Ishi's
(1770-1837) Parmalee Hall was for sale in early
2012 with an asking price $169,000. The
3,014-square-foot home contained four bedrooms,
three baths, a library, four fireplaces and a
parlor. The original woodwork, wide-plank floors
and foyer were intact. The home sat on a 3-acre
parcel on U.S. 20.

A letter in Dr.
George Parmelee's genealogy collection from Mrs.
Alice Parmelee Reynolds states that the house was
built "nearly across from the old church
where they worshipped ... "Grandfather
Hamilton told his girls, my mother Violetta
[1805-1861; who married the Rev. Alvin Oliver
Parmalee, 1802-1869] and her sister Sally, if
they would ring the bell for services for six
months, he would give them enough money to buy
some silver spoons for their mother [Jerusha
(Parmalee) Hamilton, 1781-1851], sister to Ishi.
They did and I have one of the spoons."
