Marie Palmer

Birth: She was born around 1922 in Nebraska.  

Family Information: Daughter of Curtis and Mary Palmer.

Description:  

Pre-Colony History: She first came to the colony in October 1929 with her parents and siblings and there were a lot of them -- possibly 10-11 in the group. They arrived in a covered truck which might be called a house, that Comrade Palmer had built for himself.

In 1932, the Palmer family is reported to have returned to the colony after having left almost two years before -- this time the group included the parents and six children. They came from Minnesota.  

Home in Colony: In May 1930 the family moved to one of the poultry farms.
