Julius Palm nämns kort i en artikel i Worthington Daily Globe 2008-01-19 (Worthingtown, Minnesota, USA).
Julius Palm was born in Sweden. Trained in his homeland as a carpenter, he came to Worthington in 1887 when he was 21. Julius first went to work for (who else?) Sam Allen.
Julius built chuches — Worthington’s First (and first) Baptist church on Fourth Avenue, three Lutheran churches at Tracy, Lutheran churches at Mankato and Sherburn. He drew up the plans for the original Indian Lake Baptist church. Most of all, Julius Palm was a house builder. He built houses for some of Worthington’s most wealthy and prominent residents, Sen. Daniel Shell, Lee Shell, Dr. Ray Humiston, Fred Humiston, W.I. Humiston, H. J. Ludlow, the Okabena apple grower.
The Humiston houses were built in a row along 10th Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue. All the Humiston kids were in and out of all the Humiston houses day by day. One of those houses is now relocated at the corner of 10th Street and Eighth Avenue.
