Son of Willie & Rhoda {Riley} Palmer; First married Leslie Lee Hartzog on October 10,1916, in Malvern, Geneva County, Alabama. They would have 3 children before divorcing in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, in 1929. His second marriage, in 1932, was to Belma Edith Lambert in Houston, Texas. Sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s, they purchased a small farm in Southern Alabama, just above the Florida state line. In the summer of 1948, Bill's 2 grandchildren, children of his youngest child Bob, would come to live with them. They raised the children, with son Bob's help, until December 1956, when they were returned to their mother & step-father in Texas. In addition to their farm, Bill & Belma owned a small grocery & dry goods store in Slocomb, Alabama. After the grandchildren left, Bill & Belma moved to Channelview, Texas, a small community near Houston. They managed a small grocery store until their retirement in the early 1970s. After their retirement, they were able to travel all over the US, visiting family members & friends. Bill died of heart disease in 1976, at the age of 81.
