Ann Justice Salt is my second great grandmother.\u00a0 She was born in\"RM-Salt,<\/a> Clermont county, Ohio in 1830 \u2013 presumably on the family farm \u2013 the third child of Ruhama Blackman and Savil Justice.\u00a0 The two older siblings died before she was 20 years old, as did the youngest child born to Ruhama and Savil.<\/p>\n

The family story is that it was her older sister, Amanda Justice, who was engaged to marry Edward Wilshire Salt in about 1850.\u00a0 Amanda had been out nursing a young neighbor couple with cholera, and came home infected with it herself.\u00a0 She died quickly after her first symptoms, in August 1850, and was laid out and buried in the dress she was to have been married in.\u00a0\u00a0 I have never seen a date that Amanda\u2019s wedding was to have been, but Wilshire married Ann in February 1851.\u00a0 Given that Amanda had a dress for her wedding already in August, I suspect that the wedding was supposed to be close to then.<\/p>\n

Wilshire was 27 and Ann was 20 when they married.\u00a0 He had been farming, on land next to his father\u2019s, and he and Ann presumably lived where he had been living.\u00a0 They mostly lived in the Salt house built by Wilshire\u2019s father John, but the timing of their moving in isn\u2019t clear (and happened between federal census years).\u00a0 They might have moved in with the older couple immediately after their marriage, but I suspect that it was some years later.\u00a0 John Salt\u2019s third wife died in 1857 and it would make sense that it have been around that time that Wilshire and Ann moved in.<\/p>\n

By the end of 1857, Ann had borne 4 children. one of whom had died as an infant.\u00a0 The last child, a son, born to Ann and Wilshire was born in 1860 and named for his father.\u00a0 Then, her young husband, who seemed in the best of health, complained of feeling bad and died within the hour (as I was told by a cousin).\u00a0 Edward Wilshire Salt died in 1864 at age 40.\u00a0 I have not yet found any record of his death (except on his gravestone) so don\u2019t know if this is an accurate report of what happened.<\/p>\n

After her husband\u2019s death Ann moved with her children to New Richmond Ohio for a short while, and her daughter Jessie Belle attended the Parker\u2019s Academy.\u00a0 While there Jessie Belle contracted Typhoid and only lived a week, dying at age 14 in 1866.\u00a0 At the time of the 1870 census, Ann and her sons were still in New Richmond and all three were in school \u2013 perhaps the Academy.\u00a0 It is said by my cousin that the remaining next child (son Savil, named after Ann\u2019s father) had tuberculosis (not uncommon in this time period) and although they tried sending him south for his health, it did not help and he died at age 23 in 1879.\u00a0 By the 1880 census Ann and her remaining two sons were back at the farm in Saltair and her sons were working as farm laborers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Her older remaining son, Clifford, married in 1883 (see post<\/a> about Katie Coffin Salt) and the young couple lived on the farm with Ann.\u00a0 Katie and her two young children remained there after Clifford\u2019s accident and subsequent institutionalization and Ann lived with them.\u00a0 Ann continued to live on the farm even after Katie and her children moved out, dying there in 1905.\u00a0 She had never remarried and had managed to raise her children without much financial help.\u00a0 As her obituary said she was uncomplaining about this and worked earnestly to do her best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
