Her parents were Howard and Mary Delight (Howe) Boylan.

On her mother's side of the family, Mrs. Salinger traced her ancestry back to Resolved White, her great-great-grandfather, who came to this country on the Mayflower.

Salinger, was associated with him until the elder Mr. Salinger became a Supreme Court justice and the son joined J.J. Meyers and the late C.E. Reynolds in the law firm of Salinger, Reynolds & Meyers.
