Died - May 26, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Bemis, near Pierpont Mannor, Eli Hartson Salisbury, aged 82. He was born in Hamilton, Madison County, on the place where the university now stands, and was the seventh in a family of ten children. His father removed with his family to this county in 1823, locating in what is now known as South Richland. Mr. Salisbury learned the tanners trade of Luke B. Smith, whose tannery was at the time on Mill Street in this village, and later he was associated with his brother, Dewey C. Salisbury and George T. Peckham in that business. For some time he conducted a livery on the site now occupied by Anson Bittlecome and afterward purchased the tannery at Mannsville, taking as a partner, Mr. William Baldwin of that place. He also owned the tannery at Holmesville where he lived for several years. He married Miss Louisa Snyder, of Sandy Creek, a sister of Mrs. George Hubbs, of this village, a very estimable lady who died several years ago. They had five children, James, a well known hotel man who died at Pierpont Mannor about two years since; Liewellyn, who lives in Michigan; Mrs. Oliver Combs, of Denver, Colorado; Edward Salisbury, of Daysville and Mrs. Kittie Salisbury Bemis, of Pierpont Mannor. About fifteen years ago he married a second time, taking for his wife Mrs. Hannah Salisbury Craft, whom he survived several years. Wherever he was known Mr. Salisbury made many friends who respected him for his integrity of character and his many pleasant social qualities. He was the last of the family of ten children, his sister, Mrs. George L. Bragdon dying in 1893 at the advanced age of eighty-nine.
