Palmer, J. M., Russell, was born in Wilna, December 11, 1830, a son of Ichabod, a native of Vermont, who came to Jefferson county and there married Lura Cooley of that county, by whom he had eight children, six now living. Mr. Palmer and wife came to Russell in 1847, and took up four thousand acres of land near the village of Russell. Mr. Palmer was justice of the peace and highway commissioner of the town. J. M. Palmer, our subject, was born and reared on the farm, educated in the public schools, and being more than ordinarily studious, managed to become possessed of a good business education, and by a thorough course of reading became a well-informed man. At the age of seventeen he came to Russell and studied surveying with Benja- min Smith. He followed surveying several years, and has acted in that capacity on many occasions. In 1851 he engaged in the mercantile business in Russell, in which calling he has since been engaged, excepting two years spent on a farm. He has been a great loser by fire, having been twice burned out with no insurance on stores or con- tents. His lumber mills at Monterey were also burned, without insurance. He carries in his store a general stock of goods, with drugs and medicines. He is also a large real estate owner, having in the towns of Fine and Russell 2,500 acres of wild lands, and several dairy farms in Russell, and village lots and residences in Russell village. He owns the tub factory of Russell, also the lumber mills at Silver Hill. In April, 1851, he married Mary Van Ornum, daughter of Harry Van Ornum, who came with his pa- rents to Russell in 1813, and is now living at the age of ninety years. They have had five children : Celia G. (deceased), Morton J. (deceased), Harry F. (deceased), Alden L.,
