Sebern Sallee, Sr., a member of the firm of Sallee & Cowden, 
proprietors of the Roller Mills at Pleasant Hope, Mo., was born
in Marion County, Ark., near Yellville, on the 14th of October, 
1854, and is a son of John K. and Permelia (Hudson) Sallee, the 
former being a native of Schuyler County, Ill., and the latter of
Tennessee.  The mother died in 1867, and the father afterward 
married Sarah Looney, and is now living in Greene County, Mo.
He has been a farmer all his life, but was a heavy loser during 
the late Civil War.  He served two years and six months in the 
Federal army, and took an active part in the battles of Wilson's
Creek, Prairie Grove and others.  His first union resulted in the 
birth of eight children, seven of whom are living.  Sebern Sallee 
was the fourth child, and received his education in Greene and Polk
Counties, and after attaining his seventeenth year began working for
Robertson & Bedell, near Ebenezer, Greene County, and, after
learning the trade of engineer, followed that calling for five years.
During this time he was in the saw-mill business in different
places in those counties.  In 1881 he came to Pleasant Hope and 
purchased and operated the mills up to the present time, they being
among the best in the county. In November, 1878, he was married
to Miss Mary Violet Crockett, a daughter of David Crockett, who
was a relative of Davy Crockett, of Tennessee.  She was born in
Hickory County, and died on the 26th of September, 1888, having
borne a family of six children, four of whom are living: Allie,
Mayland, Zoe and Louis.  Anna and Albert are deceased.  The mother
of these children was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian 
Church.  Mr. Sallee is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church,
a Mason, a member of the Wheel, and in his political views is
a Republican.
