From a letter from Maude to daughter Ruth:

"Christian Bobst's parents came with the Wm. Penn Dutch to N.Y. then to Ohio.  Some day
I will find a history that I have misplaced that will tell you a lot of early history.  I rather imagine
your g gr mother Bobst was in some way related to Bok of Ladies Home Journal.  I can't remember a lot of early history but your ancestors were not to be sneezed at on either side.  Several warriers, etc.  Your
great uncle Sam was a Civil War vet.  My mother lost two brothers in wars. Love, MOTHER"

Ruth would have been the great-grand-daughter of one of Samuel's sisters.
