Notable Chicago figure Palmer dies of pneumonia
Frank Wayland Palmer, longtime public printer of the United States and former Chicago postmaster, died at his son’s home in Chicago of pneumonia. A prominent journalist and politician, Palmer served under eight presidents and secured a $2.5 million funding for the government printing office. Born in 1827, his career spanned Jamestown, Dubuque, Des Moines, and Chicago, with influential roles in the Inter Ocean and Chicago Herald before entering public service. His resignation as public printer followed by Roosevelt’s dismissal marked a notable political moment. Funeral arrangements will be announced.
