According to a biography of his daughter, Mary, Samuel founded the Third Christian Church in Indianapolis before serving in a pastorate in Wabash where his health failed. He moved his family to the farm where his daughter was born. When Mary Tomlinson was three, the family moved back to Indianapolis, and her father became pastor of the Hillside Christian Church. Four years later her father was called to Goshen and then to Elkhart. In the early 1900s he took a church in Shelby County, and the family settled near Fairland, where Mary Tomlinson attended school.
