Samuel worked as a cordwainer or a shoemaker. A cordwainer originally used Cordovan Spanish Leather. They also made other leather goods such as leather bottles. Samuel died of Tuberculosis or Consumption as it was known then. TB was a major killer in the nineteenth century. It is caused by a bacillus, modern name is mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is commonly spread through the air especially as the sufferer coughs up copious phlegm. The bacilli also settles on the floor where it is later stirred up. If a person is fairly fit the bacillus that enters the lungs can be fought off by the immune system but circumstances such as malnutrition, crowded rooms, no ventilation, dirty floors etc. can cause the disease to take hold.
