Salome Remshart, when she was about 9 years old, while picking berries, became lost in the woods and was found 14 days later by Captain John Martin Dasher. She survived by eating berries and finding puddles to drink water from. The story I was told was that she heard a shot from the hunting party of Capt Dasher and she started yelling "Come find me!"  

Salome was born in 1776 and died in 1854.  She married George Heidt on July 2, 1795.

There is a spinning wheel in the Museum at Ebenezer that belonged to Salome.
