65	Palmer	Richard Elliott Palmer	1853	78	1931	id: 69	396326	1499	1	Richard Elliott Palmer was the eldest son of John Palmer and Henrietta Stephens of Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland. His father established a successful corn milling business before his death in 1860. Richard Elliott Palmer obtained a commission in the Kerry Militia. He was promoted from sub-lieutenant to lieutenant in 1875 and from lieutenant to captain in June 1879 and then transferred to the reserve in July of the following year. He was to continue to use the title ‘captain’ for the rest of his life. In 1885 Palmer became the New York manager for a London-based wine shipping company. In 1888 he went bankrupt but in 1892 married a wealthy American woman. He returned to Ireland and stood as Unionist candidate in the West Kerry constituency at the 1892 general election, securing a paltry forty-three votes. He moved to Newdigate in Surrey, where he built a mansion named ‘Oaklands Park’ standing in landscaped grounds. There he also had a 124 acre dairy farm and a herd of pedigree Kerry cattle. In February 1894 his creditors once again caught up with him and he was brought before Croydon Bankruptcy Court where he was described as a ‘poor man with a rich wife’. It was claimed that apart from his Surrey farming activities ‘he went hunting and driving three or four horses about all over Ireland and lived in high style.’ He died in August 1931 leaving nearly £33,000 in his will ‘pending litigation’. So complicated were his affairs that they were not finally settled until 1937, three years after his wife’s death.
		Minnie Merritt Palmer	1856	78	1934					Minnie Merrit Taylor was born in Massachussetts, USA. She was the daughter of Henry Taylor and Alice June Merritt. She was married twice. Her first marriage was to William Abbott Pullman. He died in 1891 and in 1892 she married Richard Elliott Palmer in Manhattan.
