Col. Samuel L.
Mooney was born in Belmont County in 1830.
Upon graduation he went to work as a clerk at Armstrong’s Mills. He then spent 12 years in business with his
brother-in-law, James W. Armstrong. In
1862 he moved to Woodsfield where he conducted a general store. In 1874 he organized the Monroe Bank and was
made its President. At the date this
photo was incorporated into the 1906 book from which it was taken, Col. Mooney
was still president of the bank. Click
