He was born on July 23, 1892, in Ocala, FL, and his mother died when he was only 5 years old. Sam grew up in Thomasville, GA, and worked with his father at a Nursery.

Sam married Nellie M. and they had four children: Samuel Conrad Jr. (1918), Sarah Lily (1922), Peter W. (1925), and Andrew Paul (?).
Nellie died on March 4, 1979, and her husband wasn't far behind her. Sam passed away on July 25, 1979, in Thomasville, just two days after his 87th birthday.
