(18.5 miles west of St.
Ignace Docks). Bates and Chantler owned and operated two lime
kilns at Palms adjacent a deposit oflimestone (c. 1887). The
namesake of Palms was Francis Palms, a Detroit lumberman who helped

The history of Moran Township states that Palms/Pines became
Kenneth. There is also speculation that the citizens of Palms
slowly migrated to Kennth, about a mile up the line.
