At Alfred, N. Y., Dec. 28, 1899, Mrs. Julia Palmiter, aged 61 years, 9 months and two days.
Sister Palmiter died suddenly, and without warning, while riding in a sleigh, returning from Alfred to her home. She was born March 26, 1838, and was the daughter of Cyrus and Jemimah Terwilliger. In early womanhood she turned to keep the Sabbath, and was baptized by Eld. N. V. Hull, uniting with the First Alfred church. In 1863 she joined the Second Alfred church, where she remained a faithful member until her death.
She was married Dec. 3, 1854, to George J. Palmiter. To them were given five children: Mrs. Ella Calkins, who lives in Indiana; Mrs. Carrie Tacy (deceased); Mrs. Minnie Whitcomb, of St. Mary's, Ohio; Ed. Cyrus and Silas Fred Palmiter, of Alfred Station. One brother, Amos Terwilliger, of Karr Valley, and one sister, Mrs. Carrie Sisson, of Almond, also survive.
The funeral was held from the Second Alfred church, on Sunday at 2 P. M., a very large concourse of people being in attendance. Sister Palmiter was greatly loved by all, and highly respected for her noble and generous Christian character. F. E. P.
