Ernest R. Salsbury was the son of Charles and Theresa (Cleaver) Salsbury and the wife of Martha Nevin. The Salsburys had a daughter, Rosella, and unnamed twin son who died during birth.

"Ernest R. Salisbury, manager of the Comstock Co-operative Creamery, and formerly for many years a successful educator, is a native of this county, born at Dallas, Sept. 26, 1880, the son of Charles and Theresa ( Cleaver) Salsbury, natives of New England. They came to Barron County, and homesteaded 80 acres in Section 18, Dallas Township, to which they later added another 80 acres. There the father has continued to carry on general farming. In connection with this he has been a traveling salesman at various times, and wool buyer for the Barron Woolen Mills. The mother died March 4, 1905. Of the eight children in the family there are now living seven: Charles Le, of Mondovi; Alta L., the wife of T. R. Forehand, of Rice Lake; Willis H. on the old homestead; Anna L., wife of Sylvanus Barton, of RiceLake; Frank, who farms in Prairie Farm Township; Ernest R., and Rosella, the wife of Martin Frenstad, of Almena Village. Ernest R. was reared on the farm. His early education was received in the district school. In 1902 he took the teachers’ course in the Wisconsin State Normal School at Superior. In 1903 he took the commercial course in the New Era Business College at Superior. With this preparation he started teaching in Turtle Lake Township. Thereafter he taught in this county for seventeen years. He was a good teacher, thoroughly competent, and possessed of the happy faculty of inspiring his pupils to do their best work. In 1917 he took his present positionas manager of the creamery. His efficient work has built up the institution and the increase in business under his leadership has been notable. He has a pleasant home and four acres in Crystal Lake Township, where he lives. He also has a comfortable residence and 20 acres in Cumberland Township, which he rents. Mr. Salsbury was married in Clinton Township, March 16, 1916, to Martha Nevin, the daughter of James and Rebecca Nevin, formerly farmers of Clinton Township, and now living retired in Barron. Mr. and Mrs. Salsbury have one child, Rosella, born July 5, 1917. Abstracted from page 317 of The History Of Barron County, Wisconsin, published in 1922 by H.C.
