| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Mrs. B. J. Palmer. It seems likely this is Mabel Heath, daughter of William Lake Heath and Evaline (Little) Heath. She married Bartlett Joshua Palmer in Scott County, Iowa in 1904. She was admitted to chiropractic practice in 1921, and went on to become an author as well as the treasurer of both Palmer School of Chiropractic and WOC Radio Station. She would be about thirty-years-old in this image. See also X747. |
