She had been in poor health and quite despondent for some time and though there seemed no reasonable apprehension of danger, her family and friends were quite unable to dispel the gloom that had gathered around her heart – so true it is that “coming events cast their shadows before.” She seemed constantly impressed with the monition that her earthly pilgrimage was soon to close and frequently assured her family that she would never again be well in this life. Since the above report, Mrs. Palmer’s premature infant, John R. Palmer, died 20 Jul, aged 16 days. He was buried beside his mother. EP 29 Jul 1880
