Notes
a. Note:   Obituary for Mary Tutor Salmon published in The Sentinel, January 21, 1915, Pontotoc, Mississippi
  Mrs. Mary Salmon
  My beloved mother, Mrs. Mary Salmon, nee May Tutor, was born in Wake county, near Raleigh, N.C. in April 1, 1831, and departed this life for the glorious life with Jesus at 12:10 o�clock, a.m., Jan. 13, 1915, from the home of her son S.A. Salmon, where she had been sick with severe cold for several weeks, having lived to a ripe old age-83 years, 8 months and 21 days, with strong mind and memory up to the last. She was known as �Aunt Polly� or �Grandma�, and was always in a state of mind to give her voice as reproof or approval on questions of right or wrong. She was married to John Salmon at 18 years of age and to this union was born eight children, five daughters and three sons, Mrs. G.W. Lewellyn of Water Valley, Mrs. Tom Turner of Randoph and Mrs Berry Tedford, deceased, who proceded her a few years, S.A. Salmon of Randoph, and J.A. and J.H. Salmon of Pontotoc. With her husband and three children, she moved from North Carolna a few years before the Civil War and bought land where the Salmon graveyard is and selected his burying place near a large gate where his body was laid in the year1864, to await the resurrection. When quite young, �Grandma� gave her heart through faith to God and was �born again� and united with the church, a number of believers in the Blood sacrifice for their sins by Jesus Christ, called the Baptist Piney Grove Church. Let me appeal to you children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whose number will reach 200 or more, your praying mother and grandmother�s voice will not be heard any more. She will bless you no more with her prayers and council. She stood as a headlight to dispell and renounce all darkness and dishonesty. She was loyal to God in words and in testimony--she would shout God�s praises to victory. She was found on every battlefield where sin was to combat. She spared not her own when correcting her children. She was sanctified and fully reconciled to God�s will. God willeth that none should die. God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you always having all sufficiency, in all things may abound to every good work. She had no fear of man, not ashamed of Jesus, at home or abroad among thousands, the first to give testimony of the grace of God and what Jesus had done for her soul and body, in adversity or prosperity, carried with her armful of God�s promises, worked with her hands, never seen begging bread, always on the firing line resisting the devil at every angle, in love, with the two-edge sword of God. Some loved her because of her precepts and example for good. The battle is over, her works will follow, her reward is Heaven. Now, to all who showed her kindness while living, at the sick bed, the helping hands and sympathetic hearts at the grave, we sinerely thank you and commend you to God in well doing.
  Written by her son J.A.S.
