Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Description Created in 1954 by Sanford’s city engineer, Fred H. Williams, this surveyor's map depicts Seminole County, Florida. During his tenure as city engineer from the 1920s through the early 1940s, Williams created multiple maps that show how Sanford has changed as the city limits grew and the city become more populated. Unlike some of the previous maps created by Williams, there seems to be no legend detailing the map. This particular map is difficult to read due to fading. The City of Sanford was founded by a lawyer and diplomat from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891), who purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city. Situated on Lake Monroe at the head of the St. Johns River, the City of Sanford earned the nickname of “The Gate City of South Florida.” Sanford became not only a transportation hub, but a leader in the citrus industry globally. The Great Fire of 1887 devastated the city, which also suffered from a statewide epidemic of yellow fever the following year. The citrus industry flourished until the Great Freezes of 1894 and 1895, causing planters to begin growing celery in 1896 as an alternative. Celery replaced citrus as the city's cash crop and Sanford was nicknamed "Celery City." In 1913, Sanford became the county seat of Seminole County, once part of Orange County. Agriculture dominated the region until Walt Disney World opened in October 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Description Created in 1936 by Sanford’s city engineer, Fred T. Williams, this surveyor's map depicts Seminole County, Florida. During his tenure as city engineer from the 1920s through the early 1940s, Williams created multiple maps that show how Sanford has changed as the city limits grew and the city become more populated. Unlike some of the previous maps created by Williams, there seems to be no legend detailing the map. Seminole County separated from Orange County on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes.

Ice industry--United States Description An icehouse located at 300 Bush Boulevard in Sanford, Florida, during the 1920s or 1930s. John Wesley Woods (1886-1966), presumably the owner of the icehouse pictured, is seen standing on the driver's side of the truck parked in front of the icehouse.. The two men standing on the porch, from left to right, are Earl Partain and Fred Page. According to an article published in The Sanford Herald, Woods, was instrumental in the formation of the Sanford Zoo, as he contributed a raccoon, a opossum, a grey squirrel, at least one fox, a porcupine, a skunk, and an alligator. This particular photograph was donated to the Museum of Seminole County History by C. D Partain, the grandson of both Woods and Partain. The back of the photograph also identifies Page as Nell's husband, but it is unclear as to who Nell is.

Drugstores--United States Pharmacy--United States Description Located at 100 East First Street on the corner of Park Avenue in Sanford, Florida, Bower & Roumillat was the first business to occupy the Brumley-Puleston Building that was completed in 1923. Roy C. Bower and Gene Roumillat opened the store together. By 1947, after receiving his pharmacy license at the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville, Francis E. Roumillat, Jr. began working for his father at the Roumillat and Anderson Walgreen Agency. Known for its curbside service and milkshakes, the store operated for 55 years before closing in 1977. This 1920s-era bottle is from the original store and likely contained liquid medicine or perhaps a white powder used to make compounds.

Celery Description A newspaper article published by The Central Florida Press on June 20, 1930. This article argues the need for Seminole County to develop a cooperative for celery growers. Seminole County, especially Sanford, was well-known in the late 19th and early 20th century for its celery industry. The origins of Sanford's connection to celery farming began on December 26, 1894, when a freeze damaged the area's citrus groves. They began to recover during a warm and wet January which promoted new shoots, but a second freeze hit on February 7, 1895, practically wiping them out. The 24 degree temperature was the coldest known in Florida to that point. The freeze was so intense that the sap froze inside the trunks, many of which split open, sounding like gunshots, and crashed to the ground. The population quickly dropped from 5000 to 2000 as the groves were abandoned. I. H. Terwilliger stayed after the freezes and is believed to have planted the first celery grown in Sanford in 1896. By 1898, celery became the crop synonymous to Sanford, with the town earning the nickname "Celery City." Type Text Source Original newspaper article: "Celery Cooperative Needed."

Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824.

