Jacob Sample served as a mounted volunteer inthe 1st Regiment, 3rd Brigade, Illinois Militia during the Black Hawk War 1831-1832. While in service he lost his horse from a rattlesnake bite. In May of 1859 a tornado struck in Morgan County killing his mother, Mary (Polly) Townsend Sample Turner, and so severely injuring him that he died later.

Journal Courier, Jacksonville, Ill., May 27, 1979, reprinted from the Jacksonville Sentinel, June 23, 1859:
"Terrible Tornado. Seven persons killed and from thirty to fifty badly hurt. Houses and barns torn to atoms; fences, trees and heavy timbers carried an amazing distance, hedges stripped to the stumps or torn up by the roots; cattle, horses and hogs killed, the feathers stripped from chickens, and their heads torn off. . . . Jacob Sample's house was entirely destroyed. His mother killed, himself dangerously wounded. two of his daughters much bruised, two others considerably injured, his two sons slightly injured, and a perfect destruction of everything about the house and premises. . . .
