Samuel Moody Grubbs WAS born not long after his parents moved to Illinois from Kentucky, being the youngest of ten children and the only one born in Illinois. When he was only two years of age his father died, leaving his mother with a family of children to care for alone; so Samuel Moody Grubbs, after receiving his education at Hillsboro, began at an early age to make his own way in the world. His first position was with the mercantile business of the Hon. William Brewer.
He boarded at the home of his employer, whose daughter Mary he afterward married.
In 1856 he went to Litchfield, Ill., a few miles from Hillsboro, and took a position in the store of McWilliams and Paden, but returned to Hillsboro within a few months and there entered the drug and mercantile business. In 1865 he again went to Litchfield, which from that time on was his permanent home. He became a member of the firm of Brewer, Seymour and Co., bankers. The firm later became Brewer and Grubbs; then S. M. Grubbs and Co.; and in Jan., 1889, was organized as the First. National Bank of Litchfield. Mr. Grubbs was the president of this bank until 1914, when he retired from active business.
Politically he was always an active and ardent Republican. He was elected mayor of Litchfield in 1874 and served two terms as city treasurer. He was a generous and public-spirited citizen; was connected with every movement to promote the welfare of his community; and was actively identified with the growth and development of the town. For nearly fifty years he was an untiring and devoted worker in the Methodist Church of Litchfield, maintaining an active interest in church work up to the time of his death. Possessing an unusual charm of personality and beauty of character, he was adored by his family, loved by his friends, and respected and admired by all others who knew him.
