HENRY FERDINAND SALAU, Jr., has made the -best of such inherited gifts as industry, integrity, and practical common-sense, and to-day is rated as one of the successful farmers and dairymen of the vicinity of Los Banos. The family connection with California, from the time of its
establishment in 1871, up to the present, is known to practically all who live in Merced county, and Ludwig Salau, the father of Henry F., is esteemed as one of the substantial and worthy residents of this section.

Ludwig Salau, as well as his son, were born near Lybec,
Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, the latter March 4, 1857. Besides this only son there were six daughters in the family, two of whom now live in America, and one of whom preceded her father and brother to the United
States, settling in California. Losing his wife, Christine (Weaver) Salau, in the old country, father and son sailed for the LJnited States in the fall of 1871, the elder Salau having spent many years as a weaver, and upon his arrival in America resided with his children until his death in 1882." ~

Henry Ferdinand Salau, a pioneer of this community and resident property owner for many years, died in a Sacramento hospital Friday morning, October 6, after an illness resulting from a fall sustained seven weeks prior to his death. Salau came with his father, John Louis Salau, as a young boy from Lubeck, Germany, to make his home on the West Side. In due course took up the carpenter's trade, and later engaged in farming and dairy pursuits. In 1914 he retired from active farm work and moved to Oakland, where he lived until he moved to Sacramento several years ago. He was a member of Mountain Brow Lodge No. 82, I.O.O.F. at Los Banos for about fifty years, holding his membership with the Order to the time of his death. He was an adherent to the Lutheran faith. Funeral services were held at the Los Banos Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, the members of the Odd Fellows lodge, who attended in a body, conducting the rites, together with Rev. C.P. Martin.

Mr. Salau's favorite hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God", was sung by Roger C. Rice and O.R. Zentner, with Mrs. Abel P. Machado at the organ. A solo and duet, "Not Half Has Even Been Told," and "Abide With Me," were also sung. Burial was made in the family plot in the Los Banos cemetery. Pallbearers were Jesse M. Smith of Merced, John E. Fahey, W.L. Parsley, J.C. Knudsen, J.W. Ives and Bert Darr. Honorary pallbearers included J.L. Toscano, Chas. P. Smith, M.R. Becker, C.L. Pfitzer, Chas F. Riedle, Michael Etcheverry, J.B. Erreca and J. Trigilia. Mr. Salau was born March 4, 1857. He was never married.
