county, Ala., in 1823, they being among the early pioneers of that county. The
grandfather of Dr. Palmer studied medicine and began practice, but, on account
of an affection of his eyes, he abandoned the profession. He removed his family

there in 1883. After practicing in Coahoma county, Miss., three years he removed
to Barton, Ala., where he remained five years. He then re-moved to Tuscumbia,
and formed his partnership with Dr. Cooper in August, 1891. Dr. Palmer was
married January 19, 1888, to Miss Sudie Huston, daughter of Dr. J. M. Huston of
Dickson, Ala. By this marriage he has two sons, James Huston, born June 21,
