Samuel M. Pickler
First District Normal School, Kirksville, Mo.
Instructor in Elocution, Logic, Bookkeeping & Math, 1868-1873
Member of the Board of Regents, 1899-1905; Secretary of the Board, 1903-1907
Samuel Pickler, son of George and Emily (Martin) Pickler, was born November 6, 1846 in Washington County, IN and grew up in Davis County, IA. The family moved to Kirksville in 1866. He took some advanced courses at the North Missouri Normal School and Commercial College (now Truman State University) during its first year of operation and the following year joined the faculty as an assistant. He became a regular instructor when it became a state school in 1870.
After leaving the Normal, Pickler became an enterprising businessman and civic leader in Kirksville. He was owner/editor of the Kirksville Journal for eight years, 1873-81, during which time he also founded the Milan Republican in nearby Milan, MO. In the 1880s and 1890s he operated a highly successful mercantile store, Pickler's Famous, on the north side of the Kirksville square. From these ventures, he invested heavily in land, including rental properties in Kirksville, timber acreage in western Adair County and property in other states, including an oil-bearing tract in California.
Pickler held several elected positions: Adair County School Commissioner, 1875-77, Mayor of Kirksville, 1882-83, and Adair County Representative in the Missouri Legislature for four terms, 1877-79, 1897-99, 1899-1901, & 1911-13. He was nominated as Republican candidate for Congress in 1900 but did not win.
From 1899 through 1907, Pickler served his former school on the Board of Regents, as a Board member for six years, 1899-1905, and as Secretary 1903-07. When Baldwin and Library Halls were destroyed by fire in 1924, he donated $25,000 toward replacing the library building. He later contributed additional funds to help furnish the building that had been named Pickler Memorial Library in his honor.
Sam Pickler and Mary "Mollie" Bowen married on October 15, 1873 and had a daughter, Ethel (Mrs. Frank P. Young), and a son, Erle Kasson, who died at age twelve. The couple divorced in 1897 and Pickler married Ida Martin Fowler on June 13, 1898. He died on March 12, 1929 and was buried at Forest Cemetery in Kirksville.

S. M. Pickler, dealer in general merchandise, lumber, railroad ties, piling, etc., was born in Washington County, Ind., in 1846, removed to Iowa in 1852, and to Kirksville in 1866. He soon after became a student in old Normal College, in which he efficiently filled the chair of elocution, logic and mathematics, until 1873, after which he was the editor and publisher of the Kirksville Journal until 1882. Since that date he has been handling timber and ties, and, in connection with that, he has opened, October, 1885, his general merchandise store, in which he carries a stock of about $15,000, and employs five assistants. He is not only an extensive and successful operator in business, but is also very prominent in political life, having served as county school commissioner, and a member of the Legislature in 1877.
