Letter from Franklin Dewey Richards, Robert Taylor Burton, Seymour Bicknell Young, and John Jaques, 26 June 1895

Salt Lake City, . To Presidents Wilford Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. Dear Brethren—Your committee herewith return the documents in the case of Elizabeth Palmer and James Palmer, appealed from the High Council of Tooele Stake by James Palmer. It appears that Elizabeth Foxall became second wife of James Palmer 43 years ago, and has had eleven children by him, nine of them now living, the youngest 20 years old. Brother and Sister Palmer, not agreeing, have not lived together for about 15 years. His first wife is dead. He has a third wife, Mary Jane Ewer, with whom he lives, and who has had by him 13 children, 10 of them now living with him, the youngest about four years old. Elizabeth Palmer and children have not had support from Brother Palmer for 14 years. They used to live with him in Skull Valley, on a farm, which he sold several years ago for $9,000, part cash and part real estate, and she thinks he ought to give her and her children part of that means. The High Council approved the decision of the Bishop's Court of Grantsville Ward, to the effect that Brother James Palmer pay Elizabeth Foxall Palmer certain five acres of land and $1000 in cash, or $1500 in cash without the land, the land to be deeded to her by Nov. 1, 1894, and the cash to be paid to her by Sept. 1, 1894. After carefully considering the case as presented to us, we respectfully recommend
