Also two brothers, Frank HOLMES of Fairfield and Will HOLMES of Linsey, Ontario, Canada, and two sisters, Mrs. Rose LYONS of Merna, Neb. and Lavena SIMMONS of Rochester, New York. Also a host of friends who hold her in hallowed recollection.

Mrs. SALTS came to Jefferson county in 1898 where she has lived ever since. She had been in failing health for the past fifteen years but only took to her bed last Sunday, Oct. 22, where her life slowly ebbed away.

She will be remembered for her sympathy and kindness which went out to her friends and loved ones and for her patience which never failed even in the times of suffering and sorrow and trial.
