In 1847, when Sam was 11, his father died. Shortly thereafter he left school, having completed the fifth grade, to work as a printer's apprentice for a local newspaper. His job was to arrange the type of each of the newspaper's stories, allowing Sam to read the news of the world while completing his work.
