PALMER - Mansfield Loses Valuable Citizen in The Death of Lewis M Palmer In the death of Lewis M. Palmer, Mansfield lost one of her truly valuable citizens. He was active in many of our local movements and won high respect and admiration from those with whom he associated. As was stated in the Advertiser last week, he was born in Rutland, July 25, 1874, and he came to Mansfield at the age of 33 and had since made his home here. He started in Mansfield when the First National Bank was organized, acting as assistant cashier until 1921, when he retired because of illness. He still kept his interest in the bank and acted as vice-president and president for many years, until 1932. Soon after coming to Mansfield he was made a Mason in Friendship Lodge and served in various offices. He was a member of the Royal Arch at Blossburg., the Consistory at Williamsport, and the Shrine at Wilkes-Barre. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and served some time as President of the Official Board. His interest in church and Sunday School affairs was well known to those connected with that church. He was one of the principal organizers of Prospect Cemetery Association, and started the perpetual care idea in it, as well as serving as its president. Although he never played golf, he was one of those to help start Corey Creek Golf Club in Mansfield, There are various projects and organizations in Mansfield with which he was identified in a practical way. He started his business career in Rutland with George and William Palmer, who were agents for the Westinghouse Threshing Machine Company. After coming to Mansfield he became interested in the Tioga Washed Sand & Gravel Co., of which he was half-owner and secretary. It was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Palmer that the Mansfield-Jobs Corners road was put through, he acted as a connecting link between Elmira, Rutland and the various townships involved. Of late years he has been connected with the Ford Agency in Mansfield. He was a trustee of Mansfield State Teachers College at the time of his death. Mr. Palmer was married in 1903 to Miss Blanche Hanyen, of Roseville, and one daughter, Louise, was born to them. Mrs. Palmer died in 1928. In 1929 he married Miss Bertha Roff, of Mansfield, who with his daughter survives him. Of his home life there can be no criticism He was a man of high principle and integrity and carried this into his home. He was a devoted husband and father and greatly enjoyed his family. The affection of his immediate family, and also of his uncle, George Palmer, was the envy of home-loving people. In his business affairs and his personal contact with people he showed himself to be a real man and a Christian. He was jovial, sincere and kind in all his dealings. The very largely attended funeral and the mass of floral offerings were a testimonial of the esteem in which he was held. The funeral was held from his late home Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the Rev. D. W. Baylis officiating, assisted by the Rev. R. D. Stanley. Burialwas in Prospect Cemetery, with the local lodge of Masons in charge. The bearers were Prof. G. B. Strait, Prof. Hugh Alger, Dr. W. R. Straughn, W. W. Allen, Charles Howe and Percy Coles.
