doctor’s demise, he was a patient of his, suffering from a broken arm.
