They were the parents of Henry. After her death, he married Mary Ellen Winans, her sister, on 1 OCT 1868 in Milford township, Crawford county, Iowa. They were the parents of George, Catherine, Grace, and Frank. Civil War Vet. Co. D Northern Border Brigade Slater, Solomon W. Age 24. Residence Denison, nativity New York. Enlisted Oct. 3, 1862. Mustered Oct. 3, 1862. Mustered out Feb. 4, 1863. Solomon W. Slater was of Holland descent, his forebears being among the early settlers of the Colony of New York. He was born in Ulster county, New York, September 15th, 1838. His mother died when he was but twelve years of age and in 1854 he came with his father James Slater, to Crawford county, where he lived the remainder of his life. The trip to the great west was a large undertaking in those days. The family went by boat to Albany, thence to Buffalo by rail, then by boat to Chicago, by rail to Rock Island and thence by wagon across the prairies to this county. Mr. James Slater settled on Sec. 10 of East Boyer township and the home soon became famous for its hospitality, a reputation which the family has fully sustained for more than half a century in the little log cabin built where the Slater home now stands. Solomon W. Slater passed the days of his young manhood. He withstood all the hardships of pioneer life and laid the foundations of that sturdiness of character that remained with him to the end. In those days Council Bluffs and Sioux City were the nearest market points and young Slater found it his task to make the overland trips for the family provisions. At the age of seventy-two, his father died, but he left his son already well equipped for the duties and the trials of life. Mr. Slater remained on the old place, improving it, building up a home, providing for his children and earning a place in the community which shall stand as the best possible monument to his memory. At the age of twenty-seven he was married to Miss Sarah Winans, a daughter of Clark Winans, another whose name is indissolubly linked with Crawford's early history. To this union one son, Henry, was born. The wife and mother died in 1865 and three years later Mr. Slater married Mary Winans, a sister of his former wife. Never was a home circle more happy and complete, the little ones grew up, grew to manhood and to womanhood, grew in the presence of their parents love into a maturity which was the pride of their father and their mother's hearts. Mr. Slater took great joy in his family and his home and no patriarch of old had more loving children to surround him. He was blessed in them and his good wife, and they are blessed in him and in his memory. We sympathize deeply with his sorrowing loved ones. This is the first time for more than forty years that death has visited them and their hearts are heavy with grief. The immediate family consists of his loving and faithful wife; Henry, whose home adjoins the old place in East Boyer, George, who has lived at the old home, Mrs. A. J. Barrow of Vail, Mrs. E. E. Griffin of Coleman, S. D., and Frank, who also remained in East Boyer near his father's side. To all of these we extend our sympathy but we cannot refrain from congratulating them that they had such a father and that he was spared to them so many years.
