Pages 736-737 of The History of Clermont and Brown Counties, Vol. II Biographical: "Dr. Samuel A. Canter, of Point Isabel, Clermont county, is a broad minded, liberal thinker, highly respected and enjoying the benefits of a good practice. He is a man of recognized ability in his profession and is doing very good work in his chosen field. He has been identified with Clermont county all his life and is well known in various circles. He was born in Tate township, Clermont county, March 16, 1846, son of Stephen and Keturah (Altman) Canter, also natives of Clermont county. The mother was born in Tate township July 24, 1827, and died November 13, 1902, and the father was born in Washington township, November 6, 1822, and died November 2, 1866, both being buried in Bethel, Ohio. The father was a good mechanic, but was very fond of agricultural pursuits and became an excellent farmer. He and his wife had nine children, six of whom grew to maturity and four of whom now survive: Dr. Samuel A., the oldest; William T., born October 3, 1849, resides in Tate township; Nelson E., born November 4, 1851, died in 1902; John R., born September 16, 1853; Thomas A., born January 20, 1859, died at Williamsburg, Ohio, November 23, 1897; Orlando R., born in Tate township, May 31, 1863, lives in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from Clermont Academy he attended the College of Medicine and Surgery of Cincinnati from which he graduated in March 1879. He began practice at Point Isabel where he remained all his life being the only physician and surgeon in the village. He has built up a large practice and has won the confidence of the community. He takes a genuine interest in his fellowmen and has many sincere friends. He is a democrat in politics and has served as township trustee and as a member of the blind relief committe of Clermont County. He has belonged to the Masonic order since attaining his majority and is also an Odd Fellow. On April 1, 1875, Dr. Canter was united in marriage with Miss Harriet M. Parrish, born in Tate township February 22, 1848, daughter of Stephen and Missouri (Davis) Parrish, her father a native of Kentucky, and her mother of Clermont county, and both now deceased. They lived for many years in Clermont county and were prominent farmers of Tate township. They had nine children, of whom Rebecca, wife of William McChesney, lives in Tate township; B.F. lives on the old home place in Tate township; Elizabeth was the wife of Joseph L. Canter, both deceased; Mrs. Canter, wife of Dr. S.A. Canter, of this review. Dr. and Mrs. Canter have a very pleasant home on Main street, where he has his office. This has been their residence for a great many years. She is a member of the Methodist church, and he of the Christian church. Two children blessed their union, both born in Washington township: Walter E. died at the age of one week; Lena D., born January 16, 1881, died May 30, 1907. Both are buried in Bethel cemetery. The daughter was a great worker in the Order of the Eastern Star, and for several terms was matron of the local organization. Dr. Canter has won success by his own unaided efforts, for he is self-educated and made an independent start in life at an early age. He belongs to a very old family of the county through his mother, whose parents came to Clermont county from Pennsylvania. His father's parents were of Scotch-Irish descent. The grandfather's of Dr. Canter were named Thomas Canter and Samuel Altman, both well known names in the county's early history."
