History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio
Warner, Beers & Co., 1884

        JACOB PALMER, farmer, P.O. Bolivar, was born May 19, 1827, son of
Charles and Susan (Fisher) Palmer, who emigrated from Pennsylvania and
settled near Sandyville in the autumn of 1830, and one and a half years
later came to the farm now occupied by Jacob. It is pleasantly located on
an elevation, and the grounds are now beautified by the labor of its owner
with flowers and shrubbery. The country was then quite new, only a clearing
and log cabin here and there. Everything was made of wood, even the nails.
Charles Palmer was a member of the Untied Brethren Church. He had only a
limited education, but gave his children all the advantages the times
afforded. The Testament and United States spelling book were the principal
books used. Jacob Palmer, the subject of this sketch, was one of six
children, five of whom are now living. He was married, December 2, 1849, to
Barbara A. Shue, one of two children, she having a sister Margaret, and a
native of Ohio. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Palmer are Philip C.,
Principal of the Sparta Normal School; Lucy A. and Sarah Melissa, also a
teacher. Mr. Palmer is a member of the Lutheran Church, and in politics is
a Republican.
