Oren Parmeter
Oren Parmeter, who came to Stevens Point shortly after the close of the Civil War, in which he served as a member of a Maine regiment for a period of two years, and who had been a resident of this city much of the time since, passed away at St. Michael's hospital at 11:20 Wednesday night. For nearly three years, he and Mrs. Parmeter lived at Wisconsin Veteran's Home, near Waupaca, but five weeks ago Mr. Parmeter's health became so poor that he was brought to the local hospital and the day after his arrival underwent a major operation. Because of advanced age and his generally weakened condition, the patient failed to rally and gradually declined until the end.
Mr. Parmeter was a native of Unity, Maine, born there 81 years ago on 22nd of September and continued to make his home in the Pine Tree state until the early sixties when he enlisted for war services and took part in several engagements before being stricken with black measles. He was then given an honorable discharge. Sometime after his health was restored, the young sholdier was married at Bangor, Maine, to Miss Elzura Stone, the couple going to Massschusetts where Mr. Parmeter secured work in a lumber mill. While thus employed, he met with an accident that nearly cost him one of legs. When his wound healed sufficiently, Mr. and Mrs. Parmeter came to Wisconsin and for a brief time were located in Stevens Point. They then moved to Wausau, living in that city for more than ten years. In 1876 they came back here and practically all the time since, the family home had been at 524 Church Street.
During the earlier years of his residence in this city, Mr. Parmeter operated a grocery store on South Division street, the present Cutting and Lang stand. He owned this property and other valuable holdings throughout the city.
Besides his widow, who is in very poor health, he leaves two daughters and a son, Mrs. J. A. Versen, of Sherveport, Louisiana, Mrs. J. F. Chynoweth of Calumet, Michigan, and Oren Parmeter Jr. of Eldorado, Arkansas. The son and his wife reached Stevens Point last night, a couple of hours after the passing of his father. The deceased also leaves one brother, Alva Parmeter of Minneapolis.
Rev. C. H. Phillips, assisted by Rev. James Blake will conduct services at Boston Funeral Home at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Intermet will then be made in Forest cemetery. Friends are requested to omit flowers.
