Mr. Parmlee is buried next to his brother, James David Parmlee, and both have their final resting places marked by zinc headstones that are almost identical.

This short obelisk has the floral detail that is common to many zinc headstones, and on the front panel is a set of clasped hands, with this inscription above:

J.B.
Parmlee,

Born Sept. 21, 1845
Departed this life
Nov. 4, 1874.

There is nothing on the panels on the remaining three sides, and only the back has anything notable; an epitaph reads:

We only know
that thou hast
gone,
and that the same
relentless tide
which bore thee
from us, still glides on,
and we who mourn
thee with it glide.
Date of birth (optional): 09/21/1845

Date of death (optional): 11/04/1874
