Death of Mrs. Palmer
It is rarely Weymouth has had so many sudden deaths in sad succession as
have occurred in now one family, now another during the course of this winter.
On Monday evening last without any apparent warning, Mrs. Palmer passed
suddenly and peacefully away. The deceased lady had for some weeks previous
to her death been in a precareous state of health and at the last owing to the
contraction of a cold, an attack of Bronchopnemonia set in, but a couple of
days before her demise she showed every indication of a rapid recovery. Only
a couple of hours defore she died, her daughter, Mrs. Douglas Campbell, was
in attendance upon her, and left her with great hopefulness regarding her
condition.
Mrs. Palmer was well known to many, indeed to all Weymouthians. Her
engaging manners and christian character made her a great favorite with all
who had the good fortune to count her as an acquaintance.
Mrs. Palmer was the daughter of Col. John A. Glidden, of Newcastle, Maine.
She married Alpheus T. Palmer who afterwards became a Captain in the American
army. During the Mexican war, in which he singly distinguished himself, he
bore the rank of 1st Lieutenant, and at the close was promoted to Captain.
Captain Palmer was well known in Weymouth and his body lies buried in the
Church of England graveyard; and the body of his wife now reposes beside him.
The funeral took place on Thursday, having been delayed till the arrival of
her sons Caleb and John, the former of whom is employed on R.P.O. staff on the
Bangor and Aroostook Railway. The latter resides in New York.
The deceased lady had attained the ripe age of 74 and until her late
illness was the picture of health, and being possessed of a very bright and
cheerful disposition few thought her so old.
The sympathy of the whole community are with the family in their sudden
bereavement.
