...on a June morning in 1893. Dr. and Mrs. Salter took friends riding through Aspen Grove Cemetery, and during the course of the outing, an oak tree suddenly escaped the control of workmen taking it down, and crashed to earth. Salter's surrey was directly in its path. Mary Salter died instantly, and Salter was injured so severely that he was unable to attend his wife's funeral.
