Obituary- Palmer, Sally

With the passing of Mrs. Chas. S. Palmer, who died October 15, in Golden, Colo., where she had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Mamie Bruner, the last of the first settlers of Silver Lake is gone. Her daughter, Mamie, was the first white child born in Silver Lake, and is the only surviving member of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Palmer came from Illinois to Silver Lake in April, 1868, and were the parents of five children -- three boys and two girls. They owned the land east of Madore street and it was known as the Palmer addition. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer donated the land for both the Baptist and Methodist churches and also for the grade school. Mr. Palmer died June 16, 1905 at the age of 76 years. Mrs. Palmer lived to be 95. Mrs. Bruner and her husband brought the body to Silver Lake. Funeral services were held in the Baptist church, of which she was a member. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Brown, pastor of the Methodist church, at 1:30 o'clock, Thursday, October 17, 1929. Interment was in the Silver Lake cemetery. -E.R.
