Biography of Rev. Palmer Dyer of Pawlet, VT Pawlet (VT) One Hundred Years Hiel Hollister   1867 J. Munsell, Albany DYER, Rev. PALMER, from Rutland, was a graduate of Union College in the same class with the late Hon. Isaac W. Bishop, of Granville, N.Y.  He became rector of Trinity church, Granville, and Trinity parish in this town in 1823. He was a man of refined scholarly tastes and earnest and eloquent in his public efforts.  These societies prospered greatly under his ministry and the old brick church was wont to be well filled.  He removed hence to Whitehall about 1831.  He was precipitated from a narrow bridge over the Au Sable river while escorting some timid ladies and was drowned in 1844, at the age of 46.
