This is my great-great-grandmother, Sally Romelia (Parmenter) Jillson. She was born May 13, 1845 in Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY and died Aug. 1, 1922 in South Haven. She was the daughter of Abraham L. and Lucy (Gardner) Parmenter. Sally, who was known by her middle name of Romelia, married Alden Jillson of New York on Dec. 18, 1865. Romelia and Alden moved to the South Haven area in 1877 where they located on a farm South of the Law Schoolhouse. They had three children: Bertha A. Jillson, Burleigh A. Jillson and Arthur Burley  Jillson. Romelia is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, South Haven.
