The whole community [Glover] was started and shocked on Christmas Day to learn of the death of one of our prominent and much respected citizens by accident on the morning of that most joyous day of the year. The cause of the accident, as stated in a previous issue, was the collapse of an old building, which Arthur Salmon was taking down to use as fuel.
Arthur Salmon was the son of the late John and Jean Salmon, and the youngest of eleven children. He was born on December 3d, 1859, on the very farm where he died, and the greater part of his life he lived on that farm. Twenty-six years ago he married Miss Nora Kelton and a happy home has been the result of all these years.
Mr. Salmon was a man with many friends, a good citizen and neighbor, a thrifty farmer, honest and upright, and the community meets with a great loss in his removal. He was a faithful member of the Masonic order at Barton and an associate member of Mason Post at Glover. He was the father of five children, four of whom survive him, while one died in infancy. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, three sons, Merrill A., Matthew C, and Peter J., also one daughter, Jean Irene. Three of his brothers survive him, James and Harry of Glover and Matthew of Rock Ledge, Fla. Two sisters also are living, Mary Ann Stone of Albany and Mrs. Agnes Brown of Salem, Ore., besides more distant friends and neighbors, who sorrow over his death.
The funeral was held December 28, short services taking place at the house, after which the remains were taken to Glover village to the church where Rev. W. A. Warner officiated, assisted by Rev. Mr. Kimball. A large number of his brother Masons attended the obsequies. The interment was in Glover cemetery. (Orleans County Monitor, 8 Jan 1919)
