Obituary of Daniel B. Palmer 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 21 Jan 1976.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
Eighty-four year old Daniel Palmer Sr. died quietly in his sleep 
early Sunday, 18 Jan 1976, morning, his wife finding him dead as she went to call him 
for breakfast.  He had been in failing health for the past several years due to the 
infirmities of age but had remained active until the end.  News of the passing of this 
Camilla business and civic leader and prominent in the field of farming for many years, 
brought genuine sorrow to a multitude of friends.  Funeral services were held Monday, 19 
Jan 1976, at 3:)) PM at the First Baptist Church of Camilla where he held membership for 
a number of years.  His pastor, Rev Edgar T. Davis Jr. and Rev Sanford Brown, pastor of 
Camilla United Methodist Church, officiated at the services and interment followed in 
Oakview Cemetery with Parker-Bramlett Funeral Home of Camilla in charge of 
arrangements.  Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Wyolene Hartley Palmer; three sons, 
Hartley, Joe Morris and Dan Palmer Jr., all of Camilla; three daughters, Mrs. Joe Bostick 
of Camilla and Mrs. Dick Taylor of Albany and Mrs. Frank Bivins of Moultrie; four 
sisters, Mrs. Fort Barker, Mrs. Iverson Bennett and Mrs. E. K. Harrell Sr., all of Camilla, 
and Miss Louise Palmer of Albany.  Eighteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren 
also survive.  Mr. Palmer was born 26 Jul 1891 in Mitchell County where he spent his 
entire live.  He was the son of pioneer citizens James H. Palmer and Laura Twitty 
Palmer. He was a veteran of World War One, a farmer and businessman.  He served for 
eighteen years as Mayor of Camilla and many years on the Camilla City Council.  
Through this service he was associated with much of the growth and development of 
Camilla in Countless ways (see Editorial Page).  He was chairman of the Mitchell County 
Selective Service Board for twenty years and was a former member of the Mitchell 
County Hospital Authority.
