Sebastian Bass SALYER:

Born 7 December 1861, Fredville, Magoffin Co, KY
Died 9 November 1901, Paintsville, Johnson Co, KY
Buried Galdia, Magoffin Co, KY at Sebastian Salyer Cemetery⁶
Occupation: Deputy County Clerk
Birth: Licking Station referred to the area around Salyersville, KY. Before 1860, Morgan Co. (formed 1823) came to about the center of Salyersville. West of this line was Morgan Co. East of this line was Floyd Co.
Death: Sebastian died after being ambushed. The story is that he had a disagreement with someone during an election. Sebastian walked away and the other person followed him and stabbed him. "Bass" ultimately bled to death. Nothing was done about the knifing since the other fellow had relatives who had high official standing in Salyersville. You can't fight city hall!
Burial: This cemetery is located in the David Quadrangle - about 1-1/4 mile on right from mouth of Long Branch off KY 7. On 30 Aug 1997, Arnoldis "Noddie" SALYER Lamb and Laurie SCARPACE McKenzie climbed the mountain where their great grandfather, Sebastian "Bass" SALYER, is buried. The cemetery is so overgrown that they had to hack their way to it. As a matter of fact, they had to hack their way down from the road to the creek, first! Then they had to find rocks to walk on to get across the creek - and then fight through all kinds of brush - wild raspberries and roses - as they climbed up the hill to the cemetery. Laurie carried a golf club, in case of snakes, and her 'cemetery' bag filled with supplies: regular gardening tools including grass/weed shears and brushes and a kneeling pad. Shaving cream was used on the markers to read the faint writing. They even had to go through barbed wire, then find a way over the fence which was around the cemetery. Of all the times to not take a pair of jeans! Laurie wore the lined pants from a warm-up suit and borrowed a denim shirt! Even so, chiggers got to her. Sebastian's mother-in-law, Sally ALLEN, is there, too, as is his daughter, Susie. Eight people are buried there all tolled. Photographs of all of the markers were taken.
Census Date: 1900
Census Place: Salyersville, Magoffin Co, KY
At the time of the 1900 U.S. Census, S.B. owned his farm free and clear. He may have rented some of his land to an Allen family who could have been his wife's parents or brother. More research needs to be done. The only member of his family at that time who had schooling was Susie, who according to the census report was "at school." However, it was also noted that all members of the family were able to read, write and speak English.
