Undated news clippings:
Another Old Citizen Passes Away.
Edward Salisbury, an old and respectable resident of Paterson, died yesterday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac Fiddler, 83 Park avenue. Mr. Salisbury reached the ripe old age of 92 years, 2 months and 1 day, and despite his years, he worked regularly every day until about ten or a dozen years ago, when he retired on a comfortable fortune to spend the balance of his life at ease. Deceased was for a great many years employed in the millwright shop of the Danforth & Cooke Locomotive works, and was one of the best machinists that ever lived in Paterson. He was one of the original stockholders of the King Cotton Mill company, which built the factory occupied by Doherty & Wadsworth, recently destroyed by fire, on the site of their present new building. After his retirement he went West for awhile, where he had purchased two large farms, but these he sold and returned to Paterson. Mr. Salisbury was never sick in his life until about two weeks before his death, and despite the fact that he was always a hardworking man he was hale and hearty almost to the last. He was a man of excellent parts and greatly esteemed by all who knew him. But as a matter of fact he had long outlived all of his old friends and acquaintances and stood alone as a representative of the oldest days of Paterson mechanics. He leaves a widow, who is well along in the eighties, but who is remarkably well preserved for a woman of her years. The regular funeral notice will be found in another column.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral on Saturday, October 12 from his late residence, No. 83 Park avenue, at 2 o'clock p.m.
