NELLIE,
Dau. of John & Sarah J. Palmer
Died Feb. 3, 1863
AG 3yrs, 7ms,5ds
She was the sunshine of our home
An angel to us given,
Just when we learn to love her most
God calls her back to heaven.
Carrie Ellen "Nellie" Palmer was born and died in Bridgton, ME, the first to be interred in this cemetery. Daughter of John and Sarah Jane (Burnham) Palmer of Bridgton. "Nellie" was raised in the farmhouse across the street from this cemetery. She died young, at the age of three, when her clothes caught fire.
(NOTE: Her original, white marble stone had been removed by family after other family members were interred there and monuments were added in all the same style. Most likely her white one removed to avoid future confusion with the nickname-style of the other monuments. The white stone had been stored many years in the basement of the Palmer/Burnham homestead across the street; rediscovered recently by the present owners and mounted behind her smaller stone by the Ingalls family for posterity.)
