It's no bother at all, but it is helpful to us volunteers if we know what you know, rather than spend time looking for information you may already have.
Both Marion Earle PALMER and his father, Mitchell PALMER are listed on SSDI. I already posted the link in message # 24654.
You should be able to obtain death certificates for both of them from http://www.vitalrec.com/http://www.vitalrec.com/
This site has some additional info

Check out Drew Cemetery.
If you have a subscription to Ancestry then you have access to census records and should be able to locate Mitchell with his parents and siblings in 1900 in Walthall Town, Webster County, MS. They are indexed as PULMER, as on the actual census the 'a' is a bit faint.
Annie Mae McBRIDE can be found in 1910 and 1920 in Sunflower County with her parents and sister.
The PALMER and allied families have well documented histories dating back to Colonial times. There is nothing to indicate they were anything other than of English/European ancestry.
It might be helpful if you posted to the relevant surname and location boards. There are some very knowledgeable folk out there. And it's likely you'll find some kin.
