Reedsburg:

Dr. N. W. Sallade, born in Dauphin Co., twenty miles north of Harrisburg, Penn., on the 5th of September, 1817. He was married at Jersey Shore, Lycoming Co., Penn., on the 9th of February, 1841, to Miss Sarah H. Stewart, who was born at Bellefonte, Penn., Oct. 7, 1817. Dr. Sallade came to Wisconsin in 1854; decided upon Narrows Prairie, Wis., as a good location, and settled there in 1856. For five years, he devoted himself to farming and the practice of his profession. In 1861, he began mercantile business in company with E.H. Newell, Esq., and, without abandoning his profession, continued in this business until the spring of 1862, when he sold out his interest in the firm. Almost immediately thereafter, however, he recommenced the same employment with Eleazer Newell, a half-brother of his former partner. In the winter of 1864, he bought property in Reedsburg, and, in January of 1865, removed to that town, and began mercantile business there. In the fall of 1868, he opened a drug store in Reedsburg; in 1877, this store was destroyed by fire, but he rebuilt and continued at the same place until the winter of 1878, when he sold out, and, buying the Mansion House from Mr. Ingalls, changed the name to that of the Sallade House; in company with his son, he is still carrying on this hotel. Dr. Sallade's family consists of three children, all of whom were born in Lycoming Co., Penn; his eldest, William A., born April 2, 1842; Andrew W., born Feb. 9, 1845; Mary Emma, born March 9, 1849. Dr. Sallade is a member of the Presbyterian Church, in which body he has held the position of Trustee; he was for some time Chairman of the Village Board. He is a member of the Masonic brotherhood.
