She gained part of her education as a student at Milford T. H. S. She is a young woman of many excellent virtues and is well qualified to preside over a home of her own. Mr. Salmon is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Salmon and thus is a member of one of the best known and highly regarded family connections in Ash Grove. He is industrious and well liked by a large circle of friends. The future is bright with promise as the young people resume the journey of life together and their many friends join in hopes of success and happiness. ------------------------------------------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
