EDGAR PALMER, dentist, Main street, over post office, is a native of 
Woodstock, Vt., born May 7, 1840, son of Walter Palmer. Studied dentistry in 
his native place with Dr. Rice, and in Fitchburg, Mass., with Dr. Palmer. He 
afterward attended lectures at the dental school, Philadelphia. Practiced in 
Newport, Vt., from 1860 to 1866, except when in the army, and has practiced in 
La Crosse since March, 1866. Dr. Palmer made the first move toward the 
organization of the "Wisconsin State Dental Society," as he drew up a petition 
and traveled through the State to obtain the signatures necessary for that 
purpose. He was the first temporary President, and afterward permanent 
President of the society, which was organized in September, 1870. He has also 
been a member of the "American Dental Association" for several years, and, in 
1880, was elected an honorary member of the "Iowa State Dental Society." He is 
also a member of the La Crosse Board of Trade.
