He was a successful farmer and also a practicing veterinary surgeon until his health failed. He came to this country when it was a raw prairie and was instrumental in many of its improvements. His life was lived for the good of others. He accepted Christ and united with the Mennonite church early in life and remained faithful to the end. Altho he was a great sufferer in his last illness, he bore it all patiently.

——————————————
One of four Anabaptist families living at Haras:

Michel Saltzmann and his wife Catherine Weiss came from Petit-Tenquin (57) in 1795. Two of their children were born at the Haras: one in 1795, who married in 1827 at Val-de-Guéblange (57), and another in 1800 that died the day after his birth. One son born in 1780 in Petit-Tenquin, Michel the young, married March 3, 1804 at Sarralbe to Hirschy Catherine, daughter of Pierre and Agnès Hirschy Farny. The couple had a child in 1804 who does not appear on the birth certificate. He probably left Sarralbe after that date, perhaps to the Val-de-Guéblange with parents and Michel’s brothers.
