W. H. SALMON was born September 14, 1844, in Todd County.  He is a son
of Capt. William and E. P. (Cobb) Salmon, parents both born in Virginia;
they came to Todd County in about 1829.  The father died in 1847.  Our
subject was raised on his mother's farm.  She died in February, 1880,
leaving three children: America A., John and William H., who was married
April 20, 1882, to Miss Sallie Bell, of Arkansas.  One son gladdens their
home--David B.  This farm consists of about 220 acres of land, well
improved.
