Susan Palmer & Octave F. Dubuque

Susan Palmer & William Cole

Susan Palmer & Peter Carey

FAMILY LORE

Susan Palmer immigrated from England with her parents, at about age fourteen, in 1857, to St. Louis MO. She married three husbands: Octave Dubuque/Debucue, William Cole and Peter Carey. She and Octave had a family of four or five children and were probably married late in 1860. Octave Debucue [Dubuque] died in 1868.

Susan married William Cole, and in 1870, they were in Malad City, Idaho where Alice Susan Cole was born.  William Cole and brother-in-law Joseph Palmer bought the ranch from Joseph's father. It wasn't long until Cole became discouraged, so he packed up and left his wife & children, probably late in 1870.  Susan then sold her part of the farm and she and her children went back to Nebraska to be with her parents, John & Eleanor Palmer.  This is William and Susan's log cabin as it existed in the 1990's, on the south side of Samaria Lane west of Malad, ID, on land presently owned by Tom Palmer.

William Cole wrote this lament and left it on the table for Susan at the time he left her, referring to her as "Anna," probably for Susanna.

GRASSHOPPERS AND CRICKETS

by William Cole, Year 1870

"Things look desperate and awfully sad,
For we are just about to bury the city of Malad.
Their long melancholy faces with their sad frowns
To watch the last shovelful thrown on the town.
Then there will be weeping and wailing and nashing of teeth–
If the revelation fails to find them relief.
Oh! What a burying it would be,
It would break many a heart
Then boys from their true lovers will have to depart.
They will wander to the valley among sage brush and thickets,
And leave old Malad to the grasshoppers and crickets.

"They must throw aside lying and other deceit
For the devil may take them all in a heap.
Remember old Malad has drawn its last breath
And all we can do is to announce the great death.
For the devil has charmed them by some unknown spell
And the first thing we know we are heaped up in hell.
If the people don’t try to make some resistance
I will bid farewell and disappear in the distance.
I will unfurl my sails and hoist my banner,
And bid farewell to my own dear Anna.
For I think from our move we are the devil’s relations,
And he can’t help us by his revelations.
And all we can do is to buy our traveling ticket,
And leave old Malad to the grasshoppers and crickets."

Late in life, Susan married Peter Carey, a drayman who hauled freight and mail from the train depot in Peru, Nebraska. A family story indicates that Peter Carey might have attended or graduated from Harvard University and that he was bearded and sloppy in his dress. His biography is given below.   One census indicated Susan had divorced Peter Carey and that she was living with two of her Dubuque sons in Peru. This is where she died.

A biographical note, 1904, indicated a "son-in-law" of John Palmer Sr. had already located in Oneida Co.  Kathryn Jones Cannon noted, "The only son-in-law known to have lived in Malad was William Cole, but since the Snake River runs thru Idaho, I guess it's possible Octave Dubuque was in Idaho before the Palmer's."

Kathryn J. Cannon wrote: ".... Apparently the father, Octave Dubuque, was not buried in Smithfield. Uncle Jenkin says Octave was drown while crossing the Bear River at Hampton's Ford, which is very near Fielding, Utah so perhaps Octave was buried in Fielding (if his body was recovered).

This affidavit, which is probably false, is based on a "modified" marriage certificate copy implying "Jesse Woodson James" married "Susan Palmer."  This is the work of Susan's greatgrandson Charles E. Mason who probably had an obsession about the surname Cole and the maternal lineage of Jesse James, the outlaw.  Both Jesse James and Charles E. Mason died in St. Joseph, MO.

It is interesting to note (1) Susan reverted to Dubuque surname, (2) she was earning her living with a restaurant.  Later her daughter, Alice Susan Cole Mason, would do the same in Oklahoma about 1908, and her grand-daughter, Beulah Mason Armstrong, would also do that in Peru, NE about 1940.   According to Twilla Mason Hager, Susan Dubuque was probably living in the 800 or 900 block of Sixth St. south of California St.

Peter Carey
[b. abt 1838, d. 1925]

"Old-timers and students of the Normal [School which became Peru State College] will remember Peter Carey, the drayman who carried mail from the depot to the post office and hauled trunks and suitcases up Normal Hill to the dormitory and various rooming houses.

"Carey was born in Pike County, Illinois, and served four years, two months, in the Union Army as a Company Sergeant. His regiment was captured at Holly Springs, Mississippi, and Peter was the last man to be taken. After capture, he was confined to the hospital with a peculiar southern fever which caused him to sleep during the daytime. He was cured only by a change in climate. He was discharged on September 25, 1865.

