He was a son of Joseph Salkeld and Elizabeth Seegmiller. He married Mary A. McGuigan. They had the following children: William M., Alice M., Jennie M., and Louise M.
OBITUARY: Jos. M. Salkeld. Mr. Jos. M. Salleld of Wadena Saskatchewan, aged 52, formerly of Stratford, died Saturday night, through accidental poisoning, presumably ptomaine. The family, who reside here, barely received word that he was dead, with no particulars. Mr. Salkeld left here about ten years ago to take up ranching in the West. He is an old Stratford boy, being the son of the late Jos. Salkeld of Downie, and has come home on a visit almost every year. He was about 52 years old. He is survived by his widow and daughter Louise of Stratford, daughter Jennie teaching in the West, and William, an operator of Elora. Deceased also has relatives in the Gore of Downie. It is expected that the body will reach here about Saturday.
OBITUARY: The Signal (Goderich) Thursday 17 FEB 1910 page 5. Accidently Poisoned. Word was received a few days ago by his friends in Ontario of the death of Jos. Salkeld, of Wadena, Sask., formerly of Stratford, and a cousin of the Messrs. Salkeld of the Bayfield road. Death was due to accidental poisoning by carbonic acid. On Saturday, 5th inst., Mr. Salkeld was in Wadena and purchased some medicine, including bottles of painkiller and carbonic acid. He then drove home to his ranch, a distance of about thirty miles. Arriving home he felt a little chilly and unwell and going into the house took what he thought to be a drink of painkiller. He made a mistake in the bottles, however, and took carbonic acid. Running out of the house he ordered one of his hired men to drive him to Wadena for a doctor, and with the aid of others took every antidote he could think of in the meantime. This was of no avail and in fifteen minutes he was unconsious and in half an hour dead. The remains were brought to Stratford for internment. Mr. Salkeld, who left Stratford ten years ago to take up ranching in the West, is survived by his wife, two daughters-Louise of Stratford, and Jennie, teaching in the West-and one son, William, an operator at Elora. He was fifty two years of age.
