Sam William
Loftin was the tenth child, out of fourteen, born to
Alonzo Lester
Loftin and
Ida Lillian Setzer. |

& Ida Lillian Setzer Loftin |
Alonzo married Ida after the death of his
first wife, Cornelia, from pneumonia. Cornelia left Alonzo
with five children - Nannie, Roy, Lillie, Floye and Verdie Lee.
Sam was born May 13, 1918. According to birth records, Sam
wasn’t immediately named like most of his brothers and sisters
were. Dr. Fred Long was the Doctor that "delivered" him
at the family home. |

|
This Birth Index incorrectly
lists (Boy) Loftin's birth date as "5-22-18" instead of
"5-13-18" |
|
|
|
The family apparently didn't name Sam
immediately. The "Index To Vital Statistics, Catawba
County, NC - Births" shows that his birth was registered on
5-22-18 and his name listed as "Loftin, (Boy)". Most
records concerning Sam have his name listed as "Sam William
Loftin", but I (Curtis D. Loftin, Sam's son) seem to remember
seeing his name listed as "Samuel" somewhere when I was growing
up. I asked my Mother (Willie Aleen Goble Loftin) about
Sam's name and she said she couldn't remember it ever being
anything but "Sam". The only public document that I've
found with his name listed as "Samuel" is the 1930 Census. |
|
|
Sam’s siblings from Alonzo’s marriage to Ida
were Charlie, Theodore (Speedo), Sadie, twins Thelma & Elma,
Allie, twins Daisy Pearl & Daniel, Mike, Oscar, Frances and two
other infant sons who died at birth. |
|
|
|
According to the 1920 Catawba County Census,
Alonzo owned and operated a store in the town of Catawba.
Willie Goble Loftin said the store sold fertilizer and livestock
feed, as well as eggs and groceries. Sam's age on the 1920
Census was 1 year and 3 months old. |

According to
Willie Loftin (Sam's wife), the Loftins owned
three
stores in Catawba. Roy Loftin, Sam’s half-brother, owned
two,
and Alonzo owned the one. Alonzo's store sold feed &
fertilizer, as well as eggs and groceries, and was located about
mid-way up South Main Street in Catawba - the current location
of the billiards room, next to the Catawba Tavern. |

With the Great Depression of 1929, that
lasted most of the 1930s, Alonzo and his family went through
some hardships. When the Depression came, many people couldn't
pay Alonzo the money they owed him at the feed and fertilizer
store. He refused to declare bankruptcy, saying "he still owed
his creditors, and he would pay them." He lost most of his
wealth as a result. |
|
|
|
According to the 1930 Catawba County Census, Alonzo's family was
living on the Sherrills Ford Road in Catawba County.
Living with Alonzo and Ida were their children Thelma, Elma,
Allie, Daisy Pearl, Make, Sam, Os and Frances. |

Alonzo died in 1937 when Sam was eighteen
years old,
leaving Sam on his own. There were 3 children living in
the family home with Alonzo's wife, Ida: Sam and his younger
siblings Os and Frances. |
|
|
Family stories are always interesting. According to Willie
(Sam's wife), about the time of Alonzo's death, rumor surfaced
that Sam and Os had killed Louise Miller and had thrown her body
in the old Gold Mine. Willie, who was seven years younger
than Sam (and long before she knew him), was afraid to walk by
the Gold Mine with her siblings. She laughed and said that
they were afraid that Sam and Os would kill then throw them in
the Gold Mine, too. |
|
Willie said that Sam later told her that he and Louise Miller
had indeed argued at the Gold Mine and that he had slapped her.
When he did, she fell backward and rolled down the embankment
and almost did fall into the Gold Mine but was caught by a small
tree growing on the side of the embankment. Fortunately,
he was able to pull her out without her being harmed. |

In 1940, at the age of 22,
Sam was involved in
the Civilian Conservation Corps. |
|
|
The CCC
was created in 1933 “for the relief of unemployment through the
performance of useful public work, and for other purposes.” One
of the most successful New Deal programs of the Great
Depression, it existed less than ten years, but left a legacy of
strong, handsome roads, bridges, and buildings throughout the
United States.
The
4,000 temporary and permanent camps scattered across the nation
were run military-style by the War Department, though the
recruits carried picks and shovels rather than rifles. The
earliest enrollees wore surplus uniforms from World War I. The
CCC boys worked 40 hours a week and had their evenings and
weekends free. Each camp had a recreation building, education
building and infirmary. The men lived in barracks and ate in a
mess hall.
Sam was trained as a cook, and gained the distinction of First
Cook, from the School of Bakers & Cooks in Winnsboro, South
Carolina.
|
|
|
|
After his time in the School for Bakers and
Cooks, Sam returned home and worked in his brother Speedo’s
store. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Willie, Sam was very
good-looking when he was young and very popular with the girls.
Even Willie’s sister, Lib, wanted to date him.
|
|
|
When asked how she first met Sam, Willie said
she had gone to Speedo’s store (just down the road from where
the Martin Goble family lived on Alley Rd.) to buy some candy
and Sam was working there. Speed's first store was at the
intersection of Sherrills Ford, Bandy's Cross Roads & Mathis
Chapel Church Rd. She said, “He gave me a LOT of
candy for the money. He told a neighbor, Ms. Trimm, that he was
“gonna date that girl, Willie” … that she was pretty. Willie
always said Sam was the best looking man she had ever met. |

