Saling The enterprising and progressive young man whose career we must now attempt to present in brief outline is achieving a success in material things of which he has every reason to be proud. Born in the Evergreen state just north of us, he has spent his entire life thus far in the west and has learned well the art of turning to his own advantage the conditions obtaining here. Mr. Saling is a son of the well-known pioneers, Edmund S. and Artemisia W. (French) Saling, natives respectively of Missouri and Indiana. The father came to Yam Hill county in 1852, thence to Walla Walla county, Washington, in 1864, where he met and married our subject's mother, and where our subject was born, June 8, 1870. There Mr. Saling resided until fourteen years of age, acquiring such education as was to be had in the local public school. In 1885 he came to the then newly organized county of Morrow, accompanying his parents to Sand Hollow, where he has ever since lived. After his father's death, which occurred on March 31, 1894, he and his brother, Clyde, took charge of the place and from that time until the spring of the present year (1901) they followed farming and cattle raising, but they have now disposed of their cattle and invested in a herd of twelve hundred sheep. They have eighteen hundred acres of land in their home place and two hundred and forty acres of timber in the mountains. Fraternally Mr. Saling is affiliated with Heppner Lodge, No. 69, F. & A.M. He was married on March 14, 1900, to Miss Eva E. Bartholomew, daughter of Judge A. G. and Mary (Coe) Bartholomew, of Heppner, Oregon, and they have one child, M. A. Ruth, born February 7, 1901. Mrs. Saling is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. Additional Comments: An Illustrated History of Umatilla County by Colonel William Parsons and of Morrow County by W. S.
