P. PALMER, sexton of the Woodland Cemetery, is the son of Alvia and Rhoda
(Bordman) Palmer, natives of New York State; his father died when the son was
nine years old, and the mother is still living in Sanders County, New Brunswick,
at the age of seventy-eight years. The subject of this brief sketch was born in
Marion County, Ohio, November 18, 1837, and was ten years of age when his
widowed mother moved with him to Michigan, where he received three months
schooling. After a residence there of ten years, he moved to Illinois and lived
there eight years; then resided for a short time in New Brunswick, and finally,
in 1880, he came to California, since which time he has resided mostly in Yolo
County. He has 160 acres of land near Madison, and he has had the situation of
sexton of the present cemetery six years. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary
E. Fleming, is a native of Pennsylvania, and they were married in 1860, in
Mercer County, Illinois. Their two living children are: Adelia A. and Robert C,
and there are two deceased, Charles and Harry. Mr. Palmer is a member of Grafton
Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Lodge No. 215, A. O. U. W., and Post No. 65, G. A. R.
