Salmon B. HEBARD was born 15 November 1835, son of Hon. William HEBARD, and 
was educated at the Orange County [Vermont] grammar school of Randolph, and 
at Chelsea Academy [Orange County]. He entered into his father's office as a 
law student when he was nineteen years of age, but at twenty-one was 
appointed clerk of Orange County court and held that office until 1860. He 
was admitted to the bar in 1861. In the fall of 1861 he enlisted and was 
made second lieutenant of the First Vermont Light Battery and served in the 
Department of the Gulf until November 1863, when he returned to Chelsea and 
resumed legal practice, soon forming a partnership with his father which 
continued until the death of the latter. He [Salmon B.] has been town agent 
ever since 1857, and deputy clerk of Orange County court most of the time 
since 1860, and on the death of Hon. L. G. HINCKLEY in 1887 was appointed 
clerk. In 1880 he was elected state's attorney for Orange County and in 1884 
senator. Mr. HEBARD is an earnest, reliable man of good judgment and ability.
