The angel of death has once more
visited our community ,sand taken from
US one of our most respected and best
beloved citizens, John Salmon. He
was son of John and Jean Crawford
Salmon and was born in Scotland, JAN
uary 3rd, 1889. When he was five
years of age his parents came from
the old country to Poughkeepsie, N
Y, and after brief stay there came
, to Glover and settled on the farm now
owned by the youngest brother, Ar
thur. While yet a young man John
Salmon bought and settled on the farm
where he has since resided. Thirty
! two years ago last Christmas Mr.. Sal
mon married Mrs. Betsy Lord Drew,
: who survives him. One child,
daughter, Jean, was born to them, but
died when but three years of age.
Mr.. Salmon never ceased to mourn for
her and in common with many another
bereaved parent her playthings and
=. the little rocking chair in which she
. sat have been, sacred things to him.
The little rocking chair, made by his
own hands, was placed near his caSket
n at the funeral. The loss of his only
little one did not harden his heart
e toward others, but rather brought his
heart in touch and sympathy with all
childhood, and made MIN loved by all
q the children IN the community. His
stepdaughter, Mrs Eugene Anderson,
was very dear to him. Mrs. Anderson
: has been in poor health for some time,
D and MIR. Salmon had worried about
her, but now he is gone first. Mr..
1t Salmon was possessed of a very re-
h tentive memory and could relate sever
al incidents of the voyage across the
Atlantic taken when he was a child.
III A good, clean, honest gentlemen OF
= the old school, he loved his fellow-men
and was loved and respected by large
y, circle of friends and neighbors. II
>. common with his wife, he loved flow
> ers, they frightened the windows O.
his home through the cold winter days
= and made his grounds beautiful
Throughout the summer, and it seemed
very fitting that he should at the las
be laid to rest among a profusion O.
blossoms, many of which his own dea
hands had cultivated. May the dea
ones left comfort themselves in the
IS knowledge that
III 1.-The Lord is risen indeed,
" He is here for your love, for you
or Not in the grave nor the sky,
ee But here, where men live and die;
so And true the word that was said,
on Why seek We the living among tn
It. dead?"
