General Notes: Husband - Simon Sallade

---

Owing to the lack of schools in his day and place, he was obliged to depend on parental instruction, but being an apt pupil he early mastered the main branches of a good education. He read and re-read the few books that fell into his hands and made their contents his own. He was also greatly assisted, when near manhood, by a private instructor employed by himself and other young men of the neighborhood. Mr. Sallade learned the trade of millwright with Jacob Berkstresser, of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, and designed and built many of the old mills within thirty or forty miles of his residence. Brought into contact with all kinds and classes of people, in social life and in business relations, he naturally became warmly interested in public matters, and especially in those of a political nature, and was in consequence drawn into public life; not, however, as a professional politician, but as one seeking to promote the general welfare. He was always a loyal Democrat, but never a partisan, and when nominated for office made his appeal to the people and not to the party. He was four times the nominee of his party for the State Legislature, and was three times elected, although the majority in the county was with the opposite party, and the single instance of his defeat resulted from the clear and honest expression of his opposition to the enactment of the Maine liquor law in 1853, when the candidate opposed to him was able to "trim" on the issue. Mr. Sallade served in the State Legislature during the sessions of 1819-20, 1836-37 and in 1853, in all of which he was a prominent and influential member. He was the author of what was popularly termed the "Wiconisco Feeder Bill," and to his advocacy and influence that measure so important to the material interests of the upper end of Dauphin County owed its passage. Through the outlet provided by this improvement, the Lykens Valley coal fields were developed. Mr. Sallade was superintendent of the construction of the Wiconisco canal, receiving his appointment from the canal commissioners.
The story of the life of Simon Sallade is a familiar one in Lykens Valley. His sociability, hospitality, humor, honesty and generous charity were long talked about, and formed a part of the traditional local history, in which his name was mentioned with grateful recollection of his goodness and just recognition of his greatness.
