Biographical Note	Samuel Erson Asbury was born in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 26, 1872. In the fall of 1889, Samuel enrolled in North Carolina State College of Agricultural and Engineering College in Raleigh after first promising his father that he would put his seven brothers and sisters through college also. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from North Carolina A&M in 1893. He was then employed as an instructor at the college while he worked on his Master of Science degree, which he received in 1896. Between 1895 and 1904, Samuel worked alternately with the North Carolina Experiment Station, the State Chemist's office in Richmond, Virginia, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and the State Chemist of Tennessee. On November 1, 1904 he accepted a position as Assistant State Chemist with the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station on the campus of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. From 1905 to 1915 his work required him to travel throughout East Texas as a fertilizer inspector for Dr. G. S. Frapa, the State Chemist. He spent the remainder of his career with the experiment station in the analysis of fertilizer and feed until his retirement in 1945. Samuel Asbury died in Bryan, Texas on January 10, 1962.
