Abstract/Notes

Performing original historical research can be a daunting task much akin to detective work. This treatise is a summary of the known information regarding Mary Hudler, the fifth and final wife of D.D. Palmer, as well as a personal tale of the author's trials and tribulations in the hunt to discover facts regarding her life and death.

The quest began around the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois in libraries and places of public records, moved to the Internet, and worked its way back to the libraries and historical buildings of the Quad Cities. A year of searching through written documents, internet sites, and genealogical resources yielded little useable information. An appreciation of the work of chiropractic historians and the determination that some of these "detectives" have shown in pursuing the subjects and events of their studies was, ultimately, the most important lesson learned from this exercise.
