FARMINGTON, Wash.--Services for Leroy Lewis Palmer, 94, were planned today at Farmington Methodist Church, followed by burial at Mountain View Cemetery here.
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.
