• Hazzard's History of Henry County, by George Hazzard, 1906, p. 152-153, describes Samuel Vannote Templin's military career as follows:

"The Civil War had commenced and in August, 1861, he enrolled his name in a company being recruited by Pyrrhus Woodward, George W. Lennard and James W. Connell of New Castle, which organization became Company C., 36th Indiana Infantry. With this company young Templin was mustered into the service of the United States, as a private, September 15, 1861. He served as a private for more than two years when he was appointed Corporal, then Sergeant and June 24, 1864, was promoted to First Lieutenant. The history of the 36th Indiana in all of its marches, skirmishes, campaigns and battles, Shiloh, Siege of Corinth, Perryville, Stone's River, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, and the many battles of the Atlanta Campaign, up to the time of the muster out of the regiment by reason of the expiration of its term of enlistment, September 21, 1864, is the military history of Samuel V. Templin.

"His record in the Civil War, however, was not permitted to terminate with the service of his old regiment. The veterans and recruits of the 36th Indiana were gathered together and formed into one company and transferred to the 30th Indiana Infantry, reorganized, and it became Company H of that regiment with Templin as its First Lieutenant. He was selected for this position from all the other first lieutenants of the regiment on account of the reputation he had acquired among his superior officers, for soldierly bearing, fidelity to duty and bravery in the face of the enemy. In a short time Lieutenant Templin was detached from his company as Aide de Camp on the staff of Brigadier General William Grose, commanding the Third Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps, and in this capacity was in what was known as the Hood Campaign in Tennessee, during which he participated in the battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864, and the battle of Nashville, December 15-16, 1864. Soon after these engagements with the enemy, Lieutenant Templin received a well merited promotion as Captain and Commissary of Subsistance U.S.V., February 2, 1865. In this capacity he remained on the staff of General Grose until the last of May, 1865. ... He was finally mustered out of the service in September, 1865. On August 30, 1865, he received his commission as Brevet Major U.S.V., "for gallant and meritorious service" in the Civil War."

• Hazzard's History of Henry County, by George Hazzard, 1906, p. 153, describes Samuel Vannote Templin's business career as follows:

"Major Templin returned to Blountsville after the war and entered the mercantile business there which he continued for three years or more. The venture, however, was not successful and he shortly afterwards went into the sawmill business which he conducted until 1880 when he again embarked in the dry-goods business first at Blountsville, remaining there until 1882, when he removed to Losantville, Randolph County, Indiana, where he has since continued to reside and where he has maintained a large general or department store. This last venture has met with deserved success."

An additional note later in the biography adds: "During the time Major Templin was a merchant at Blountsville, he was postmaster from May 7, 1867, to December 16, 1869."

• Hazzard's History of Henry County, by George Hazzard, 1906, p. 153, describes Samuel Vannote Templin's family life as follows:

"Major Templin was united in marriage with Elizabeth J. Brewington July 26, 1868. She was the daughter of John D. Brewington, an old and highly respected citizen of Blountsville and a soldier in the Civil War from Henry County ... From his union with Miss Brewington, four children were born, Eva Gertrude, now Mrs. George W. Johnson of Losantville; Clara M., now Mrs. Roy Confare of Logansport, Indiana; Forest Clyde, in business with his father, and Carl Spencer, who died in early childhood, being the first born child."
