IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY GRAND-PARENTS Samuel Dare with his wife, Henrietta and baby, Pauline Henrietta, photo taken 1896 Edward Stephen Still and his wife Charlotte S. Magilton. photos taken 1892. SAMUEL DARE. Among the well-known citizens of Selden is numbered the subject of this sketch. He was bom in the town in which he resides Oct. 7, 1847, and is the son of Charles William F. and Mary Aim (Hall) Dare, the former of whom was born in Lancashire, England. Our subject was one of twelve children. As a boy he attended the district schools but had a limited opportunity for acquiring an education. The tocsin of war sounded when young Samuel was still a boy, but he answered his country's call, enlisting at the age of sixteen and a-half years, in the One Hundred and Sixty-fifth New York Zouaves. He joined his regiment at Franklin, La. While in Banks' Red River Expedition, it was still two days less than two months after leaving home that he fell into the hands of the enemy and was incarcerated in the prison at Camp Ford, Texas. Three and a half months later, during which time he received some pretty rough treatment, he was paroled and exchanged, and a month later he joined Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. After that he was in active service until the close of The Civil War, and was mustered out at Ft. Sumter in the Fall of 1865. After the war Mr. Dare returned to his home, where he has since resided. He has one hundred acres of land which he devotes to truck gardening, making a specialty of strawberries, melons, tomatoes, sweet corn etc. Feb. 1, 1871, he was married to Miss Henrietta Wichs, daughter of Joel and Sarah Jane (Ruland) Wicks, old and worthy families of Suffolk County. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Dare has been ably blessed by the advent of nine children into the family, five of whom are still living, Fred, Laura Mae, Clarence E., John Logan, and Pauline H. --Mrs. Dare is a devoted member of The Methodist Church. Fraternally Mr. Dare is a member of Richard J. Clark Post 210, C.A.R. of Patchogue. In politics he is a stanch Republican and has abiding faith in the purity of the teachings of his party. He has served his fellow-citizens for several years as Trustee of The Town and is at the present time of writing, the efficient Chairman of that body. The foregoing was copied from PORTRAIT 8 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, with Biographies and Portraits of all the Presidents of The U. S. and Sketches of Prominent and representative citizens of Suffolk County. Chapman Publishing Co., 1896, New York and Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Dare later had one more daughter, Lucille Norma Dare (Hough). Mr. Dare died Feb. 6. 1913. Mrs. Dare died Nov. 24, 1937. EDWARD STEPHEN STILL, born February 22, 1863 in Coram was the son of Lorcn o Smith Still and Ann Maria Terry. His early days were spent in his parents home which still stands on the Coram-Port Jefferson Road. His Mother's ancestor, Brewster Terry, was one of the citizens of Coram who fought for the liberties of America in the War of The Revolution, and upon his death, Aug. 23, 1796 was buried on the Davis Homestead, Coram. Mr. Still married Charlotte Stuart Magilton, daughter of Charles R. S. Magilton and Ellen (Preston) Magilton, who was born on November 9, 1872 in Holbrook. Much of her childhood was spent in Greenport. Following the death of her Mother in 1884, Charlotte made her home with her grandmother in Holbrook. Here she attended district school and passed the examination to obtain a teacher's license. She was now sixteen and went to Coram to teach in District 14. She boarded with Miss Emma L. Norton, who was the local postmaster for many years. Here in the post office she met her future husband, Edward Stephen Still. After completing four years of teaching school they were married Nov. 15, 1893 and went to live on Ml. Sinai Road, Coram. The Stills had nine children, Eunice Marguerite (Jones), Wendell Shipman, Raymond Dewey, Evelyn (Russell), Robert Stuart, Marion, Mcnvin Smith, George Wilfred and Dorothy Magilton (Kempster.) Mrs. Still was a member of the Grange, and interested in community affairs. She was a member of the W.C.T.U., Coram Community Club and the Coram Methodist Church. She also served on The Board of School Dist- 14 in Coram, and passed away on June 17, 1937, at her home in Coram following an illness of several years. Her grandchildren remember her pleasant singing voice and spent many happy hours listening to the songs she learned in her childhood and teenage years, as well as the passages from various books and entire poems which she could recite. Mr. Still was a farmer and raised hay, grain and vegetables to last the family all year. He also raised pigs to sell and to eat. Mr. Still had been known to have three barrels of pork in the cellar come winter. He also raised leghorn chickens and was the second one in the area to hatch baby chicks in an incubator. If one wanted strawberries, asparagus or water melons Still's Farm was the place to go. His sons use to peddle the farm products with a horse and wagon in Port Jefferson. Mr. Still was a Trustee of The Town of Brookhaven. He died March 4, 1919. 160
