Samuel Geyer came to Chuckery in 1893 to assist in the building of a school house at Chuckery. He was a carpenter. He and his family first lived just about ½ west of Chuckery off Route 161—on the opposite side of the Little Darby Creek. They had to walk a footbridge to get to their home. Then he built a house for his family—first house south of Chuckery on Route 38; it is a two-story home. It is still standing. In 1908, Sam & Mary bought a farm and moved to Tremont City just outside Springfield, Ohio.
