Ionia Sentinel Standard – 5 March 1914
Palmer, Floyd
DOD:  27 February 1914

Floyd Palmer, a former resident of Hubbardston, died of hemorrhage of the 
brain at his home near Paris, Mich., Feb. 27, 1914.  He was born in Marcellus, 
Onondaga county, N. Y., Jan. 24, 1830.  In 1837 he came with his mother, Mrs. 
Elizabeth Palmer to North Plains township, where he lived except two brief 
periods, until 1881 when he removed to the home which he has just left 
desolate.  Much of that time he lived in Hubbardston, being one of the 
earliest residents of that village.

In 1858 he married Eliza North of Saline, Mich., who died in 1904.  Of the six 
children born to them, a son and two daughters survive.  He also leaves eight 
grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

He has been a man of remarkable vigor and was able last year to care for a 
ginseng garden of considerable size, besides doing other light out-of-door 
work.  His often expressed wish that he “might die in the harness,” was nearly 
fulfilled as he did not give up work entirely till a week before his death.
