Miss Belle Palmer, died on Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock, aged just 21 years and one day, of consumption. This is the last of five children of the family of Harvey Palmer. Miss Palmer was a most lovely flower. The many tokens of affections exhibited towards her during her entire illness of near one year testify that she was beloved by all. Some one sent her some beautiful flowers and geraniums after the death of Wm. R. Taggart and she requested on Saturday evening that the freshest of them be sent to adorn the casket of Mr. Taggart. Her funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock p.m.
