Dr. W. W. Palmer Dead

The hundreds of friends of Dr. W. W. Palmer throughout the county will be deeply
grieved to learn of his death at his home in the city on Thursday morning last,
after ten days of illness with typhoid fever.   His remains were laid to rest in
the city cemetery yesterday, appropriate honors both masonic and military being
observed.  The funeral was conducted from the Presbyterian church Rev. J. B.
Mack officiating.

Since coming to Bainbridge Dr. Palmer had become quite popular among all classes
of our people and held the esteem of the entire town and surrounding community.
He was 1st Lieut. in the Bainbridge Independents at the time of his death.  He
was a son of Mr. W. W. Palmer Sr. who has resided in Bainbridge for several
years.

He leaves a devoted young wife and a small child and a number of relatives to
whom are extended the condolences of hundreds of sympathizing hearts.

Had Lived As A Man

A New York dispatch says:  The death of Murray Hall, proprietor of and
employment agency on Sixth Avenue has been reported.   Hall died from cancer of
the left breast, and when Dr. William C. Gallagher made an examination he found
the victim to be a woman.

Dr. Gallagher learned from other occupants of the house where "Mr. Hall" lived
that "Mr. Hall's" wife died two years ago, after a married life of twenty years.
Many who had known Hall for years never suspected that she was not a man.

Coroner Zneca said the dead Murry Hall was a woman about 41 years of age, and
had dressed as a man in order to help the business along.

Neighbors declare that "Mr. Hall" had been married twice.   His second "wife",
who died two years ago, was well known and well liked.
