Pioneer Dakotan Dead
Grandpa Palmer has passed away. Death came at 11:30 P.M. May 14, 1923, at the home of his son B. F. Palmer and family of Wakapala (South Dakota)
Galutia Gardner Palmer was a pioneer of the Dakotas. He was born at South Bend, Indiana, May 22, 1845. He was at the time of his death 77 years, 11 months, and 22 days old. At the age of nine years he moved with his parents to Filmore County, Minnesota, at that time the frontier of the west.
He was a graduate of the Chatfield High School and entered the Hamlin University at the age of twenty years to prepare himself for a teacher. When twenty-three years he was united in marriage to Miss Isabelle Lemon. To this union eight children were born, six of which survive him. After his marriage he taught school for a number of years until his health failed him, when he took up farming.
In the spring of 1886, he with a few of his neighbors, came west to the Dakotas to look for a new location. They settled in Walworth County, where they filed on homesteads three miles north of where the town of Selby now stands. In the fall of 1886 he returned to Minnesota and in the spring of 1887 he came with his family to his homestead in Walworth County, where he lived until the fall of 1907 when he moved to Linton, North Dakota, where he successfully taught his last term of school at the age of 65 years.
Owing to failing health he moved to Wakapala to make his home with his son B. F. Palmer and family in the fall of 1918 and resided there until the time of his death.
Grandpa Palmer, as he was known to everyone, was a Christian man, entering the work of God early in life and continuing until death overtook him. He was a kind and loving husband and father, and while he was a man that did not know what fear was and always spoke what he thought. He made many friends where ever he went and was loved in his declining years by both old and young.
Those at his bedside when death came were Grandma Palmer, his son Cleve and two daughters, Gertrude and Della. There are six children, Mrs. Lula Smith, Auburn, Wash., Mrs. Gertrude Sherman, Haugen, Wis., Mr. A. B. Palmer, Piapot, Sask., Canada, Mrs. Mary Drayton, Linton, North Dakota, and B. F. Palmer of Wakapala, South Dakota. The other surviving relatives are two sisters and two brothers and twenty-nine grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the home and interment made in the Bethleham Cemetery near Selby.
