Palmer was the eldest child of James Arren Stone and Lucinda Horne. He owned a considerable amount of land, which had been passed on from his family over the generations, and which he spent his life farming.
He was an excellent shot and could hit a match at a distance. He spent a lot of time hunting, including squirrels, which would then be cooked for dinner. About once a year, he would spend a month near the beach hunting deer.
In addition to his hunting abilities, Palmer knew a lot about genealogy and could tell how families were connected, determining their relationship of one to another.
Palmer had "piercing blue eyes" and was stern in his beliefs, with no tolerance for disrespect. He had an eye-for-an-eye type of attitude. When he was robbed one day at knife point during a car ride back to his house, he returned to the spot with his shotgun, ready to take back what was his. When he couldn't find the culprits, he resorted to the more conventional method of reporting it to law enforcement.
Unfortunately, he battled alcoholism much of his life and was a heavy smoker. He passed away from the effects of lung cancer.