Title American Civil War Bullets Alternative Title Civil War Bullets Subject American Civil War, 1861-1865 Civil War Bullets United States. Army Army Description Bullets from the American Civil War, which was fought between the Union and the Confederacy between 1861 and 1865. After four years of battle, the Union destroyed the Confederacies infrastructure, successfully crushing their ability to continue fighting. The Civil War became the testing ground for advanced rifles and new kinds of bullets. The U.S. Ordnance Department, after conducting tests, determined that the Army should use percussion lock guns, rifled, firing conical bullets of moderate (.58 Caliber) size. Confederate President Jefferson Davis had approved these findings on July 5, 1855, when he was U.S. Secretary of War. The Confederate States of America (CSA), which was short on money and arms, rifled older muskets, which fired 0.69 caliber bullets. Along with those rifles, the CSA also bought foreign guns of many types and also used captured Union weapons. This wide range of rifles used during the war explains the multiple kinds of bullets later found on battlegrounds. The Museum of Seminole County History has a wide range of bullets found from that period that include: .54, .68, .58, .69, .53, .54, .57, .44, hospital bullets, and sharps rifle bullets.

Title Native American Pipe Alternative Title Native American Pipe Subject Native Americans Amerindians Indigenous peoples--United States Pipes Smoking--United States Tobacco--Southern States Description This straight tube is considered the most primitive form of a smoking pipe. This specific pipe is made out of Steatite ,but it is also common to find these pipe’s made out of Greenstone. These pipes are known to be symmetrical and have a smooth prepared finish. Most of these pipes were used as smoking pipes, but it is also known that indigenous shamans used pipes in ritual settings and for healing purposes. Commonly used during tribal pow-wows, members of the tribe put tobacco into one side of the pipe and smoked the tobacco at the other end with a reed. This rare pipe was found in Seminole County, Florida, and has numerous cracks throughout with one side of the pipe’s bowl broken off.

Title Seminole Dolls Alternative Title Seminole Dolls Subject Seminole Indians--Florida Native Americans Amerindians Indigenous peoples--United States Dolls--United States Art--Florida Patchwork--United States Description Dolls in patchwork clothing created by members of the Seminole tribe in the 1940s. By the end of the 19th century, the few indigenous people remaining in South Florida after the Seminole Wars lived in isolated camps in the wilderness of the Everglades area known as Big Cypress Swamp. Their encounters with white settlers and traders introduced them to hand-cranked sewing machines and other goods. With these new sewing machines, different designs were sewn out of brightly colored cotton fabric pieces in a style that came to be known as patchwork. The designs were intricately made and were inspired by animals and elements of their natural environment. In 1917, Alice Osceola, the wife of William McKinley Osceola, became the first known woman to wear patchwork adornment on her clothing. As more women took up the practice, the clothing became more elaborate and colorful. Indigenous women made patchwork articles to sell to tourists visiting their camps and settlements. Patchwork clothing and goods became a hallmark of the tribes' handicrafts and sales of these items helped support many Seminole and Miccosukee families before the arrival of the gaming industry. Seminole seamstresses made these dolls out of red palmetto fibers and dressed them in patchwork-style clothing like that of the tribe's women. The dolls are highly prized today by collectors of Seminole Indian artifacts. These specific dolls date to the 1940s and were donated to the Museum of Seminole County History by Clarabel Van Tuyl.

Mastodons--United States Description The fossilized vertebra of a mastodon found in the Wekiva River in Florida around 1924. The area around the Wekiva River and springs is now known, through fossils and discovered bones, as a major source for large prehistoric animals such as mastodons, mammoths, rhinoceros, giant sloths, horses and alligators. Mastodons are a distinct species from the Proboscidea order that lived in North America almost 11,000 thousand years ago. The mastodon was a herding animal with a diet consisting of a mix of browsing and grazing diets. They were around seven to ten feet tall and weighed roughly four to six tons. While the exact reason for extinction is unknown, it is widely accepted that mastodons disappeared during the mass extinction known as the Pleistocene megafauna.

Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town."

Title Wooden Table from Fort Mellon Alternative Title Fort Mellon Table Subject Tables--United States Description This table, made of wood, was submerged under water for 115 years in Lake Monroe, Florida. The table was initially from the old Fort Mellon dock, built by an individual referred to as "Colonel A. C." in 1836. Fort Mellon, established during the Second Seminole War, was originally named Camp Monroe. The name was later changed after Captain Charles Mellon became the sole causality of an Indian attack year later in 1837. The table measures 46 inches long and 17 inches wide. The table is broken up into three distinct sections, with the end sections having their own design crafted out of wood. The center of the table has an "x" in the center. One hundred and fifteen years later, Sidney M. Richarde discovered and removed the wooden table from Lake Monroe. It was donated to the Museum of Seminole County History by Marlene Heaps and Richard Heaps.

Transcript Youngers My name is Stephanie Youngers. Today is September 23rd, 2010. And I am interviewing Mr. Cecil [A.] Tucker [II], here at the Museum of Seminole County History. Mr. Tucker, how are you? Tucker I’m doing great. Youngers Good. We’ll start with where and when you were born, if you’re willing to give us that information. Tucker Yes. I was born actually in Brevard County in Rockledge. May 26th, 1931. And we lived in Rockledge—my mother and dad and I—for just a few weeks. My dad was working for the state and the tick eradication and his job as a range rider was over in east Orange County. So he moved us to Bithlo. And so, I was in—actually, he was already working for the state and headquartered out of Bithlo when I was born. My mother went over to Cocoa, to where there was some of the family, to help when I was being born. Youngers Oh. Tucker We lived in Bithlo for about six months. And then we moved to Christmas. Youngers Okay. Tucker And that’s another story. Youngers And is that where you live now, is in Christmas? Tucker Yes. Yes. Youngers Okay. How—how was it growing up there? Obviously different from today, but… Tucker You know, Christmas is a kind of unique community. In a lot of respects, there’s some areas of it—we live a lot different today than it was when I was growing up, primarily because the people worked real hard to keep it that way and not let influence come in. Youngers That’s good. Tucker But the community is—always had a—it’s a real close-knit community. And people pretty much look after each other, and help each other out. And the [Fort Christmas] Historical Park in Christmas is helping to preserve some of this kind of history. Youngers And like, we talked about the Cracker Christmas, and that’s one of the main events out there. Tucker Yes. Youngers And I know a lot of people don’t hardly go to Christmas, but during that time of year, you’ll find a lot more people out there. Tucker Cracker Christmas is always the first weekend in December. That also is the time that we have the tree-lighting and carol singing. We have decorated a Christmas tree. A large, living Florida red cedar. We’ve decorated it every year since 1952. Youngers Wow. Tucker And we have the carol singing and tree-lighting. Tree-lighting and carol singing, always the first Sunday in December every year. So Cracker Christmas—that weekend involves usually the tree-lighting and carol singing, as well as what’s going on at the fort. Youngers And is it like crafts and things at the fort? Tucker Yes, at the fort. Crafts and—it’s a real nice festival. It really is. Youngers I know most people that go to Christmas during Christmastime want to get their letters stamped from Christmas. Tucker Yes. That’s an interesting situation. When Mother became Postmaster in 1932, she found out how much people were interested to get their cards postmarked at Christmas time. So she created a Christmas tree cachet that could be put on the extra onto the cards. Youngers The envelope? Tucker Yes. Yeah. And so, she started doing that. And that was in 1934. Youngers And everything is by hand too? Tucker Everything was by hand. Yeah. Youngers Wow. So how many people do you think, on average, would come through there? Tucker Well, it started out, you know—it’d be 30 or 40 thousand a year. Now, we’re probably somewhere between 300 and 500 thousand a year that have this done. But it’s just for those extra, little special things. We don’t get a whole lot of cooperation out of the Post Office Department. Because they consider this an extraneous thing. It creates more problems for them. Youngers Right. But you all still do it out there. Tucker Still do it. Yeah [laughs]. Youngers