Died	10 May 1878 [2, 3, 6]
	Ezra Palmer died yesterday afternoon at 15 minutes of 5 o'clock, after a lingering illness of several weeks. He was 55 years old the 10th of March last, and had been a resident here since a boy 12 years old. He was a cabinet maker by trade, and a skillful, neat workman. For several years past his health has been very poor. Intense grief over the death of his daughters, two promising young ladies, about 5 years ago, made a great change in him, bleaching his dark hair to a grayish white, and reducing his condition to that of a feeble, premature old man. He was not a public man, in the general acceptation of the term, although he held at different times two or three official positions. Perhaps his life may have held mistakes or failings, yet we can charitably conclude they were rather of the head than the heart; for he was a man of tender, homely feelings, and pleasant, quiet ways. At the same time, many will remember him for numerous kind and friendly deeds. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W.S. Titus at the house, tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock. [3]
