The Painesville Telegraph dated 8 Sep 1881 page 3
Died-PALMER-In Madison, August 28th, 1881, after a painful and protracted illness of over a year, Mr. Cullen Palmer, aged 69 years.
The deceased was one of Madison's most respected and influential citizens. Having lived in Madison during the past 40 years, he aided materially in the upbuilding of the town and society, and won to himself many friends and acquaintances. He was born in Concord, Ohio, in 1812; was a son of Dr. Isaac Palmer of that place and a descendant of Walter Palmer, who came from Nottinghampshire, England, with the pilgrims, and settle in 1653 in Stonington, Conn., where a family reunion of his descendants was held and largely attended the present year. While living in Concord the deceased, in company with Mr. Robert Murray, now of Mentor, bought and sold cattle extensively, buying them in that vicinity and driving them overland in large droves across the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains to Philadelphia, where they were sold. The hardship and enterprise of the business then being far different than now, when the herds of cattle are transported by rail. While living in Madison, he devoted his energies to farming, buying and selling cattle for the Buffalo and home market. At the age of 52, soon after the death of his son, he united with the Congregational Church. During his sickness he bore his suffering with patience and died trusting in Christ's mercy and his atoning blood. He leaves a wife, three sons and a daughter, who deeply mourn his loss.
