From Hanson Genealogy Records, 1988:
"Hickman taught school in Walker's Grove at Eastmon. Moved to Mason City where he leased a livery stable. He was a good business man. Taught Sunday school in Church and conducted funerals when necessary. Was on the road as a salesman of a manufacturing concern. Also ran a mercantile business, mostly groceries (from Ida Samuell Daley notes).
The Samuells lived and farmed in Mason County but, later, ranched in Montana. Because of their proximity, Paul and Cordie Colbert called them Grandpa and Grandma Samuell (great uncle & aunt). In their later years, they returned to Havana, Ilinois. and lived at 401 N. Orange St. Aunt Sarah, like the other Estep women, was a very nice person and a great favorite of the children."

Stories Martin Hanson heard from his grandfather, A. Frank Crum - Recorded by Alma Hanson and her son, Martin, 1997:
Tobacco Chewing --- Hickman Samuell, who married Sarah Estep, was a nephew of Jimmy and son of Henry, and had similar traits. On one trip in an automobile, he was driving with his wife. Ruth Colbert in the back seat. He was chewing tobacco and when he spit tobacco juice out of the open car, it naturally reentered the rear seat area. Aunt Sarah, his wife, complained and received in return, " Now, Sarah, you know that when I drive I have to chew and when I chew I have to spit. If you are................................... text missing......
....text missing...............Hickman vented the old brand by crossing it out with a branding iron. As he prepared to apply the new brand, Earl told him that the iron was upside down. To check on this, it was common practice to brand a fence board but not this time. "I've been using this branding iron for years and I know how it goes." He branded the bull, untied him and let him up in the corral, then he said, "You know, that brand is upside down". So, they roped the bull, vent the brand they had just applied, re-brand him, and let him up. By this time, the bull looked like a bulletin board.

From "Kilbourne, Yesterday and Today", published by The Kilbourne Centenial Association, 1970:
p.30: The Kilbourne Baptist Church was organized in March 1895. The first deacons were J B Conover, D W Parker, Hickman B Samuell, and Joesph Zirkle.
p.88: Hickman B Samuell lived in a large house in the country about one-fourth mile south of the Kilbourne Baptist Church. Hickman, later became a Mason County Circuit Clerk and his son, Paul, attended the school where Jo Ann Schoonover now lives and grew up to become Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court in 1930. This house burned and the Samuell family temporarily moved into what had been John Schyler's Harness Shop which stood on property now owned by Charles Pratt.

A dedication card to Hickman B Samuell (printed in 1899) with his picture on it reads:
"Mr. Samuell was born three miles west of Kilbourne on a farm, in Mason County, Illinois, August 26, 1853. There with his parents he spent his boyhood days. He attended school about two to three months each winter. At the age of 16 he entered Normal School, and was there one year. When 18 years of age he taught his first school, six miles south of Havana. He followed that occupation for eighteen winters, missing but one during that time. During the summers he was engaged in farming.
In 1890 he was nominated by the Republicans for County Clerk. He was defeated. In 1894 he was again nominated for the same office. He made a hard struggle, but was defeated by seventeen votes. He then went on with his farming. In 1896 he was nominated for Circuit Clerk, and elected by majority of fourteen. To this date he has served three years, three months. He has a pleasant, genial disposition, and by his obliging and prompt method in doing business he has won the confidence of the people of Mason. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, Royal Neighbors, and Knights of Pythias."

From A History of Montana by Helen Fitzgerald Sanders, Chicago, Lewis Co., 1913:
H. B. Samuell, is a native son of the state of Illinois. After living in that state nearly all his life, his son Henry Paul Samuell's eloquent praise of Montana so impressed him that he himself came to Montana in 1911. [After ranching in Montana for a while, they returned to Havana, Illinois.] This highly respected gentleman and his wife are now prominent residents of Wheaton, Illinois in the vicinity of which he has extensive ranching interests. Mr. Samuell, the elder, was for many years an agriculturist, but in 1894 abandoned that industry and engaged in the mercantile field until 1896. In that year he was elected circuit clerk of Mason county and held that office until 1900, when he was appointed by Governor Yates chief clerk and assistant superintendent of the Illinois School for the Deaf at Jacksonville. After a year he was transferred to the Illinois Central Hospital for the Insane, where he acted as assistant superintendent and at the same time was a member of the personal staff of the governor. In 1911 he retired and came to Montana. He was married in Illinois, the maiden name of his wife having been Sarah A. Estep. [ ], Inserted by TRH

Telephone conversation between Cordie Colbert Laffoon and Tim Hopkins, June 28 1995:
"The Illinois relatives went to Montana to claim land (homestead). Uncle Fred and Blanche Samuell Kesson, Ruth Crum and Dillard Samuell all visited there. Grandfather Hickman lived on an ranch on Montana. Cordie called them "Grandmother" and "Grandfather". Cordie and family lived on an adjoining ranch. When they visited Hickman and Sarah, she remembers that they always had pecan nuts - which she really liked. On the Estep girls, Sarah, Cordie, Carrie, etc, they were all good mothers and family group managers. Good seamstresses, too. Hickman was a talker. Told a good story and stretched the truth a bit. He told of being a drummer boy in the war.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRH Note, Jan 2016. Summing up the last years of H B Samuell:
Records show that Hickman returned to Montana after the death of his wife, Sarah. Two years later in 1831 and at the age of 78 he married widow Rose Lohman in Roundup, Musselshell, MT and remained there (in her care?) until his death in 1941. His remains are buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Havana, Mason, IL. It is believed, but not conclusively proven, that Hickman's Rose Lohman is the Rosa(Rose) Brister who m1 John Conrad Lohman in Park Co., Montana,1894 and had two children: Chester L and Earl Charles Lohman. After John's death in 1911 she m2 John L(C) Dore in 1919 in Kooterai, Idaho. They were residing in Roundup, Musselshell, MT in 1920. In 1930 Rose has divorced Dore and lives alone 2nd St West in Roundup with the occupation of care taker in a private home. Assuming that these two Rose Lohmans are the same person, it is speculated that Hickman returned to Roundup, Montana between 1930 and 1931, perhaps to visit a relative, met Rose and married. The fate of Rose (wid Lohman) Samuel after Hickman's death is not known.
