On Thursday evening, Feb 16, a very pleasant surprise was tendered Hiram Palmer of this borough by the members of the First Baptist church, in honor of his 90th birthday. About 100 members and friends gathered in the church auditorium and listened to a program of music and old songs. The pastor of the church gave a few fitting remarks, then presented Mr. Palmer with a birthday book in which was written the names of those present. After a few interesting stories of his earlier days by Mr. Palmer, the sashes were thrown open and in the side room of the church, which was tastefully decorated, the guests enjoyed a bucet luncheon. A very pretty sight was the birthday cake with its 90 red candles. “Daddy” Palmer, as he is affectionately called by most of us, was taken completely by surprise, and seemed to enjoy the evening as well as any present. Tho in his 90th years he is hale and hearty and as the pastor of the church expressed it, “We hope that then years from tonight we can meet again like this in honor of your 100th birthday.” – Shinglehouse Mail.

He can relate many interesting events especially those of his early and middle life. On this occasion he spoke of witnessing the remarkable falling of stars in 1834, also of voting for his first president James K. Polk. One of the features of the day was a shower of post cards which he was able to read and enjoy. Mr. Crandall was born in Tioga Co. during James Monroe’s administration. When one considers that our new republic, extending as far west as the Mississippi at that time, had just achieved a sound, financial basis for the first time and that we were entering upon our first season of real, prosperity, it is interesting to note the wonderful changes which have taken place in our country during this one lifetime.