That’s crazy. Wow. Was there any other kind of events and things that you can remember, growing up? Tucker As I was growing up, the school—the activities at the school pretty much centered—it was the activities in the community. We’d have school plays, and get-togethers at school, a covered dish dinner, and this sort of thing. All those kind of things going on all the time in Christmas. Youngers Right. And the school is located not in Christmas? Tucker Yep. Well, in those days, until 1969, there was a school in Christmas. It started out in the 19—in 18—probably the 1880s. It could have been a little before that. The post office—the church in Christmas was started in 1871, and shortly after that, the school was created in the church, in the building. But we’ve had a school in Christmas ever since, until 1969, when it ended up getting moved to Bithlo. Youngers And that was all the grades throughout? Tucker We had a, it was eight grades. My first eight years of school was in that building. First four grades—we called “The Little Room,” and that was in the small room. That building has been moved to the fort, and is one of the preserved buildings at the fort. The larger room was grades four—five through eight. Youngers And the high school? Tucker Well, in those days, they didn’t—we had a junior high, but it went from ninth grade on. And now they call it, well… Youngers Now they have elementary school, middle school, and high school. Tucker Middle school. Yeah. They call it middle school. So… Youngers And which high school did you go to? Tucker And then I rode a bus to Orlando and went to Memorial Junior High [School] in Orlando, and then I transferred in the tenth grade. I transferred to Orlando High School—OHS. Youngers Okay. And after that, you went to the University of Florida? Tucker Well, I went to Orlando Junior College, which was there in Orlando. It was in the early stages of junior colleges getting started. But I only went one year, because I had in my 4-H work. I had won a scholarship to the University of Florida. And that scholarship was fixing to expire on me, so I had to transfer out of junior college up to the university so I could get my scholarship. Youngers We’ll come back to your schooling. How long were you into the 4-H? I mean, what did you do while you were in there? Tucker I was always very active in 4-H. In fact, when I got on up to—I stayed active in 4-H even when I was in high school. I drove my dad’s cattle truck, and I would haul our dairy heifers to the various shows around. I carried Orange County heifers to Tampa—to the show. Youngers So you showed dairy cows? Tucker Showed dairy cows and beef cattle. Yeah. Youngers Alright. And did you show any hog, or anything like that? Tucker No. Never was very intrigued by hogs. Youngers I can understand. So you won a scholarship through doing your shows and things? Tucker Through the 4-H. yeah. Youngers Well, good. Okay. Tucker Wasn’t a very big scholarship, but in those days, every penny counted. Youngers Exactly. Tucker I think it was $100, or something like that. Youngers Well, good. And that helped you get into the University of Florida? Tucker Well, no, it just helped to pay some of the expenses when I did get in. Youngers When you went there, did they have, like—was it still an all-male college, or… Tucker You know, I need to do a little research on that. It was close. We did have—when I was attending there, it was co-ed. But it was pretty close to the time that it became co-ed, because I went there when—as I was active in 4-H, we used to go to what they called “Short Course.” And we spent a week at the university in the summertime every year. If you won that position in 4-H, you could go to Short Course. So I had been to Short Course, I guess, every year for five, six, seven years. And so I was involved there at the university as a 4-Her long before I got there as a student, so I knew some of the things that was going on. Youngers And they already knew you. They were expecting you. Tucker Yeah. Youngers So is that what you went to college for was for the agriculture? Tucker Yes. Youngers Did they have a specific program? Tucker I was going to major in animal husbandry. And did. Youngers Okay. And you went for four years at the university? Tucker Well, I actually went for four years, and I was thinking about going to vet school. And at that time, the only vet school was in Auburn, Alabama. And I applied, and the earliest I could get in, I would be already out of college. You had to wait two or three years to get in. So I decided I would back up and look at the feasibility of going into—I was interested in either extension agriculture, extension work, or in research. So, I ended