ELIAS F. PALMER
[People’s Press, 12 September 1905]
There occurred on Sunday afternoon about three o’clock the death at his home on Beachin road of Elias F. Palmer, aged 79 years. Death was caused by gangrene, after an illness of five months. Mr. Palmer was a Liberal in politics and was councillor of Wainfleet for a term of four years, and at one time ran for reeve, but was defeated by a small majority. He was a descendent of Walter Palmer, who came out with the Pilgrims in the “Mayflower” and was the last living of eleven children. He has one son, Charles, of Wainfleet, and one daughter in Alabama. His wife predeceased him by a number of years. The funeral will be held today at one o’clock from his late residence on the Beachin road, thence to the Tunker church and thence to Willson’s burying ground, where interment will be made.
