Samuel Brody, 1890–1956: A Brief Biography¹

University of Missouri- Columbia 65201

Abstract

Samuel Brody was born in Lithuania on February 6, 1890. He passed away at Columbia, Missouri on August 6, 1956. Dr. Brody married Sophia Edith Dubosky of Berkeley, California in 1920. They had two sons, Dr. Eugene B. Brody and Dr. Arnold Brody.

At the age of 16 Samuel Brody emigrated to Canada, where an older brother had gone to live. While in Canada he earned a living working as a miner, a peddler and, for a short time, as a commercial fisherman. He later moved to New Hampshire, where another older borther, I. A. Brody, lived. He worked there as a machinist until he decided to work in a field that would bring him in close contact with plants, animals and other humans.

Samuel Brody left his machinist job in New Hampshire and made his way alone and unaided to the National Farm School in Pennsylvania. It was there that he learned of the work of T. Brailsford Robertson of the University of California at Berkeley.

¹ The assistance of Dr. Harold Johnson and Professor Rex Ricketts in review and editing this manuscript is appreciated. Much of the material was condensed from a Biographical Sketch of Dr. Samuel Brody written by Agnes Fay Morgan of the University of California-Berkeley printed in the Second Samuel Brody Memorial Lectureship Series Program at Columbia, MO., December 7, 1961.