up going toward a Master’s degree. So I got my Master’s degree, and had an opportunity to go into extension down in Marion County, in Ocala. And that’s what got me into County Agent. Youngers So after you graduated, you went right into the [Marion County] Extensions Office? Wow. And you were the youngest, one of the youngest in the state? Tucker Well, there were a lot of young assistant county agents my age. But when I became the full agent, I was the youngest at that time of that. Youngers And had you—when you first started out with the Extensions Office, did you work there for a while, or did you just go right into the position that you were in? Tucker I went right in. When I graduated from university, in Marion County, Assistant Agent position opened up. I applied for it, and received it, and went right into it. And so I was very fortunate, because Marion County was one of the most active 4-H counties in the state. They had numerous state titles, teams, judging teams that won. And then 4-Hers that won positions and went to Chicago[, Illinois], or the national deal. And so it was a great county to go into for training. Youngers What did you do at the Extension Office when you first started out there? Tucker Well, I—my job was two-fold. As a—see, at that time, I had a Master’s degree in Animal Husbandry and Nutrition. So, I had a job in Marion County working with the cattle people. And then I had the job of being 4-H Agent. And so, as leader of the 4-Hers, I ended up training judging teams. We had judging teams in dairy, and judging teams in beef, and judging teams in poultry. Youngers And you taught them, like, what to look for in the animal… Tucker Right. In the area of poultry—I didn’t know that much about it, but I found somebody that did. Youngers That seems like it would a little bit more in-depth. Tucker Yep. But we had some good teams. Some great 4-Hers there. Youngers So, when you say, working with the cattle there, like what types of cattle? What types of things did you do with them? Tucker Well, it had to do with the cattlemen on their pastureland, and any problems they had with pastureland. And, of course, we had a number of purebred ranches in the area. Some of them were Brahman, some of them were Shorthorn, some of them were Hereford. And Angus. So it was a good training area for me. Youngers It sounds like it. And how long were you with the Marion County office? Tucker I was with Marion County for two years, and the, just before I left Marion County, the county agent of Marion County—he’d always been quite interested in the Sheriff’s Department, and in fact, he periodically would go on with the Sheriff’s Department on activities, and it became available to him to be able to get appointed as Sheriff. And so he took it. So I was appointed for a brief time as acting county agent in Marion County—big county. Tucker But at the time, I had already applied for the job of County Agent here in Sanford, Seminole County, because it had became available. Youngers And it was closer to home. Tucker And it was the closest one home. Youngers Now, when you were up in Marion County, did you live up there? Tucker Yes. Youngers Okay. Good to know you didn’t try to commute every day. Tucker No, no. I lived there. Youngers So once he took the position as Sheriff, how long until you got to come down here? I mean, did they find someone else? Tucker Yeah. They found someone right away. In fact, I was just Acting Agent to take care of some things at the school. I wasn’t in the county, just for—goodness, it probably wasn’t for more than six or seven months. Youngers Then you come down here. Tucker Yep. Youngers Okay. You want to talk about what you did down here, which was a lot? Tucker The county agent that was here at the time—it was an interesting situation. He had—he had almost retired before his retirement. And some of it’s understandable. During the [Great] Depression, they cut back drastically on salaries. In fact, one of the stories told is: one of the farmers said to him, “Charlie, I heard they cut back your salary. Cut back 25 percent.” [laughs] He says, “Doesn’t that bother you?” Charlie says, “Well, yeah. But no, I just set the lever back 25%percent.” Well, he had done that. And he was fortunate that he was—had been in place for a long time. And the farmers were a little unhappy that when he first came in to the county, he did a tremendous job as county agent. I went through his files and things, and letters and all that he sent out, and he did a remarkable job. But after the episode with the salary and all of that, I think he was fortunate that he was real close friends with the director of Extension. Youngers Goodness. So you came in about