From Oberlin College 1936 Alumni Catalogue:
Mary Fletcher Parmenter, daughter of William W. and Betsy (Hicks) Parmenter, was born in Honesdale, PA, April 16, 1837. She entered Oberlin as a second year student in the Literary Course in 1856 and graduated with the diploma of that course in 1860. For twenty years after graduation she held teaching positions in various Ohio towns, half of the time being spent in or near Mount Vernon. From 1882 to 1894 she continued her work as a teacher in Bismark, North Dakota, and in several other North Dakota cities. In 1854 [should read 1894 based on other records], Miss Parmenter removed to Elmira, New York, where she made her home for the remainder of her life with the exception of two years spent in Oberlin. She died in Elmira, New York, July 1, 1919, death being caused by the infirmities of old age.
