He is one of the early settlers of Timber Creek township, and the owner of large landed interests, which have been gained only by the strictest economy and excellent management. The hardships which have fallen to the lot of Mr. Palmer and his family would have discouraged those of less persistent natures, have only tended to make them more determined and spurred them to stronger action. With undaunted courage he has faced misfortune, suffering and hardship incident to the life of the pioneers in the west, and through all has remained to enjoy a fitting reward for his labors. He is now a resident of Fullerton, the owner of a fine home there, in addition to large farming interests in the county, and is held in the highest esteem by those with whom he comes in contact, in a social or business way. His portrait appears on another page of this volume. Our subject is a son of Thomas and Susan Palmer, and was born in Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire, England, 14 April, 1832. He was brought up there, and was married February [21], 1854, to Emma Wilson, in the Parish church in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England, by the Rt. Rev. Vicar C. E. Savage. After two years in their native country the young couple came to America, with their first son, Thomas, born in 1855, landing in New York City February 12, 1857. They went directly to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Palmer secured employment. After remaining there but a short time, they went to Connecticut, and he began work with the Hazard Powder Company, and continued with that concern for twenty-six years. Then he decided to try his fortune in the west, and came to Nebraska, locating in Nance county in 1883. The following year he was joined by his family. Their first home was on Timber creek, living there for ten years, Mr. Palmer being engaged in the stock business and also doing mixed farming. In 1893 they removed to Fullerton, still owning the farm and considerable land in the vicinity. Mr. Palmer has been very successful in his various enterprises, and is counted among the well-to-do men of his county, owning at the present time seven hundred and twenty-one acres in Nance county alone, most of this being under cultivation. Besides this land, he has outside interests and the fine home which he occupies in Fullerton. He is now (in 1911) seventy-nine years of age, still active, and takes much interest in local affairs. Mrs. Palmer died in 1906, survived by her family of eight children, who are Thomas, John, Abraham, Joseph, William, Mary, Emma and George, all married and settled in comfortable homes, highly esteemed by their associates.
