Joseph Palmer, produce dealer of Cumberland, was born in Cumberland
Township, just on the outskirts of the city, Nov. 18, 1891, the son of
Samuel and Clorinda (Donatello) Palmer. He was reared on the home farm and
attended the neighboring schools. After leaving school he continued to help
his father on the farm, and in time took over its management. In 1918 he
engaged in his present business. He thoroughly understands local farming
conditions and is a close student of the market, and has built up a large
business. His fair dealing commends itself to all, and all those he has
dealings with are his friends. He buys veal, hides, poultry, cream, eggs
and other farm products and ships to the metropolitan centers. Mr. Palmer
was married April 30, 1915, to Lora Christey, born in Sioux Rapids, Iowa,
Aug. 28, 1896, daughter of Ira and Emma (Galmore) Christey, natives
respectively of Indiana and Iowa, who now live in Cumberland. Mr. and Mrs.
Palmer have two children: Joseph, born Nov. 7, 1917, and Dorothy, born May
15, 1919.
