Biographical history
There appear to be two branches of the Palmer family and it is not clear how they are connected:
Arnie (Arlie) Leroy Palmer was born in Hampstead, Queens County, on July 25, 1902. He was the son of Edgar Palmer (1888-1944) and Annie Lacy. Edgar was the son of Benjamin Palmer (1834-1909) and Sarah McAlpine (1825-1900). The Palmers were a Loyalist family, starting with Marcus Palmer Sr. (1767-1822). Arlie married Gertrude Palmer (1905-1988) and died in 1990. The family had a farm that had been in thefamily since Marcus Palmer Sr.
Moses L. Palmer (1854-1938) married Helen Moore in 1879 in Keswick Ridge. They had six children: William (Willie) Robert (b. 1899), Laura (b. 1883), Nellie, Phoebe Annette (b. 1880), and James Rich (b. 1884). Willie married Effie Libby (b. 1903) in 1903.
Custodial history
Kings Landing acquired the collection in 1991. The farm estate of Arnie Palmer was auctioned off by Russell Bond in 1991. Kings Landing purchased a cook book, sword, and other miscellaneous archival material. The postcard collection belonged to the Willie Palmer family branch and was acquired at the same auction. It was sent to the Provincial Archives in 2016, where it was processed as part of the Kings Landing Collection (MC4120).
Scope and content
Series consists of postcards, greeting cards, certificates, cookbooks, handwritten recipes and recipe clippings, and various miscellaneous items that belonged to the two branches of the Palmer family.
