Hubert Salmonson
Hubert A. Salmonson, 91, of Lodi, died Sept. 29 in San Marcos. He was born Jan. 
31, 1914, on the family farm in Kelvin, N.D.

Mr. Salmonson married Marian Smith in Bottineau in 1940. He joined the Army in 
1943. He completed basic training camp at Camp Walters, Texas, and then was 
sent to Europe and into combat shortly after the Normandy invasion. While in 
the Army, he served as a combat infantryman with the 30th infantry division in 
Normandy, across France and Belgium and into Germany, where he was wounded in 
1944. 

He was awarded the Purple Heart Medal for wounds received in combat in Germany 
and also the Bronze Star Medal with oak leaf clusters for meritorious service 
while with the Lost Battalion at Mortain, France.

Following his service, he and his wife moved to Seattle, Wash. In 1953, they 
relocated to Los Angeles, where they owned and operated a business for many 
years. They then moved to Vista, where they owned another business until their 
retirement in 1984.

While living in Vista, he and his wife were members of Emanuel Faith Community 
Church in Escondido. He and his wife's main interest was being involved in the 
church and they studied the bible with Bible Study Fellowship International for 
eight years.

They enjoyed being able to go the Holy Land, Israel with their church family 
and two pastors once in 1996 and again in 1999. He and his wife also enjoyed 
traveling, fishing, and keeping in touch with friends and relatives.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Marian Salmonson, of Lodi; daughters, 
Teresa Mortenson, of Lodi and Paula Marie Vessel, of Fresno; four grandchildren 
and four great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by two brothers, two sisters and one grandson.

A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Lodi Memorial Cemetery, 
5750 E. Pine St., Lodi.

Frisbie-Warren and Caroll Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
