Shirley,
I accidently found your inquiry about Salem Rupert.My great grandfather, Soloman Aaron Altman, left Elderton, Armstrong Co, Pa in March of 1875.During his trip to find land to homestead he kept a daily diary.On Sept. 9, 1875 he states that he left Atchinson, KS at 2:25 pm on the train and arrived at Monrovia after 3:00. From Monrovia he walked 2 miles south to Salem Ruperts. He stayed there a couple of days.I am assuming that this may be your Salem Rupert, but I have not been able to find any family connections with the Altman side.My great grandfather wrote to him quite often in the next several years.If I can find out any more information, I will try to get in touch with you. Or if you have anything that might tie him to the Altman family, please contact me.
