Note: Interview: Mrs. Calvin (Arabella) Palmer Thrasher
"My father was Andrew Palmer. He came to California in 1849 in the party with Robert Buchanan. He did not make a fortune in the mines, and he came to Oregon in 1852. He bought a claim and settled about seven miles south of Corvallis on Muddy Creek near the Buchanans. About 1866-67 he came to Corvallis and for four years was engaged in the general merchandise business in partnership with E. Holgate. Holgate served as County Judge from 1874 to 1877. After leaving the business in Corvallis, Father farmed on Kiger Island. In 1894 he went to Gilliam County where he engaged in cattle raising. He spent the rest of his life there. My parents were married in 1858. Their children were myself, Edward, Frank, Clarence, Georgiana, and Sylvan. None of them are now living in Oregon. I was born on Muddy Creek in 1859. All my schooling was in Corvallis.
Children of Andrew Palmer and Mary Ellen Grimsley Palmer were:

Edward Grimsley Palmer
Francis Frank Andrew Palmer
