Notes for Wallace G. Palmer

https://www.nthistorymuseum.org/Collections/goundry.html

Looking west on Goundry Street at the corner of Payne, the DeKleist mansion in the foreground, the Batt home at 303 Goundry Street visible down Goundry Street.  Wallace G. Palmer of W. G. Palmer Lumber Co. purchased the DeKleist home (293 Goundry Street circa 1907), after first living at 341 Goundry. It was originally built by Charles Weston, the lumberman, whose daughter married a DeGraff across the street. It burned down and was replaced in more recent times by two ranch style homes, one facing Payne Avenue, one facing Goundry Street. The photo is from an old postcard published by J. W. Root.   Circa 1907.

341 across the street from us, was the home of the W. G. Palmer family. There was JuLou, Dorothy, Charles and Wallace Jr. Mr. Palmer had a lumber mill on Oliver Street at the Railroad Crossing.  The family came here from Albany.  When the deKleist home at 293 was up for sale, Mr. Palmer bought it.  They always had two colored maids.  George Gilmore took care of the horse and later chauffeured the car.  JuLou and Dorothy attended boarding schools.  JuLou went to National Park Seminary, and Dorothy went to a girls' school on the Hudson.  JuLou married Fred Large in 1911.  Dorothy joined the American Red Cross and was in the Canteen Service in Paris in World War I.  After the war, she married Charles Braden of Niagara Falls.  Charles Palmer served in the Air Force. He was killed in a motor car accident in 1927. Wallace graduated from the University of Pennsylvania; then joined the advertising staff of Wrigley Gum Co. He died of cancer many years ago.  All the Palmers are gone except JuLou Large who lives in a nursing home in Rochester.

190 was the home of Mrs. Blakeslee of Albany and sons Charlie and Ned. She was the mother of Mrs. W. G. Palmer. Soon they moved back to Albany.
