Biography
Samuel B. Holabird was born in 1826 and devoted decades of his life to public service, managing logistics and resources for the military during times of both strife and calm. His organizational skills and steady temperament earned him trust from commanders and civilians alike as he worked to ensure men in uniform were supplied and supported.