mid-1950s, into Seminole County? Tucker In 1956, I came here. The joke in the community was that, well, if you want to look for the county agent, just go down to Roumillat and Anderson’s Drug Store. He’ll be down there in the coffee shop.” So I says, “I tell you what. You won’t find me in Roumillat and Anderson’s. I’m going to go down to the other drug store.” Youngers Oh, goodness. Tucker But Charlie had—Charlie had a good job. It was just there towards the end. Youngers He was ready to go. Tucker Yeah. And some of the old time farmers here, they pretty well understood. And so—but he was—the day came time for him to retire. It was pretty well fixed. Youngers So when you came in, what types of things did you do down here? Tucker Well, one of the first things I did was to begin to get the 4-H going. Because there wasn’t much going in that area. And then I started working on the—bringing all of the mailing lists of the various farms—the citrus growers, the vegetable growers, the cattlemen—bringing those up to date. Charlie pretty well had a list, but he wasn’t keeping all of it up-to-date. And that was one of the things I worked on. Youngers So there was quite a bit of agriculture planting? Tucker Yes. There was. In those days, we still was one of the more active vegetable producing areas in the state. And we had quite a bit of citrus here. We had probably 15 to 18 thousand acres of citrus. Youngers And that was in the Sanford area? Tucker In the Sanford area—Seminole County area. Now, the unique thing about that is, Seminole County is the fourth smallest county in the state in land area. So to have much acreage of anything is a little unique, because of the size of it. Youngers I know the big thing that I’ve heard is, like celery and citrus. Tucker Yes. Youngers But I know there was maybe some other things in there, as well. Tucker Well, in the—in those days, the nursery part of it was not—it was just beginning to come on. And in the ‘70s, we predicted that the nursery part—ornamental, horticultural, nursery—was probably going to outstrip the rest of it. And it has. But that’s just one of those things of how an area changes to meet the needs of the community. Youngers Wow. And what about like agriculture—beef and things? I know there’s still quite a bit of it here, but not as much as it was. Tucker No. In fact, the only thing that is as much as it was is ornamental horticulture. The vegetables has dropped way down. Almost nil right now. Beef cattle is still, over in the eastern part of the county is where most of the traditional pastureland was. And it’s still a lot of it over there. Youngers So that’s like, Geneva? Tucker Geneva. Yep. Youngers Oviedo kind of area. Tucker Chuluota. Yep. Kind of area. Osceola. Youngers Chuluota. Osceola. Okay. Back in those days, was it more prominent? Did it come further into Seminole County, or is it just kind of always in that general area? Tucker It’s always been out in that area, although every area in the county had some cattle scattered in it. Not today, but back in those days. Youngers No. Definitely not today. Now, when you were with the exchange office, you were telling me earlier about getting the new buildings, and even using this building, the county home building,<a title="">[1]</a> as an agricultural office. Could you tell me a little bit more about that? Tucker Alright. Let me back up before that. I probably developed more offices for the county than any other department head. When I became county agent in 1956, we were in the bottom floor of the courthouse. I called it the Salt Mine Section of the courthouse. And it was just basically one big room, which housed my office, the home economics agent’s office, and we had Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation [Service (ASCS)], the old AAA. That office was also in that area. And so, basically, and I was trying to develop part of the program that we provide in extension to farmers is information about agriculture. And some of the best information that Extension has available are the bulletins that they print on the various topics. So, I determined that we were going to have a—when I was working my way through college at the university, one of my jobs, I worked in the bulletin room. And we sent out to county agents all over the state. They would send in an order for so many bulletins of this, so many bulletins of that. And so I was involved in shipping those out to the various agents. So I was pretty well familiar with the—what was available in bulletins. And I determined, in Seminole County, we was[sic] going to have the best supply of bulletins south of Gainesville. And we did. Youngers Wow. What kind of things did the put out for bulletins? Was