Palmer was Indeed startling to the people of Omaha and Ne braska, so many of whom were familiar with the strong, true per sonality and vigorous life of the ponter western soldier and business man. His coming to Omaha after tramping on foot across Iowa and traveling with an emigrant train to ' the coast, his life as a boy soldier, his career of business man crowned with many honors in military, eivic and fraternal life, afforded a romance and tragedy that read like fiction to one not familiar with the real history of the west. Captain Palmer was naturally proud of some of the things in which he had a prominent part, that helped the growth and development of the new civilization in the unsettled period after the war. He was proud of the distinction of having been the commander of the Loyal Legion and ti. A.

At 70 years he was still a vigorous man, blessed with rare health and en thusiasm at an age when most men are inclined to seclude themselves a little with their books and a few chosen friends. His hale greeting, his resonant voice will be missed by his friends, who know that his brave exterior covered a sadness in his home life on account of the death of his son, and that his cheery salute was possible only because of the strong personality that was early dls rlnlined In the ups and downs of human life Omaha World-Herald.
