He was born at Hudson, New York to Frank Farrand and Helena Willett Alger as their second son. He was baptized Oct. 4, 1903 at Christ Episcopal Church at Hudson, New York. His father, Frank Farrand, who had been born at Greenport-Hudson, Columbia County, New York worked managing sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic, West Indies, from about 1885 to about 1924. Palmer spent time first at Hudson, New York where he was born in 1903 at a beautiful home on Allen Street (which his mother had inherited a 1/3 share of) which was sold in 1910. His mother alternated time between Hudson and the Dominican Republic where her husband worked until 1910 when time was alternated between Essex County, New Jersey and the Dominican Republic.
The picture of him as a young boy is with his mother, Helena Willett (Alger) Farrand. He was very handsome. From about 1929 to 1933 he was a member of the United States Marine Corps and then he worked for a financial company on Wall Street. He married Karen Wandrup on Oct. 24, 1931 at the Episcopal Church (St. Peter's) at Essex Fells, New Jersey. The church was very near his home on Roseland Avenue in Essex Fells which originally had the number 222 and which now is 228.
Palmer and his wife had one son, Freeland Palmer Farrand. The name Palmer was the maiden name of Palmer's mother Helena Willett Alger's grandmother (Sarah Palmer Alger). The Chatterton name is somewhat of a mystery. A guess would be that as Sarah Palmer Alger was born in White Plains, Westchester County, New York in 1809 - 1810, his name might have something to do with the Battle of White Plains which was actually fought on the Chatterton farm in nearby Greenburgh, New York. Sarah Palmer's father was said to have been William Palmer. Could her mother have had the maiden name of Chatterton? (To be honest, I can find no link to the Chatterton family but further research might be fruitful.)
Palmer drowned in a mishap while on a winter vacation and his body was not immediately found which resulted in him being considered a missing person for a period of time. His death was heart-wrenching for his whole family who mourned the passing of such a handsome and endearing person. The burial records for the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn have his burial as 8 Jul 1940.
Palmer had an older brother, Carl Alger Farrand (a/k/a Charles Francis Farrand) who was born in 1897 and a younger brother Frank Freeland Farrand who was born in 1908. He also had a brother of the half blood, William Frank Farrand, born in 1929.
