L.A. Salter Gives Honor To Death.
Pioneer Lawyer and Newspaperman Passed Away Wednesday Afternoon. - Buried at Argonia, Kansas Friday Morning.
Born in Marshall, Michigan, Lewis A., was the eldest of three sons of Melville J. and Sarah E. Salter. With his parents he came to Thayer, Kansas in an early day. He graduated from the Kansas State Agricultural College in 1879 and from the students there took for his bride Miss Susannah Madora Kinsey. The first two years of their married life were spent upon a farm near Thayer and they were among the first settlers of Argonia, Kansas, where Mr. Salter engaged in the hardware business and later took up the profession of law.
Lewis Allison Salter answered the final summons Tuesday afternoon at 1:20 with the same cheerful obedience that has been so characteristic of his fifty-eight years of life. Saddened by his death are the hearts of his wife, Mrs. Susannah M. Salter and eight grown children, who lose a faithful devoted, self-sacrificing husband and father. Surviving him also are two brothers, A.L. Salter of Wichita and Will E. Salter of Long Beach, California.
Early in life Lewis A. Salter was converted and joined the church of his parents, the Baptist church. He was a charter member of the First Baptist church of Alva. he homesteaded a claim near Alva and practiced law in that city in the early days of the territory. He enlisted in Company M, First Territorial Volunteer infantry during the Spanish-American war. The Headlight was established by him at Augusta in 1900 after his return from army service. He was a charter member of the A.O.U.W. lodge and a member of the Modern Woodmen in both of which orders he carried insurance to protect his family from want.
Lewis Salter was a man devoted to his family and home life. He sacrificed everything to this devotion. No selfish act was ever committed by him -self was continually denied for his loved ones advancement. So was he also with his friends and associates. Whatever of political ambitions he had were uncomplainingly sacrificed to the advancement of his friends and his devotion to party. It was a rare virtue in its completeness. No spectacular incidents mark his life of service. It was a consistent, patient and continuous employment of his talents. His sound reasoning and judgement in matters of law and life conduct have guided and sustained many.
He lived well his life and his profession of faith in God and the Savior were wrought out also in his humble service to the children of men.
Grief caused his death is an honorable expression. Death is honored by the yielding of his spirit from the body and so of L.A. Salter it many be truthfully said he honored death as he honored the days of his life. He gave it all of a mortal's honest measure.
