He married Elizabeth Esther Gould July 12, 1875, at Dudley, Staffordshire, England, who bore her husband two children, namely, Mary Ann (born March 2, 1896) and William (born Oct. 15, 1877). Becoming a convert to "Mormonism," Samuel Dugmore was baptized Oct. 10, 1883, by Elder Reuben Carter, and emigrated to Utah with his family in 1884, crossing the Atlantic in the steamship "Wisconsin." On his arrival in Utah he settled at Fountain Green, Sanpete county, May 1, 1884. He was ordained an Elder August 6, 1885, by Reuben Carter, took charge of the Deacons at Fountain Green from 1886 to 1888, and received his blessings in the Manti Temple August 22, 1888.

Reuben G. Miller Nov. 22, 1903, and set apart as second counselor to Bishop Potter of Sunnyside. Having been called to succeed Bishop Potter at Sunnyside, he was ordained a Bishop Jan. 16, 1906, by Apostle Hyrum M. Smith. Bro. Duckmore is still acting as Bishop of the Sunnyside Ward, at which place he has filled many positions of honor and responsibility; at present he is a member of the town board of Sunnyside.