it like that tell of, like maybe a pest type thing for plants, or… Tucker Right. They would have a bulletin out on chinch-bug control. And a bulletin out on varieties of grasses. You name the topic, and they had it. In vegetables, there was a general vegetable production guide that gave how many pounds of seed, and how you would do for all the vegetables for growing a garden. Youngers So being down here in Seminole County and making more offices, and making more of this information available, you were very helpful to more of the general population here, to help them with their agriculture. Tucker Yeah. And that was part of the making information available. So when I came in to the—to the Salt Mine Section of the courthouse, it was a little bit difficult to do what I wanted to do with the—just that one big room. So, I showed—in those days, the [Seminole County] Clerk of the Court pretty much ran the county. And so, I was to see Mr. Herndon, and I said, “Mr. Herndon, I know we really need a little bit more office space. And the other day, I was downstairs here, on the other side our office in this big storage area down here, and I could regroup a lot of stuff that’s in there, and make an office right there.” He says, “Son, let’s go down there and see what you talking about.” So I went down there and showed him, and he says, “We’ll think about that.” And he agreed, as I recall. I don’t think I even had to restore the stuff. They moved it around. And so we put an office in, and it was an all-inside deal. I didn’t have any—if I’d had claustrophobia, I would have been in trouble, because there wouldn’t have been any windows. Youngers No windows. Wow. Tucker But it provided more wall space to do what I wanted to do. And that was to put these bulletins available for people to see and pick up. Youngers Right. And then did you all stay in that office, or did you eventually move out into the new one? Tucker Well, we were there until the early ‘60s. The judges needed more room. And we had made our space into a pretty nice office area, over the course of time. And so they wanted that space. So again, I says, “Mr. Herndon, there is an abandoned county building. It’s a good building. It has a potential. And what I’d like to do is for us to create a[sic] ag[ricultural] center and move all the agriculture people we’ve got—we’ve got soil conservation, plant inspector, we’ve got ASC here, and put all of us in one area for the farmers just to come into one spot. To see all these things.” And so, he says, “Well, we’ll think about that.” Well they appointed a committee, and I was on the committee, and we created the Ag Center at the Stockade building down here. Youngers And that’s where everybody moved with you. Tucker They all moved with me. Youngers Wow. Tucker Yeah. So then they wanted more space for the road department. And that was shortly about the same time that the county home had moved out of here. And so I said again, “I know where there’s a place that would really work out better for us, because we’re a little bit crowded here for all the people for the Ag Center.” And they agreed to it. Youngers So you made this entire area here? Tucker This entire building became the Ag Center. Youngers Wow. And how long was that office here? Tucker From the middle ‘60s until 19—I think Frank [Jazzen] moved over into the new Ag Center in the mid-70s.<a title="">[2]</a> I had already left as county agent at that time. Youngers And how long were you County Agent? Tucker Thirteen and a half years. Youngers Wow. So what did you do when you were done being the county agent? Tucker I had an opportunity to go into a farming operation growing watercress down in Oviedo. Went into a watercress-growing enterprise, another young fellow and I. And after a couple of years, well, we ended up merging with Don Weaver and his brother-in-law, and created B&W Quality Growers. That grew into a pretty sizeable watercress-growing operation. We were the largest in the eastern part of the United States. And we had farms in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Florida. Later on, I got out of that. And Joe Baker, who had Baker’s Dairy over here, was interested in my coming to work for him. In fact, when he found out I had gone into the watercress, he says, “Cecil, you, uh, I didn’t know you was[sic] available.” I said, “Joe, I probably wasn’t available for anything except what I did.” Because it was a good opportunity that I got into. Anyway, when I got out of the watercress deal, I went to see Joe. He says, “Yeah. I’m still interested in you.” And he says, “When can you start?” I says, “Well, I got a couple of things I got to finish at home. I’ll need a couple of weeks.” He says, “No. I