Mr. Palmer died Friday in Pullman where he had lived since retiring about four years ago.
Born in Butter Creek, Ore., he had been a Farmington area resident since 1891 when his parents moved here from Oregon. He attended Evergreen Country School.
In 1905, he married Bernice Warner at Pendleton, Ore., and the couple purchased a farm near Farmington. They lived there until 1944 when they moved to town and he began a second career as a blacksmith.
Mrs. Palmer died in October 1975 after the couple had moved to a Pullman retirement home.
Survivors include four daughters, Letha Walters, Lapwai, Idaho; Velma Brumbach, Milton Freewater, Ore.; Florence Barton, Riverton, Wyo., and Doris Lisenbee, Lewiston; three brothers, Earl and Floyd, both of Farmington, and Gerald, in California; 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
