 | | Samuel A. Weller was born in 1851, the seventh child of an Ohio farming family. |
 | | Sam Weller noticed Lonhuda Ware at the 1893 Chicago Exposition, and acquired an interest in Long's company. |
 | | Sam Weller died in 1925, but his company, buoyed by Hudson, the embossed ware, the figurals of Rudolph Lorber and Dorothy England Laughead, and by talented Zanesville artists including Mae and Sarah Timberlake, Hester Pillsbury, Claude Lefler, Sarah McLaughlin, Ruth Axline and others, flourished through the 1920s and 1930s. |
