Canadice, N. Y. - After a battle of several weeks with disease and the weaknesses of old age, Hugh S. Salter, one of the esteemed citizens and prominent farmers of this town, died on Friday night. In his life of nearly 80 years, his health had been good and it was thought at first that he could ward off the blow. But, little by little, he lost ground and finally succumbed to the foe who conquers all. A kind neighbor and upright man has fallen, leaving two sons, Austin of Wayland, and Frank M. of this place. Rev. George Richmire officiated at the funeral service on Monday at the home, and the remains were laid in Evergreen cemetery at Springwater.
