Samuel Johnson

Samuel is an earnest young man who struggles with shyness in an attempt to become a better Christian. He frequents many different churches, is chaplain of the local Sons of Temperance and secretary for the Union Sabbath School. Notice how he dutifully and fully records his work on the family farm and that of his father and their various hired men. As an eligible bachelor, he gets invited to many social events in Goodwood and the larger community.
