WARREN SHERMAN PALMER

Another old time railroad executive passed on Monday when death claimed WARREN SHERMAN PALMER, formerly general manager of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, at his home in Ross. He was 81 years old and had been ill but a short time.

Mr. PALMER was a graduate of the class of 1875, University of California. He was with the old Central Pacific Railroad for years, later becoming general superintendent of the California lines of the Southern Pacific. In 1907 he became general manager of the N.W.P. and held that post until his retirement not so long ago.

He was at one time president of the Bohemian Club, San Francisco. A daughter, ALICE PALMER ROBERTS, survives him.

Funeral services were held Wednesday under direction of Guy W. Jenness & Co., San Anselmo, at Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland. Interment was private.