"He came to Peru [Nemaha Co., NE] in 1869 and served thirty years as drayman and mail carrier. In early times, a bridge crossed the creek just south of the drugstore at Fifth and Park, Carey's team ran away with him, and he was thrown out, right at the bridge. For two months he was unconscious, often given up for dead; for two months more he was confined to bed, but his indomitable spirit refused to give up, and he resumed work. It may have been the result of the runaway or some later accident, but when I knew him, he used a crutch to get around.

"Peter and Susan Debuque [sic Dubuque Cole née Palmer, daughter of John and Elener Doves Palmer], a sister of John and Phillip Palmer, were married in 1888. They had no children of their own, but they adopted a son, Ezra, a grandson of Mrs. Carey. Ezra, who had a crippled arm [crushed and amputated midway between elbow and shoulder in a freight handling accident], was in various businesses here for many years.

"The Careys owned farm land east of Peru, where the old river bed and docks were located. It was (and still is) somewhat swampy. A large pond, called Pete's Pond, extended across the present road to the old city dump in what is now the town farm. the pond was what was left of the old river bed that ran through the site when Peru was founded."

1925: Action for Possession of Land
A case was tried in the County Court last week for the possession of land formed by accretion along the Missouri River near Peru.  The case was brought by Ezra Carey and Ellis Good, guardian for Peter Carey, against Octavius Dubuque who now claims the land is his by right of possession.  The case was tried on the 15th, but a decision has not been rendered as yet.
Ref: Nemaha County Hearld [Nebr], 1925 ?

1930:

1940: Ezra & Marie Frances Lord Carey (daug. of Thomas J. and Mary Harris Lord; uncle Charles A. Lord) owned a farm just east of Peru on Olive St. on the west of Buck Creek. This land was between a creek near the railroad track  and Olive St. further north. It had a house, barn and corncrib. The land had been owned by Peter Carey.  They also owned an 80 acre farm NW of Auburn about 2.5 miles. Both of these farms were rental property. This was in the period from 1935 to 1950 and they probably lived at Nebraska City.

ELIZABETH A. DUBUQUE

FAMILY LORE

Elizabeth Ann Dubuque was the first born, and possible twin, to Octave/Susan Dubuque.  Note, there was no Elizabeth child with Susan Palmer Cole in the 1870 ID Census.

CHRONOLOGY

1861: Elizabeth Ann Dubuque (b. Oct 4, 1861) to Octavis/Susan Dubuque in St. Louis, MO and "blessed" on 18 March 1862 by Thomas Stater/Slater.  This child probably died before 1870 since she is not among the names that year.
Verified by KCJ: LDS Early Church Records, St. Louis Branch, 1849-1862, pg 34.   Microfilm #0001945.

Notice, there is no Elizabeth Ann Dubuque in the 1870 nor 1885 census.

MINNIE DUBUQUE & EDGAR PARRIOTT
MINNIE PARRIOTT & ? WHITFIELD

FOLK LORE

Minnie Dubuque's middle name may have been Alphonsa which could imply the existance of an Alphonse Dubuque [Note: Minnie Lukaday Felminnie Alfonzo]. Based on the birth place of Edgar Parriott, that line came from Iowa to Nemaha Co. after 1861.  His father, Wm. C. Parriott [Jr.] was born in West Virginia and his mother in Iowa.  This couple could be in the Iowa 1860 Census.  Further, implies a Wm. C. Parriott Sr. in West Virginia or along the migration path prior to 1860.

FAMILY LORE

For the moment Arthur F. Dubuque and Octavius F. Dubuque Jr. are combined to simplify their analysis.

A tombstone at Mt. Vernon Cem. gives O. F. Palmer.  It is uncertain if Arthur F. Dubuque and O. F. or Octave F. Dubuque Jr. are the same person with spelling of the first name mixed up due to an error.  Note, there was no Arthur child with Susan Palmer Cole in the 1870 ID Census, 1885 NE Census.

1909: Maria Williams, of Malad, said one of her Grandfather Joseph's favorite stories was this-- (It happend after Joseph's first wife died but before he married Charlotte, between June 1908 and Mar 1911).  Very late one night a knock came on his door. Joseph got up, answered the door and found a stranger standing there. The stranger asked if he was Joseph Palmer. Joseph confirmed that he was and the man said, "I am your brother, John." Since it had been around 40 years since the two brothers had laid eyes on one another, Joseph needed proof.  He said "If you're my brother John you have a scar on a certain part of your anatomy." John produced the scar and the brothers were reunited after so long a separation.  Cousin Maria said it was always her understanding that this picture is of John and Joseph and was taken in Malad during John's  visit.

