  CHARLES G. PALMATEER, farmer, P. O. Morea. Of men who have made farming a
success in this county, this man is surely one; he was born August 15, 1820, in
New York, son of John Palmateer, born in New York, farmer; fought under George
Washington in the Revolutionary war; he married Elizabeth Quimby, who was mother
of thirteen children. Our subject was a blacksmith in Cincinnati, Ohio, for
seventeen years. He settled in this county in 1856, and was married here October
21, 1858, to Mary L. Young, born December 15, 1835, in Hamilton County, Ohio;
she is a daughter of Robert and Sarah (Gogin) Young, who were born in New
Jersey. Mrs. Palmateer is the mother of six children—Phebe E., wife of William
Jackson, and mother of one son, Charles E. (Mrs. Jackson died January 2, 1881);
Joseph C., born July 18, 1861; Sarah E., born November 10, 1863; Effie May, born
May 13, 1866, she died March 15, 1869; Anna J., born May 20, 1868, and Lily A.,
born February 8, 1871. Mr. and Mrs. Palmateer and three children are members of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. His brothers, Edward and Nathaniel, were
soldiers in the late war; the former was afterward a sailor for twenty years,
and finally killed on the Hudson River. He has a fine farm of 240 acres of good
land, to the cultivation of which he gives considerable attention. Mr. Palmateer
has been identified with the Republican party.