The 1940 Census reveals some additional information about
Alonzo & Ida's family. Alonzo had died in 1937, but the
family continued to live in their home in Catawba County and the
home was "Owned" and valued at $500. Ida's age was 55, Sam
was 21, Oscar (Os) was 19, and Frances was 13. |
|
The highest level of education completed by Sam was H1 - the 1st
year of High School. |
|
The 1940 Census also shows employment information for Sam for
1939 and 1940. In 1939, Sam had worked 26 weeks - earning
$351 - indicating that he probably made about $2.70 per day.
The census shows that for the week of March 24 - 30 of 1940, Sam
had worked 40 hours as a "Knitter" at a "Hosiery Mill".
This was more than likely Elliott Knitting where Thelma, Elma
and Allie had been working (according to the 1930 Census) as
"Knitters". |

Sam married
Willie Aleen Goble on March 21, 1942. Sam was 23 and
Willie was 16. Both lied about their age, Sam saying he
was 24 and Willie 18. |

Most of Alonzo & Ida’s children lived in the
little two-room house on the corner of E. Bandys Rd and
Sherrills Ford Rd when they were first married - including Sam
and Willie. They were very poor when they first got married,
but Sam did buy Willie a bedroom suite for the little two-room
house. He built the table for the kitchen, and bought a used
wood stove and cabinet for the dishes. |

Like many of the other young men in his day,
when WWII broke out, Sam left Willie at his sister Allie’s house
and went to enlist. During his physical exam, however, it was
discovered that he had a hernia and he was turned down.
Eventually Sam would buy 40 acres of property
on Dexter Path, just off of Shiloh Church Rd. from Fred Gibson’s
father. Sam purchased the property, then cut and sold the
timber there to pay for the property. Sam had started working
at Russ Campbell’s sawmill. He used Russ’ horses to pull the
logs that he had cut off of the property. He also used some of
the timber to build a house for him & Willie. |

During their marriage, Sam built Willie three
new homes - each one a little nicer. The first was on Dexter
Path, just off Shiloh Church Rd, the second on E. Bandys Rd, and
the last on Hwy. 10 one mile from the town of Catawba. Sam also
originally owned Sugar Farm in the Bandy's High School area
(about 35 acres) before selling it to Lloyal Deal. |

During Sam’s life, he was involved in a number of trades. He
worked at…a sawmill…and trained as a cook. |
Sam owned and ran ...
...a beer-joint
…a grocery store
...a café & restaurant
...a jewelry store
...a dry cleaners
...a tire-recapping business
...a clothing store. |

Sam owned a beer joint at the same time as Speedo and Mike. He
even sold boot-leg whiskey for his brother, Mike, from the
2-room house and also at the beer joint. For a season Sam had
slot-machines in the beer joint that belonged to Boots Cabin who
had the local authorities in his back pocket. Eventually Sam
got his own slot-machines, and when Boots would leave Sam’s beer
joint with his earnings, Sam would put away Boots’ machines and
put out his own. |

Sam felt “the call” and was a preacher for several years. After
attending Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute in Henderson, NC,
Sam preached in several small churches, but mainly in homes in
the mid-1950s. Average attendance was around 30 – 40. |

I remember having meetings in our home on Hwy 10 in Catawba when
I was a very small child (3 to 5 years-old). Sam even built
some slatted benches that were moved into the family den to
accommodate the crowd when there were home meetings. |
|
Sam also preached in the homes of some of the families
associated with Mathis Chapel - including Fred & Emma Mathis
(for whom the church was named), Martin & Zanie Abernathy, as
well as Floyd & Dorothy Kirksey. |

Rev. Tommy Taylor encouraged Sam with his preaching, but there
were those at Mathis Chapel who became jealous of the crowd that
Sam was having at his meetings, and he was asked to stop his
preaching in homes. So he did. |

Sam eventually built a block building beside of his home on Hwy.
10 and established Loftin’s Tire Service in the building. Ralph
Dwiggins, who ran a local used-car lot, was a silent partner. |

Sam sold new and re-capped tires. He’d take the tires off of
the cars, use the grinder to grind off the surface of the tire,
spray adhesive glue on the surface, and apply some new rubber
from a large roll. The tires would be placed in a mold and
baked for a period of time and eventually a “practically new”
tire was produced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sam stayed in this business for a long period of time, but as he
got older he looked for an easier line of work. He purchased 10
acres on Hot Rot Rd, about a mile from his home on Hwy. 10 with
plans to build a rest home for the elderly. He had a well
bored, building blueprints drawn up, basement dug, and
foundation laid. He and Willie had begun purchasing supplies
they planned to use in the rest home, when he discovered the
property had an unknown second mortgage. Sam paid off the
second mortgage, but became discouraged about the entire
building process. Eventually the foundation was pushed into the
basement, and he used the property to raise cattle, pigs, horses
and ponies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sam eventually converted the Loftin’s Tire Service building into
a clothing outlet. He built tables and purchased supplies to
make the business successful. He sold men & boys’ suits,
women’s dresses, blouses, skirts, shoes and many other clothing
items. |
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
Sam loved campmeeting. His family had roots at the Balls Creek
Campground. Because of the size of Alonzo’s family, they
actually had to have two tents for the entire family. The
original family tents were located at 69 & 70, the same tent
used later by Sam’s sister, Frances Cook & her husband, Alvin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sam & Willie built a tent on the side of the campground close to
the "Shack" when they were first married but eventually sold it.
In the 1960s, Sam built a tent for his family on the last row -
tent number 298. His brother, Os, built the tent next door,
297.

During the later part of his life, Sam was frequently ill.
Willie quit her job at Betterware Hosiery to stay home with him
and even learned to drive when she was in her 50s in order to
drive him to the Doctor and hospital. Sam suffered from
emphysema as a result of many years of smoking cigarettes, and
had urinary bladder cancer in 1977.
Sam died on September 18, 1979. Cause of death was
listed as “cardio respiratory failure” - a term which is used to
describe the cause of death when no specific cause is known. |
