HONORED RESIDENT REMOVED IN DEATH OF CAPT. PALMER
DEATH OCCURRED SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND FUNERAL WAS HELD TODAY
VETERAN HARDWARE MERCHANT OF CITY
Had Lived A Life of Usefulness To the Community — Enviable Civil War Record
Capt. J. A. Palmer, one of Washington's most beloved residents, died at his home on East Walnut Street Saturday afternoon, January 11, about 8:10 o'clock. He had been confined to his home for about six months but until very recently he has been able to move about his home and talk to his friends who called to see him. His death was due to a general wearing out of his constitution and not to any particular ailment with which he was afflicted. He was particularly fortunate, and often so, expressed himself, that he was not compelled to lay on a bed of suffering. He was conscious and rational until just a few hours before his death. Due to the fact that his vitality had been gradually waning for the last few weeks his death came as no surprise to relatives and friends.
Joshua A. Palmer was born in Harrison township, this county, in 1834 and had he lived until next March 23rd, he would have been 85 years old. His father, Mason Palmer, came from South Carolina and was an old time school teacher. The deceased was reared on the farm and in September, 1861, he enlisted in Co. G, 42nd Regiment the old Capt. McCarty company. He was chosen orderly sergeant and served as such nineteen months. He then was mustered in as first lieutenant and in November, 1864 as captain. The Forty-Second was in most of the principle battles of the war, among which, may be named Perryville, Blue River, Resaca, Buzzard's Roost, Mission Ridge, Chickamauga and Lookout Mountain. Capt. Palmer was wounded in the first battle and taken prisoner. He was paroled in a few hours however. The only battle he missed in which his company participated, was Chickamauga, he being home on sick furlough and joining his company the day after the fight. The captain marched with Sherman to the sea and served throughout the war.
After coming home from the war in 1869 he engaged in farming and operating threshing machines and it was one of his few boasts that he never allowed any man to feed more grain into a separator than he could.
In 1869 he moved to Washington and engaged in live stock buying his operation covering this and adjoining counties, and later he entered merchandising with William Farris and I. S. Morehead.
In 1878 he formed a partnership with E. L. Hatfield, the first store being in a frame building on the east side of East Third Street near South Street and near the present site of Mrs. Laube's south business room. Later they moved to a room on Main Street now occupied by Kellar & Willlams. Outgrowing this they erected a building on South and East Fourth Streets which was burned in 1897.
Following the fire Capt. Palmer moved into a new business home in Temple Court, he and E. F. Hatfield, M. N. Palmer, his son, and W. H. Hatfleld, incorporating the Hatfield & Palmer Company, as the firm exists today. His forty years business partnership with "Lish" Hatfield was unusual not only in term of years but in its fruitful ties of friendship and mutual veneration.
In 1855 Mr. Palmer married Sarah A. Vance, who died in 1856 and to this union was born one son, Mason C. Palmer, who died in 1903, leaving his widow and four children, Ethen Green, Kenner and John Palmer, all of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Fannie Luder, of this city, all of whom are still living.
In 1865 he married Emily Barber, who died in April, 1912. Four children were born to this union, two of whom died in infancy. The surviving children of this marriage are
Minnie Willey and M. N. Palmer, both of this city.
He also leaves two brothers, Mason R., and P. A. Palmer, of this city, and one sister, Lydia Vance, widow of George C. Vance, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. J. F. Palmer, of Springdale, Arkansas, and her four married children, several grandchildren in this city and two great grandchildren, in Indianapolis.
Capt. Palmer had a wide acquaintance in this and surrounding counties and it was a great delight in the last few years of his life to have these old acquaintances call on him and recount old times. One of his most cherished wishes in the past few months was that he might live to see the end of the World War.
Capt. Palmer was a member of the Masonic lodge and a life long member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In politics he was an ardent republican and retained his interest in all things political until the end of his days.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church this afternoon at 2 o'clock, interment being made at Oak Grove Cemetery.
