Obituary of Margaret Maranda  Anderson Palmer 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 21 January 1916.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
The Community was made sad 
when the news was spread abroad that Mrs. Maggie Palmer, wife of Mr. T. E. Palmer, 
had died on Thursday night between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock.  Prior to her death 
Mrs. Palmer had suffered for several days with pneumonia. (Note- she died nine days 
after the birth of her stillborn daughter and is buried beside her at Mt. Zion.)  Funeral 
services were held on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Mt. Zion Church conducted by 
Rev. H. N. Burnett, pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. O. P. Bently, of this city, and 
Rev. S. O. Thomas of Pelham.  Mrs. Palmer leaves a husband and five children, all boys, 
to mourn her loss.  She is also survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ed 
Anderson of Thomasville, three sisters, Mrs.Luvie Rayburg of Thomasville, Mrs. Pine 
and another Mrs Connell of Nashville, and one brother, Mr. Hoyt Anderson of 
Thomasville.  Mr and Mrs. Palmer had been married about eighteen years, from which 
union there were eight children, five of whom are now living.  It is sad indeed to see the 
hand of death leave a happy home desolate, as the mother, the queen of that home, and 
the one on whom falls the greater care of rearing the little ones is taken away.  Early in 
life the deceased became a Christian and united with the Baptist Church of which she was 
a faithful and constant member until death, and her body was carried to its last resting 
place from the little church where she had worshiped in life.  She was a loving and 
faithful wife, a devoted mother, and a true friend. The  community deeply sympathizes 
with Mr. Palmer and his family in their bereavement, and extend to them their 
condolences.
