| Death |
17 Nov 1894 |
at his residence, Hampstead, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada [8, 9, 10] |
- "Albert PALMER, ex-M.P.P. for Queens Co., died at his residence, Hampstead, Wednesday. Mr. Palmer was first elected to the House of Assembly in 1881 and was again elected in 1886 and 1890. He did not offer for the present house. At the session of 1886 he was elected deputy speaker and during the two Houses satisfactorily discharged the duties of that office, as he had those of warden of the county before he went to the Legislature. Mr. Palmer was born at Hampstead and lived there all his life. For a long time he carried on business as a trader. He married in 1868 Miss Sheloh A. DURGAN of this city. In general politics he was a Liberal. He was probably on the sunny side of 60 years of age." (The Times). "The death of Albert PALMER, which took place at his home in Hampstead (Queens Co.) Saturday last, will be heard with regret. Mr. Palmer was a representative in the local Legislature from Queens Co. from 1882 to 1892, the last six years of which he filled the position of deputy speaker of the house. He also served his native county as councillor and warden. George PALMER, a son of the deceased, at present a clerk in the store of Heustis & White, was called home Saturday and only reached there a few hours before his father's death." (Kings County Record).
