FORREST F. PALMERLEE.—In recording the names of the prominent business men of
Imperial County, mention should be made of Forrest F. Palmerlee, who well merits
the title of self-made man. He was born at Spangle, Washington, November 6,
1885, son of Frank D., and Ida A. Palmerlee. His father was a native of Dodge
Center, Minnesota, and his mother was born in Napa County, California. The
subject of this review acquired his education in the public schools of
Washington and California. Leaving Washington State his parents removed to Santa
Rosa, California. Mr. Palmerlee's father is deceased, his death occurred in
September, 1915. His mother resides in Long Beach, California. Finishing his
public school education, Forrest F. took a business course and later became
identified with the San Pedro Lumber Company at Long Beach as stenographer for
eleven months. He then became associated with the First National Bank of Long
Beach, California, as assistant bookkeeper for six months. He then went with the
Citizens Savings Bank of Long Beach as bookkeeper, where he remained for two
years. In February, 1907, he removed to Imperial County, and accepted a position
with the Calexico State Bank, and afterward was expert accountant for the county
for six months. He then went with the Imperial Valley Bank at Brawley, as
cashier, and in December, 1909, the First National Bank was organized and Mr.
Palmerlee accepted the position as cashier. This position he held until January
1, 1918, when he took an interest with Otto C. Brackney in the Buick and G. M.
C. truck agency for Imperial Valley. Mr. Palmerlee was married November 15,
1906, to Miss Marguerite E. Steiner, a native of Texas. To this union has been
born one son, Marvin Glenn, born August 8, 1912. Mr. Palmerlee was appointed
city commissioner in October, 1916. He served as city treasurer for a period of
two years. Mr. Palmerlee is much esteemed by those who know him for the sterling
character of manhood and his good business capacity.
