It is not sisned by all of the parties whose narres appear in the preamble but this defect is, Ul'ldoubtedly, cured by the :passage ot time and by the Ag:t'ee~nt and consent Judgment in the case of Henry et al., vs. Hillie.m et al., by which al.l deeds previously exeeuted for the Love Speculation lande Wat:e l,"atified and confirmed.

Palmer; it is made up or four separate parcels of land, all of which are wholly within state Grant Number 252 issued to John Gray Blount. As the title to the lands held under said Grant, 'from the date of its issue down through the time when they passed, by the Will ot: J emes R. Love to his Executors has been analyzed 1n detail in the Sidney N.elson title, the same will not be repeated herein but my be seen by referenc'9 to the title to the Sidrey Nelson Tract, pages one and following, beginning with paragraph one and ending with p:.tragraph ten. 73); I 1. The first deed for consideration herein is one fran R. D. Gilmer, Trustee and Administrator de bonis non to J. H.; Palmer; dated April 10, 1894 conveying seventy-nine acres of land.. The deed is signed by Gilmer personally instead of in his official capacity and is aeknov;ledged by the oath and examination of the subscribing witness. This defect, we think, is immaterial in view of the recognized authority or R.D.Gil:mer to execute such conveyances and as the l a nd has been in undisputed possession under this parent deed, since the date of same. For the authority of R. D.Giln:er to "execute titles" see Analysis of Title to the Sidney Nelson Txact hereinabove referred to. half of the mineral interest is reserved. See ~e J.[ ::S of this .Abstract • In this deed om• 2. J. R. Pal~r died, intestate, in Haywood County, leav-ing surviving him n'UlJJ3rous heirs at law1 one of whom was a daughter, M.c. Leatherwood. A suit was filed in the Superior Court of Haywood County for partition of the lands of J • H. Palmer, all pleadings, orders, decrees J27 etc., in connection therewith have been copied in full in the title to Tract 240 and will not; therefore, be recited herein but may be seen by referring to pagee 1J. '!.. . and following of this Abstract. I By decree of the Court. ., in this proceeding, Lot Number 51 containing 4li Acres was set aside or allotted to M. c. Leatherwood (Mallek · 28,1896) (Special Proceedings Book 2 1 p8.ge 355, Haywoo:l County s uperior Court). 3. w. H. Leatherwood and M. c. Leatherwood, his wife, by Warranty Deed in regular form, properly executed, a cknowledged and reoorded 1 conveyed the 41-~ acres above mentioned - Lot No. 5 - to G. L. Palmer undel:' date of January 281 1899• See Pl?.ge .3 .1>~~- of this Abstract. The title passes to the present owner, Jarvis L, Palmer, by the Will of his Father, n. L. Palmer, wh~ch is copied in Tract 224 and may by seen by reference to Pq;; e .;:;f / of this .Abstract!t I - ~ - - - - - - - ~ The second portion of this Tract consists of a one hundred acre tract and a fifty acre tract 1 deeded by the Executors of James R • Love to G, L. Palmer, reserving one-half of the mineral interest to the Love est ate • The deed is dated May 8, 1883, it is in proper form but it acknowledged by the oath and examination of the subscribing witness and is signed by only two of the four Executors named in the preamble. Thie irregularity has 1 we think, been cured by the Agreed Judgnent in the case of Vi .L.Henry et al., vs W .L.Hilliard et al., which my be seen ,VIi 7 by referring to p;tge jl of this Abstract.

ENClHvlBRA' iCES 1. Taxes. 2. The record title to a portion of Tract No,. 224a is not complete. Tract No. 224 is composed of two tracts, one originally known as the Julia Pa lmer 'Cract and the other the home -place uvon which George L . Palr:,er, the father of Jarvis IH Palr·,er, 11 ved. rrhis tract is e. portion o i' t he J ohn Gray Blount grant and conveyed by the Love .;:;state to George l. alner, who was the father of George L . Palmer, who died many years ago. There is no deed or will or other conveyances of record fron George l 'alner to George L . Falr;1er. However, it appears t hat more t han 50 ye ~t r s ago George L . Fal uer lived u pon this tract of land, erected his res i dence and ot her b Lprover:H;nts thereon and oul tiva ted a very l arge part of it and continuou s l ;t" occtr:>i ed 1 t. In 1910 he ma de a will to his son, J arvis I ... Palner, devis int; to the latter his home place. Jarvis L • . Palmer has continuously lived on the 8aid land, claiming absolute ownerslli_p and ad verscly occupying it since 1910. The occupancy of said .Jarvis L . Palmer and his f a t h er , George L. · al;::,er, is f or at least 50 ye ars, so t hat, in my op inion, the title matured in Ja:I'vis L • .Falner by reason of adverse possession. The possession is s hmm by affi­davits and is well known and can be readily established. 3. The extreme northwestern part of Tract Ho. 224a is embraced in a 50-acre t r act which constituted Excep tion 29 in a deed from. R. D. Gilrner, Trustee of the Love Estate, to the North Carolina Land &·. Timber . Company. If this excep tion is located as shown on the map s of the :r:rorth Carolina Par}:: Co:mrlis ::;ion, 1m my opinion there is a suff icient record tit le . However, there is some uncertainty as to t he loc ation of this exception. There is some evidence t hat the exception is loca ted so as to ext end wes tward and cover a portion of the Duke Hannah Tract. If it is loc ated in th i s way, it would leave a s nall portion of the s outhern -part of thi s 50-acre tract as ahmm on the North Carolina Fark Commis sion's ma ps vested in the ::>uncrast Lumber Company. However, the maps of the Suncrcst Lumber Company indicate t he location of this exce :· tion as shown on our maps. Also, if it i s located according to the second state nent, the remainder of the 50-acre t ract as shown on our maps will be acquired by the Sta te of North Caroltna. in the Sunorest Lumber Cornf)any suit, so th.a.t title in either way would become vested in the State. It would involve at the most some 15 or 20 acres of mountain land, and I think 1 t can be safely purchased under a war:ca nty deed from Jarvis L. PaJ. LJ.Cr. But if located as s hown on our naps , I t hink there is no di~ficulty with the title in any way. This 14th day of Novembe r· , 1930. Address Attorney.

The 559 acres in Cataloochee tracts 224 and 224a were owned by Jarvis L. Palmer. The Palmer House is among the few preserved structures that remain today in Big Cataloochee. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
