General Notes: Husband - William Salters

---

He appears to have been a jovial and joke-loving man. This story is told of him: While traveling in the West, as Ohio was then called, he halted for the night at a small village inn. Hearing that some strange preacher was to do missionary service in the town school-house, to while away the time he concluded to go and hear the preaching. On entering the house, great was his surprise to see, in the preacher "Pete" Stillwagon, a noted character of Connellsville, Pennsylvania. Though equally surprised to see Salters, "Pete" maintained his position undauntedly, and spoke quite energetically. At the close he announced that "Brother Salters" would now take his hat around for their offerings. "Brother Salters" did as he was desired, and took up the collection. On leaving the house "Pete" begged Salters not to betray him, which, of course, after his part in the matter, Salters did not.

He was sheriff of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, one term; he left there and went to the iron regions of Ohio, where he became wealthy.