Mrs. George Palmer [Martha Parish] passed away at the family home, 1202 Seventh street Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Palmer had been in failing health for a long time, and while everything possible was done in the way of treatment, nursing and tender care, the end gradually grew nearer intil the moment came when she heard and heeded the summons of death. Her passing has brought deep sorrow to the hearts of many friends throughout the community and in their deeper personal sorrow the bereaved family has the symphathy of all these friends.

Martha Parish was born in Monroe, Iowa December 7, 1855 [Friday] and moved with her parents to Peru in 1865. She attended school there and afterward became a member of the first class to be enrolled at the Peru Normal School which had just been founded in 1866. She recalled many vivid recollections of the early days at the school which has become one of the chief institutions of learning in Nebraska. She also recalled the earthquake that shook this part of Nebraska in 1866. She was able to recount many other interesting experiences in the early times and her conversation was always interesting and instructive, especially to the younger people.

In 1878 [sic m. Oct 30, 1879] she married to Geo. Palmer at Nebraska City and they moved to a farm near Peru where they lived until 1881 when they came to Auburn to make their home. Mrs. Palmer was a woman endowed with very fine traits of character. In the home and among friends and neighbors she weilded a strong influence to every worthy cause. She was a charter member of the Auburn Methodist church and her christian life was a beautiful exemplification of the faith that she had professed. She was also a member of the Royal Highlanders and true to the principles and ideals of that order. She will be missed by those who knew and appreciated her true womanly worth. She is survived by her husband and six children, Joe Palmer, Mrs. Maude Boyle, Mrs. Charles Humphrey, Mrs. Jess Whitaker, John Palmer and Phillip Palmer, all of Auburn and also by twenty-four grandchildren and one brother, John Parish of Burbank California.

The funeral services will be held this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock and the interment will be made in Sheridan cemetery.

1936: George Palmer obituary
GEORGE PALMER STRICKEN FRIDAY WHILE EATING DINNER

Man Who Had Been Resident of Auburn For More Than Half Century Passed Away Saturday Night--Had Been Active Resident of Community.

George Palmer, who had been a resident of Auburn for many years and who was a well known and respected citizen, passed away Saturday [April 11, 1936] night at the home of his son, Joseph Palmer in Auburn.

He was eating dinner with his son and family Friday and was stricken while at the table. Although everything possible in the way of medical treatment and care, was done for him, the hand of death could not be stayed. Mr. Palmer has been in poor health for sometime but no one realized that the end was so near, therefore the news of his passing came as a surprise and shock to his friends.

George Palmer was born in Lincolnshire, England December 24, 1850 [Tuesday] and has attained the age of 85 years, 3 month and 14 days. When he was seven years old he came with his parents, brothers and sisters to this country, making the voyage in a small sailing vessel requiring 21 days to cross the ocean. They landed in Boston and later went to St. Louis. From there Mr. Palmer went to Omaha, making the trip up the Missouri river. He drove cattle across the plains to Idaho and then came to this country [sic county].

In 1878 [sic m. Oct 30, 1879] he was married to Martha Parish who passed away in September [6 Thursday] 1928. They moved to a farm near Peru where they resided until 1881 when they came to Auburn. At the time of his death Mr. Palmer was operating a grocery store in the north part of town.

He was a carpenter by trade and built many of the pioneer homes in Auburn and would tell of many hardships endured here in the early days. His life had been marked by activity and industry and a deep interest in the community.

Surviving are his five children: Joseph Palmer, Mrs. Maude Boyles, Mrs. Jess Whitaker, John Palmer and Phillip Palmer, all of Auburn. His daughter, Mrs. Georgia Humphrey preceded him in death about two years ago. He is also survived by 20 grand children and four grand-children.

Services were held at the Furlong funeral home Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev T. V. Hubbell. Many friends and neighbors were present at the last rites to pay their respects to his memory and the floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. A quartet consisting of Mr. and Mrs N. C. Sorenson, George Codington and Mrs. LaVeta Andrews sang: "Nearer Stil Nearer" and "Abide With Me." Piano accompaniments were played by Miss Frances Kinghorn. Pallbearers were Robt. Ward, William Johnson, Paul Lorance, Albert Humphrey, Earl Hardenburger and Ralph Hawkins. Burial was in Sheridan Cemetery.
