Description: On May 27, 1862, elements of Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter's V Corps extended north to protect the right flank of McClellan's Union army that now straddled the Chickahominy River. Porter's objective was to cut the railroad and to open the Telegraph Road for Union re-inforcements under MajGen Irvin McDowell that were marching south from Fredericksburg. Confederate forces, attempting to prevent this maneuver, were defeated just south of Hanover Courthouse after a stiff fight. The Union victory was moot, however, for McDowell's reinforcements were recalled to Fredericksburg upon word of Banks's rout at First Winchester.
Result(s): Union victoryhttp://www.nps.gov/history/hps/abpp/battles/va013.htm

Impartial estimation of men lays aside public rank and titles and looks at character. Truth, therefore, awards honor to whom honor is due, while it leaves to infamy whatever names are made worthy of it by the vices of those who have borne them.
It is now my privilege very briefly to sketch the life of a plain, industrious, honorable farmer; and I do this as an incentive to young men to carve out for themselves a character of substantial worth.Israel PALMER was born in Bennington, Vt., March 29, 1801, and completed the 68th year of his age the day previous to his death. In 1806 his father, Thomas PALMER, came to reside where now is the village of McGrawville, but a short distance from the last earthly dwelling of the subject of this notice. At that time this region generally was a wilderness, and this part of Cortlandville, N.Y., an almost undisturbed home of wild beasts.
The father had little more of the means of subsistence than his personal strength, and could afford to his children only very inconsiderable opportunities for literary education. Israel, however, made good use of those he had.At the age of 25, he married Sophia HASKELL, by whom he had seven children - one son and six daughters -of whom all but one daughter, who died in her fourteenth year, survive their kind, cherishing father, and live to be his mourning widow invaluable consolations - to her whose energetic co-operation has contributed largely to that intellectual and moral culture which prepares them, as parents and literary instructors, to move in their several spheres with usefulness and honor. An end so important as was that of Mr. PALMER, should be the praiseworthy ambition of every parent. In this way society is to be elevated and families made happy.
In the year 1835 Mr. PALMER was baptized by Elder W.G. DYE, then pastor of the Baptist Church in McGrawville, in his connection with which Mr. PALMER set examples, particularly in the temperance and anti-slavery causes, which make his memory worthy of respect and love with all who lament the wide-spread ruin intoxication has wrought and is working in our country, and who live as he did to rejoice in seeing the fetters of slavery, that foulest dishonor to our land, stricken from the slave and the nation and the church. He early embraced these great causes and labored untiringly, as is well known in this community, at great pecuniary and personal sacrifices, to promote them. By so doing he incurred the reproaches of the enemies of impartial liberty as well as that vast number of people who are not only on the way to the drunkard's end, but do all they can to draw others into the same fatal course; yet he had the reward of seeing many conversions by his influence.
The sermon of Elder SAVAGE at his funeral, from the text - "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," while it did justice to the grace of God, to which alone salvation is to be ascribed, accorded due commendation to this subject of its saving power.
Drafted in the War of 1812 and spent several months on "Dorchester Heights" now South Boston) but never saw the enemy. He was made a Captain of the State Militia and was elected once or more to represent Ashfield in the State Legislature.
