Surnames: Salmon, Peacock
I'm looking for info on the family of Herman C. Salmon, b. Sept. 1885 in Indiana, USA. His wife, Elizabeth, last name unknown, died August 20, 1944. What was her maiden name?

They had daughters Lois and Doris. Doris married a Mr. Peacock.

There's apparently a bio on Herman -- SALMON, Herman ; Times to Remember; Acadia. Could someone send this to me?

Thank you for any tips.

Carolyn

The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these names;

Elizabeth Frey SALMON, 1882 - 20 Aug 1944, died at Empress AB, buried in the Alsask SK cemetery.

Alsask is just across the border in Saskatchewan, Sibald is about 20 miles west of the border in Alberta and Empress about 50 miles south of Alsask just at the border in Alberta.

My husband John Peacock is the oldest grandson of Herman Salmon. I am the family historian and know all of Herman's descendants and have old family photos. Do you know of Herman's ancestors? Herman's wife's maiden name was Frey.

Hi! Thank you for responding to my query.

Yes, I do have Herman's ancestors. He was born in Clinton county, Indiana, to George Cortez Salmon and Catherine/Katharine A. Cheney. Here's an obit of Herman's sister:

Frankfort Times, Tues., July 17, 1973, pg. 2

Bessie C. Salmon

Bessie C. Salmon, 709 N. Jackson St., died at 9:20 p.m. yesterday at Clinton County Hospital. She was 90.

A native of Kilmore, Miss Salmon was born Jan 1, 1883, the daughter of George Cortez and Katharine Cheney Salmon. She spent her childhood in Moran and graduated from Frankfort High School in 1901.

Miss Salmon graduated from DePauw University in 1912 and completed missionary training in Cincinnati before going to Korea from 1915-1919. She worked as a teacher and missionary and was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.

She is survived by three nieces, Doris Salmon Peacock of Alberta, Canada,; Lois Salmon of Chilliwack, Canada, and Katharine Beil Egner of Battle Creek, Mich.

Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Frye Funeral Home with Rev. Ted Osgood officiating. Burial will be in Kilmore Cemetery. Friends may call from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. tomorrow.

George's parents were Daniel Salmon and Margaret Clark. Daniel's parents were George Salmon and Mary Castator. Mary's parents were John Castator and Catharine LNU, from whom I descend.

Margaret Clark's parents were Matthew Clark and Elizabeth Armstrong McFeaters. Elizabeth's parents were James McFeeters and Mary Armstrong, from whom I also descend. Mary's parents were John Armstrong and Eleanor Wallace.

I have a lot of info and would love to share. Please contact me at carolyn dot hoffman at verizon dot net.
