The rolling acres he cleared, and the splendid walls of stone, marking off his fields are silent, but forceful speakers of his industry and thrift. In 1880, the farm passed into the hands of Hon. A. W. Gilman, one of Foxcroft's foremost Agriculturists who not only kept up the work of Mr. Holmes, but added. To this day the name of "Salmon Holmes" is often heard, and many tributes paid it.
