The attorney list should definitely include Charles Palmer, who in April, 1925, had his office at 12 East fifth St,Chester. In more recent history He was located for many years in the building (now long gone) that formed at the point where Welsh and Edgmont avenue meet by St. Michaels Catholic Church. I will furnish you a brief bio on Atty. Palmer, who died at about l00 years of age. Among his activities should be noted He was active in a Building & Loan Assn, and a very devoted Quaker. I did not know Mr. Palmer, but I did have the privilige of working on several occasions for his son Newlin Palmer, who was in the Real Estate and Insurance business for many years. Mr. Newlin Palmer had his office on the Second Floor of 815 Edgmont Ave., Chester in the early seventies, and later moved his office to the second floor of the Colony Bldg, on Welsh, between fifth and sixth st., Chester.
