Sam Galender is one of the brothers in the Galender trio, who arrive in Walnut Grove in the episode, "The Bully Boys". When they arrive in Walnut Grove Sam and his brother George Galender go over to Oleson's Mercantile and restock their supplies on the promise that they have a banknote on the way and assure Nels and Harriet that they'll pay them.
Later they head over to Hanson's Mill, and purchase a load of lumber originally cut for Bert Henderson on the same promise on the banknote coming, Lars is skeptical but agrees. After purchasing the lumber, they sell it to Bert Henderson for a few dollars less. A few days later, while in Walnut Grove they see Caroline going to the mercantile.
