Muriel de Silva / Salgado family


 Muriel de Silva as a child with her mother, Mrs. Don Davit around 1905.


 Muriel de Silva with husband, M. Simon Salgado, around 1930

Muriel de Silva / Salgado was the youngest daughter of Don Davit. In her teens she would have observed at first hand the many charitable & religious activities undertaken by her father & mother. It was therefore not surprising that she was imbued with the same religious fervour & she together with her husband became one of the chief benefactors of the Mettarama Temple on Lauries Rd. Bambalapitiya. Their children too followed the  example set by their own parents.. She also took a keen interest in the affairs of the German Dharmaduta Society .
