"Jacob E. Parmeter was reared a tiller of the soil and was still a young man when he came to Michigan. He first located in Jackson county, then came to Kent county and in the spring of 1865 moved to Grand Travers county, where his death took place September 4, 1867. His wife, who was chiefly reared in Michigan was beyond doubt a native of New York, and died in Courtland township, Kent county, Mich., January 20, 1871."
Please note that the marker dates do not agree with the two census enumerations that he appears on (born 1819). Also the marker states his death was in 1865, however his son's biographical sketch gives a full date of Sep 4, 1867.
