Obit - The Stevens Point Journal, Saturday, January 23, 1897
Mrs H. N. Parmeter
The funeral for Mrs. Hannah N. Parmeter, whose death occurred at her home at 512 Church Street on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, was held from the home Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. L. G. Carr of the Baptist church officiating. The deceased was in the 81st year of her age and death was the result of a general dissolution due to old age. She was confined to her bed for three weeks prior to her death. During her illness she was attended by her daughter, Mrs. Whithee.
Hannah N. Bragg was born in China, Maine, March 25, 1816, and was married to Caleb Parmeter of that town April 20, 1836. They lived on a farm in Maine until the spring of 1875, when they came to Stevens Point and shortly afterwards built their home on Church Street, where Mr. Parmeter died March 11, 1892 and where Mrs. Parmeter has resided ever since. Ten children were born to them in Maine, six sons and four daughters, of whom eight survive them, two daughters having died after reaching womanhood. The children are Allen, formerly of this city, but now of East Fairfield, Maine, Mrs. Rowena Jackson, now in Chicago, Seth of Plainfield, Mrs. A. J. Withee of Shakopee, Minn, Orin and Walter of this city, and Herbert and Alva of Ashland. All will be present at the funeral, except Allen and perhaps Mrs. Jackson, who is in very poor health and may be unable to attend.
Mrs. Parmeter, as well as her parents before her, was a Baptist and though for a number of years she has not been a regular church attendant on account of physical disabilities, she was an earnest Christian woman, possessing many endearing qualities.. She will be sadly missed in her own family, by whom she was so much loved and appreciated. Her home, which will now be broken up, has long been a place where her children and her many grand children loved to congregate.
