Salina Kelly Camaish

Mrs. Salina Kelly Camaish, who with her husband Charles and family resided in Silver City for seven or eight years before her passing, died at her home after a brief illness, at the age of 50 years. She left her husband, a well-respected miner at the Trade Dollar mine, and three daughters, the youngest a bright girl of about 16. 

Charles was known “as the steadiest miner in the camp, having worked for the same company for more than seven years without missing a single shift until his wife was taken ill.” 

The couple married on the Isle of Man in England in 1876 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1878. The 1900 Census said she was the mother of six, three daughters, May, Velma, and Ivy, were still living at that time.  

Charles lived to be 68, passing in 1923 in Boise, and is buried at the Morris Hill Cemetery.
