Ionia Standard, 9 Oct 1885

Mrs. Asa Palmer died at her home Oct 1st, 1885, aged 65 years.  For many weeks 
she had been watching and waiting for the summons, for old age had brought its 
several warnings.  Her life has always been an active one, toiling from the 
sunrise of youth, to the sunset of old age.  Nine children survive her, six 
sons and three daughters.  She was one of the earliest settlers in this 
township, having resided here for 48 years.  All through her illness she was 
unwavering in her firm attachment to the Christian principles which were the 
guide of her life, making every arrangement for her final departure.  Her 
virtues are enshrined in the memory of all who knew her.  She was a kind and 
loving mother, and her death will be greatly missed, not only by her children, 
but by a large circle of friends.  Her presence will be greatly missed in the 
home circle, and at the fireside, and the echo of her cheery voice will often 
float down the silent aisles of memory.
