Obituary of Daniel Palmer 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 1 Feb 1907.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
The immortal spirit of this venerable old gentlemen took its 
departure from its earthly tenement last Monday, 28 Jan 1907, at 3:15 PM, and while his 
death was not expected, having been in very feeble health for some time and critically ill 
for the last two weeks, yet his friends were sorely grieved when it became known that 
father, grandfather and friend had passed away.  Mr. Palmer was in his 89th year and was 
one of Mitchell county's oldest citizens and possibly no other was more respected that 
"Uncle Daniel Palmer" as he was familiarly known throughout this entire section.  The 
funeral services were held at the home Tuesday, 29 Jan 1907, afternoon, conducted by 
Rev B. W. Davis pastor of the Baptist church of which the deceased was a member, after 
which the remains were carried to the new cemetery (Oakview) for burial, followed by 
one of the longest funeral processions ever seen in Camilla, over 60 conveyances being in 
line. Mr. Palmer is survived by his wife, two sons, Messrs J. B. and J. H. Palmer and two 
daughters, Mrs. G. W. Baggs and Mrs. Mittie Spence, besides a host of other relatives to 
mourn his death.  To the bereaved ones of both these excellent families the 
ENTERPRISE extends sincere condolence.
