Bio
James William Palmer died here Friday, Feb. 20, 1931 at 9 AM following a rather long illness. His family had taken him to Cortez, Colorado for special treatment but being unable to benefit him there he was returned home again where he died under very peaceful conditions at the ripe old age of seventy three. He was born in 1860 at Provo, Utah County, Utah and moved to Meadow Valley, to Springdale near Zion Canyon, then to Orderville, Kane County, Utah where he lived the United Order for ten years. James W. Palmer was married as a young man to Mary Ann Black at Orderville in 1879 (she died the next year.) He married Olive Myrtle Black in 1881 and Eva Minerva Black in 1883. Together they pioneered, following settlement in Old Mexico, Colonia Diaz in the state of Sonorra, Mexico and San Jose, Colonia Juarez, Coralles, and Colonia Pacheco in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Because of poor health in Mexico James W. Palmer and one family moved to Blanding, San Juan County, Utah before the 1912 Mexico Revolution. The other family followoing when they were hounded from their homes in 1912. A large family survives. Twenty two children, one hundred and six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. A fitting service was held Saturday, Feb. 21st before a large house of respectful posterity and friends. The speakers were David Black, James Caroll and W. H. Redd.
