WERE LAW STUDENTS TOGETHER.
Francis Palmer of Alma. and the Late
President Mckinley, Graduated
Together From the Same
College i'm 1867


A day or Two after the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and while Francis Pal
mer of this village was reading brief
account of his life, IN which It was
stated that he graduated from the Al.
bauy Law school, a certain tact came 10
his mind winch had been forgotten, tor
more than 33 years II was the same
year he graduated from the college and
he recalled he fact that he had an auto
graph album which contained all the
names ana many of the pictures OF the
elias, The book had been LAID away and
but httle referred To for years, ana then,
ia hastily glaucing 1t through he found
one name written in such way that he
was unable to READ 10, but did not think
more of the matter II over So years.
AT that time Mr.. Mckiuly had not
attained any national distinction or
prominence, only that be had been a
good soldier aud attained a. nigh rank
for 50 young man, a. ne was, only p
years of age when the war closed. AS
there were 1913 IN the class of 81 Mr..
Palmer did not become familiar with all
of them, and few years out of college
many faces and names were forgotten.
But in looking through the album after
the death of the President, the name
Mckinley, came to his mind, and he
found that he then could read the very
peculiar written name as VIM. Mckin.
ley, Jr all being connected III such a
way that one looking at the name at the
present would scarcely be able 70 read 1T.
The page contains the following auto
graph: VIM Mckinley, written in the
center, and under, Poland. Mahoning
county, Ohio. Then the religion, poll
tics and rank in the army, are filled
III the corners of the page. He desig-
mated as Meth I" Rad. Rep" "Bt.
Maj, u ). Vols, which spelled out in
full would be, Methodist, Radical Re.
publican, Brevet Major, l ). Nolun-
teers. That completes the page which
50 many years ago, and at which time he
was "A years of age.
Mr. Palmer also has a catalogue con-
tanning all the names. and in which we
saw those OF VIM. Mckinley, Jr. and
Francis Palmer. This book was also laid
away and not thought of until found
when searching for the album. Mr..
Palmer says he has read and scrutinized
every name since finding the book.
His great regret Is that he did not refer
to the books before as he has honored
ana admired MIR. Mckinley ever since
he came into public prominence and
heartily supported him for the highest
office ia the gift of the American people.
Ii might be further explained that after
the death of his father, Mr.. Mckinley
dropped the Jr., from his name.
