Edward Salwey, 88,

Max, ND, formerly of

Minot, ND, passed away

by his family.

Edward was born De-

of John and Rose (Selzler)

Salwey, on the family

farm outside of Orrin, ND.

He was raised with his 12

siblings.

Edward lived and

worked on the family

farm until marrying Regi-

na Senger in 1953. He was

then drafted into the Unit-

ed States Army in 1956

and proudly served his

country while being sta-

tioned in Germany until

After returning to ND,

Edward moved to Minot,

jority of his life in the

construction industry,

the art of hand taping and

texturing. You can find

evidence of his craftsman-ship in many homes

throughout Minot and the

surrounding area.

where he made his home

with his family until the

time of his passing.
