Ingersoll (1908) ALF. MORRIS, popular citizen of Santa Monica and president of the City Council, is a native of England, now fifty-six years of age. He received his education in a private grammar school and at the age of sixteen years entered the counting house of one of the largest foreign shippers as an accountant. He spent several years in this employ and acquired a thorough knowledge of the business. Subsequently he took a position as an employee of the Great Western R. R. Company, acting as chief clerk in a branch office. He arrived in New York City nearly thirty years ago and spent two years traveling in the states. He then engaged in the hotel business in the city of Chicago and met with a liberal degree of success. He came to California and located at Santa Monica in 1894, successfully conducting a restaurant business. In October, 1898, he purchased the Santa Monica Steam Laundry, operating the same until October, 1905. He built up an extensive and profitable business in this line, later disposing of it. He then bent his energies to the building of the Kensington Apartments. These have proven to be, not only an innovation in the line of family residential apartments, but with their convenient location to the quick transportation to and from Los Angeles, their close proximity to the sea beach and surf bathing and with their grand views of the ocean, they compose one of the most valuable property holdings of the kind extant. Meantime, Mr. Morris has made several profitable real estate deals and has, withal, become one of Santa Monica's most substantial property owners. Mr. Morris has always been enterprising and alive to the best interests of his adopted city, and has borne his part in the promotion of its civic and political welfare. He was elected to the first city council under the Freeholders Charter from the fourth ward and took his seat April 15th, 1907. He was chosen presiding officer of this body. As president of the council his services have proven valuable, having brought honor and dignity to the position by the pursuance of a broad, impartial and judicious policy. His genial personality, uniform kindness and courteous bearing must have had much to do with his prosperity and success in life. Mr. Morris' mother died when he was yet a youth. His father, was, for many years, a manager for some of the largest mercantile houses in England. He died greatly respected in the year 1891. Mr. Morris married Miss Annette Olsen in the city of New York, January 20th, 1890. She is a daughter of Prof. O. Olsen, of Chicago, a native of Norway, and one of the finest scenic and landscape painters in the country.

David Mundell and Robert Burns were strong personal friends. There is now in possession of David Mundell, an older son, the first copy of the first edition of Robert Burns' works, presented to David Mundell by the author. David Mundell at the time lived in Dumfriesshire, where Burns was government excise officer. Walter Mundell was about fourteen years of age when the family left their native heath and came to America. They located in Pickaway county, Ohio, on a farm where the parents lived until the close of their earthly career. Besides Walter, there are two sons living, David and James, the former at the old home and the latter in Wilson county, Kansas. In August, 1862, Mr. Mundell, with his brother, James, enlisted in the Civil War and were mustered into Company A, 114th Ohio Infantry, under Captain John Lynch. They served under Grant at the siege of Vicksburg, where the subject of this sketch was wounded in both arms and taken to the army hospital at New Orleans. While there he was nursed by Mrs. Lizzie Southworth. A warm friendship ripened into mutual love and, when he had sufficiently recovered from his wounds, they were married September 20th, 1864. They made a wedding journey to the Ohio home, where the wife remained while the husband returned to his regiment at the front to complete his term of enlistment. Mrs. Mundell is a daughter of James Ince and was born in England, Chorley, Lancashire. Her father was a wholesale merchant. She grew up at her native home and there married George Southworth, who was by trade a painter and glazier. They came to America in the year 1859 and located at Lancaster, Dallas county, Texas. Upon the breaking out of the Civil War, Mr. Southworth was conscripted into the Confederate army. He determined not to fight against the Union and crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico, where he was taken sick and died in the vicinity of Monterey. The stricken widow and only son, John, took the remains to Monterey, where the interment took place and she proceeded to return to England. Upon reaching Brownsville, she met General Herron, who induced her to take up army nursing. The battle of Brownsville soon took place and she accepted the offered position of nurse. She went down the Rio Grande river, crossed the gulf as nurse in charge of the hospital boat and landed at New Orleans, where she continued her work. The Mundell brothers both filled out their terms of enlistment and were mustered out of service in August, 1865, having served three years. Mr. Mundell, after the war, returned home and followed his trade, which was that of a millwright, and also that of stationary engineer. He came with his family to California and in 1887 located in Los Angeles, purchased a home and for a time lived in retirement. Later he was for about eight years in the employ of the street department and latterly four and a half years the park commissioner of the city. He located in Sawtelle in the fall of 1904, and in 1906 was appointed postmaster of that city by President Roosevelt. Mr. and Mrs. Mundell have one son, Robert, who is engaged in the lumber business at Oberlin, Kansas, and a daughter. Myrtle, who is assistant postmaster at Sawtelle. Mrs. Mundell has, by her former marriage, one son, John Southworth, who is proprietor of the Southworth apartments on Kinney street, Ocean Park. Mr. Mundell has always been an active republican and, while never seeking office, has repeatedly attended the party conventions as delegate from his home district or precinct. He is a member of the F. and A. M.

Ingersoll (1908) W. M. PALMER was born near Iowa Falls, Iowa, on October 23rd, 1870. His parents were New England Quakers of Scotch, Irish, French and English lineage and pioneers in the settlement of Iowa, having emigrated from the eastern states while Iowa was a wilderness. His grandfather, John Caldwell, was the first Justice of the Peace in Hardin, Hardin County, Iowa, at a time when Indians and land claim jumpers were the chief subjects of judicial inquiry and legal enactment. The family continued to reside in that locality for more than fifty years. The subject of this sketch was graduated from Iowa Falls High School in 1888, after which a three-year course of study was pursued in Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa. Always, from inclination, associating with youth, Palmer naturally became a teacher in the public schools of Iowa, though his first efforts as a pedagogue were put forth in Albany County, Territory of Wyoming. In this field of usefulness his predilection for athletic sports made him a favorite among the younger residents of the community in which he taught. Owing to the support of this element, while principal of the schools at Webb, Iowa, Palmer was elected mayor of the town and continued to hold that office until he took up the study of law, though the principal duties of the mayor of that town were to declare small pox quarantines and to act as police judge. In 1902 the study of law was taken up by Mr. Palmer, his preliminary study being directed by the law firm of Bryson & Bryson and by the Honorable S. M. Weaver, since and now a member of the Supreme Bench of the State of Iowa. In 1904 Mr. Palmer became a resident of the city of Santa Monica, where he has since resided, continuing his law studies in the office of Judge George H. Hutton. He was admitted to the bar of California in 1905. In 1894 Mr. Palmer was married to Miss Myrtle B. Mosely who had been his schoolmate from the primary grade. To them have been born four children. Mr. Palmer has, since 1886, been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and occupied a number of official positions therein. He is an enthusiastic believer in the brotherhood of man and advocates strongly fellowship and sympathy as a means of aiding mankind. He is also is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
