Mrs. Minna B. Palmer passed away at her home near Rickreall, Oregon, January 16, 1914, at the age of 58 years after a lingering illness of many months. Mrs. Palmer was born at Saulfeldt [Saalfeld], Germany, September 20, 1855. She came to America in 1889 and was married to William Palmer the following year at Valentine, Nebraska. Three children were born to this union, Earnest H., Willis C., and Christel E.
The three children and husband survive her. She was a devoted member of the Lutheran Church all her life, also a kind and loving mother, a true and sincere friend and neighbor, loved by all who knew her. Her death was deeply mourned by all the family.
In 1912 the family moved from Nebraska to Oregon, where the children are living at present.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Hendry at the home, Tuesday morning, January 20, where kind friends had gathered to show last respects to the departed one.
