1905 - Run Down by Auto - Sherman S. Salisbury Laid Up as a Result of Accident
Sherman S. Salisbury was run down and quite painfully injured by an automobile near the corner of State and Dill Streets Saturday afternoon. The auto was being driven by Frank Shaw and he came from the garage in Dill Street at a high rate of speed. In making the turn into Dill Street he struck the rear wheel of the bicycle which Mr. Salisbury was riding. Mr. Salisbury was thrown to the pavement with great force, bruising his right knee, tearing his trousers and bruising and scraping the skin from both hands. Shaw was unable to make the turn into State Street after the accident happened and steered his machine into the laneway in the rear of the Whiting flour store, where it was stopped.

Mr. Salisbury did not think his injuries were serious at the time, but later in the evening his bruised knee commenced to swell and became very painful. He is now under the care of Dr. J. P. Creveling. Many narrow escapes are seen daily at this corner as the automobiles of all shapes and sizes whiz...Read MORE...

1910 - Sales Agent Salisbury - Auburn Man will Handle Kavmor Presses in Western Territory
Sherman S. Salisbury, who since the beginning of the Citizen's career has had charge of the Job department, signed a contract in New York yesterday by which he becomes general agent, with offices in Chicago, of the Kavmor Automatic Press Company. This concern is the one that wanted to locate in Auburn some time ago but whose plant was established in Philadelphia, Pa., where its business is increasing by leaps and bounds. It maintains its principal offices in New York and in the past few months has secured some most important contracts. Mr. Salisbury will open his office for the concern in Chicago during the first week in January and his territory will include Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

Mr. Salisbury is one of the best known printers in this section. When it comes to the practical end of the game there are few who are better equipped. He started in the business when a mere boy, learned it from A. to Izzard and has had the...Read MORE...

1913 - Believe Missing Man is Located - Sherman S. Salisbury Thought to be Located in Tupper Lake
(Special to The Times)

Auburn. Dec 4 - It is believed that Sherman S. Salisbury, the traveling salesman, who has been representing the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Co. of Watertown and George Irish of Rochester, also a dealer in paper and printers supplies, and who disappeared in Malone about two months ago, has been traced to Tupper Lake. Advices received here today by Chief of Police William C. Bell, state that a man who closely answers the description of Salisbury and who appeared at Tupper Lake about the time that Salisbury disappeared from Malone is working there for a lumber company under another name. Salisbury is about 42 years of age, married and resides in this city. Having not heard from him since Oct 28, Mrs. Salisbury and his employers put the case in the hands of the police to investigate. The Black River Paper Co. of Watertown has been exceedingly anxious to learn of his whereabouts since he disappeared.

1913 - Confident Salisbury is at Tupper Lake - Missing Agent There Under Name of Anderson
That Sherman S. Salisbury of Auburn, representative of the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Company of this city, who disappeared at Malone on Oct. 28, is at Tupper Lake working for the Emporium Lumber Company under the name of Anderson. There is little doubt according to information received by the authorities today. About two weeks ago inquiries in behalf of his family were made here for him. Before leaving this city for his trip northward, he left a board bill at the Woodruff House, which was not paid. Up to the time that he took employment with the local concern, it is claimed that Salisbury wrote his wife a letter every day, but since that time she has not heard from him. He bears an excellent reputation in Auburn, where he was a prominent church worker, and came here armed with the best of references when he sought employment with the Black River Paper Co. His family are anxious to secure his return and are bending every effort to that end, although neither his family nor...Read MORE...

1914 - Foul Play Feared - Sherman S. Salisbury Missing Over Two Months - Search is Unavailing - And Belief Is Growing Here And In Watertown That He Is Dead
Dispatches from Watertown announce that despite as systematic search for Sherman S. Salisbury of this city, who has been employed for some time as a traveling salesman for the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Company of Watertown, no trace of him has been found. The search has been in progress for about two months.

Salisbury disappeared mysteriously from Malone on October 28. Contrary to the first belief of his employers that he had absconded, there is a growing belief that he is dead and that is the belief of his wife and family in this city.

The Watertown dispatch says:

At the time that Salisbury disappeared he had $200 in money and about $700 in checks belonging to the local concern for which he traveled. After nothing had been heard from him for two weeks, John M. Hyde of this city, the controlling factor in the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Company, went over the route last covered by Salisbury and succeeded in invalidating the checks which Salisbury had...Read MORE...

Photograph of the man who disappeared so mysteriously is sent to Franklin County

A search has been begun for Sherman S. Salisbury the traveling representative of the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Company of this city, who disappeared at Malone on Oct 28, and it is probable that he will be placed under arrest within a few days on the charge of petit larceny or some minor offense.

1914 - Believes Husband Dead - Mrs. Salisbury Places No Credence In Reports That He Is Alive
Placing no credit in stories that have been circulated that her husband, Sherman S. Salisbury is alive and working at a lumber camp in the Adirondack Mountains near Tupper Lake, Mrs. Salisbury stated today that she had received no information that would lead her to believe that her husband, who has been missing since Oct. 28, was at any of the lumber camps in that district and that she placed no credence in any of the reports.

'John M. Hyde, head of the Black River Paper Company by which Mr. Salisbury has been employed has been all over the ground three times', said Mrs. Salisbury, 'and has been unable to locate Mr. Salisbury and if he was in that section as reported I know that I should have learned about it at once. I believe that Sherman if alive would write to me and let me know in someway where he was.'

Asked for her opinion as to a solution of the mystery, Mrs. Salibury replied: 'I believe that Mr. Salisbury is dead, the victim of foul play. I have believed this from the...Read MORE...

That Sherman S. Salisbury of this city, employed as a traveling salesman by the Black River Paper Company of Watertown, who disappeared mysteriously on October 28, is alive is the belief of his friends in this city, although Richard A.
