Dr. John Salee, who was well known to many of our citizens, having studied medicine with Dr. Loomis, some years ago, died on his way home from Kansas, on Wednesday evening last. Dr. Salee had been ailing for the past year or two with the consumption, and about a year ago, thinking a change of climate would be beneficial, he went to Kansas, but of no avail; he gradually declined, and realizing the near approach of death, he desired to come home. His family who were with him started for this place, hoping he might arrive safe, but, alas, the fatigue of the journey was too much for his feeble constitution, and when almost home he quietly breathed his last. Mr. Salee was an honorable and highly respected gentleman and physician. He was in the 42nd year of his age.
