Born in Tams, WV April 20, 1937, I was raised by my Grandparents, Andrew, and Georgia Marsh, for the first six years of my life. At age six I moved in with my Mother and Cecil Sturgill in Midway WV attending School at Sophia, WV. When I was sixteen, I married Haskel Salmon, a sailor at the time, and in 1963 we got our first appointment to Pastor at Jennings MD.
