Obituary | Obit., Times-Picayune, 18 Nov. 1884, "Death of Dr. Samuel H. Bemiss." This is long, an article. The obituary describes him as being born in Nelson Co., Kentucky, of "sturdy Massachusetts Presbyterian stock." He was a big deal in New Orleans because he was a key investigator of the 1879 yellow fever epidemic, and is quoted in reports about the disease after this.
