Notes

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997]

Salmon Hebard Wilder, son of Moses H. Wilder, also bearing his maternal grandfather's name, was a mechanic, of good reputation as an improver and designer of machinery. From the avails of an invention he purchased a farm in Iowa and moved there, but his health failed, and after laying his wife and eldest daughter in the grave, he went to Colorado, where he spent six years, and then with restored health, he returned East, and was working at his trade. He resided in Meriden, with his two remaining daughters as housekeepers.
Though not a graduate, he had a clear, vigorous, and well-balanced mind, as several articles in the New-Englander, International Magazine, and other papers, on the fallacy of some of the positions of the scientists of the day, would show.
