Henry County Pioneer Dead

Mt. Pleasant, July 19 – Palmer C. Tiffany, the oldest pioneer of Mt. Pleasant and who came to Henry county in 1838, is dead. His death removes one of the most respected and interesting characters in Henry county. He was born in Sturbridge, Mass., April 7, 1809, and was in his 92nd year at the time of his decease. He came with his parents to Iowa at an early day, landing first near Farmington. A short time later, in 1838, he came to Mt. Pleasant and resided here continuously since that time with the exception of two years’ absence in California, from ’49 to ’51.