need you to start Monday.” Youngers Alright then. Tucker So, I managed Baker’s Dairy here for a couple of years. And then, well, let’s see. I got out of Extensions in 1969. And then I was in the watercress business for a couple of years. And then I managed Baker’s Dairy for I guess it was about a year and a half on each one of them. In 1972, I opened my own farm and garden supply store in Sanford. Tucker’s Farm and Garden Center. And we ran that as a family operation for the next 30 years. Youngers And it’s Myer’s now? Tucker Yeah. Horstmeyer [Farm and Garden]. Horstmeyer. Yeah. Youngers And when did you sell that there? Tucker Well, I sold it to my son in 198—1983. That’s when I moved to Christmas. Let’s see, ’83-’84 —somewhere along in there. And he sold it to his friend, Horstmeyers[sic], in—about 15 years later. Youngers So during the time that you lived—or that you worked—out here in Seminole County, did you still live in Christmas? Tucker No. I’ve always lived in—from the time I came here as County Agent, I’ve lived here in Seminole County. I didn’t move back to Christmas until I sold the store and moved back to Christmas in the mid-80s. Youngers So you lived in the Oviedo-Chuluota area? Tucker No. Always right here in Sanford. Actually, over here is what’s called Citrus Heights. That’s where we lived. Youngers The whole time? Tucker The whole time. Yeah. Well, I shouldn’t say the whole time, because I bought a house on Rosalia Drive, and we lived there a few years, and then I lived out her. [laughs]. Youngers Now, during all this time you met a lovely lady? Tucker Actually, I met her and courted her while we were in college at the university. Youngers So she went to University of Florida too? TuckerShe went to the university for a while. Her mother had to have an operation, and that was money sending her to college had to be used. And so by that time, she and I had gotten pretty serious, and she got a job working for an orange packing company in Orlando. And after—I don’t know—a little over a year we ended up getting married. And then she came back to the university. Youngers How’d you win her over? Did you do anything special? Or did you just say, “Alright, woman...” Tucker We need to make that a continued story. I’ll be right back. Tucker Now then, you was[sic] wanting to know about my wife. Youngers Yes, sir. Tucker Well, during the year that she was—I knew her—knew of her—before we got to university. I doubt if she knew too much about me beforehand, but we—I was a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, agricultural fraternity there, and I would invite her every guest night to come over to the fraternity house and eat with us. And so they got to be pretty—and by the way, you’ll want to put Ms. [Mart Albritton] Tucker on your list as one to do an oral interview. Youngers I will do that. Tucker Because she is an old-time—as an Albritton, old-time Florida family. But she’s been active here in Seminole County. She helped me in to get the store going. She’s active in the cattle operation. In fact, when I was running the store, she did as much of the cattle work as I did. We had a—a pet at the store. It was a wild pig that became pretty well-known in the community. She used to take it on a leash downtown when she went to make the deposit at the bank. She’d carry the pig with her. Youngers What was his name? Tucker Pete. Streaky Pete. Pete the Pig. And he grew to be about 700 pounds. But anyway, that’s another story. But she was active in the [Seminole County] Farm Bureau—in the women’s deal at the Farm Bureau. She was active in 4-H, doing some of the judging, and some of the 4-H activities here. And of course, when we were opening the store, she was part of that. So she’d be another one. Youngers And she—so you all married before you graduated? Tucker Right. Youngers So she went to Marion County with you? Tucker Yes. In fact—well, let’s see. Before I got my Master’s, she was expecting my daughter. And she typed my thesis. And then when we moved to Ocala, uh—trying to remember at what point—my daughter was born before then. Youngers And you have one daughter? Tucker I’ve got one daughter and two sons—twins. They were born on my daughter’s second birthday. And then, we have an adopted daughter, as well. Youngers And you all have always had cattle in your family? Tucker Yes. Youngers Put your boys to work? Tucker We’ve had cattle in our family since as far as we can tell, going back into the 1700s. And that’s another thing I’m researching, because one of these days, that’s going to be a part of my book too. Youngers Wow. That’s a long time. Okay. As far as the cattle in your family—the history—that’ll be good? Tucker Yeah. Youngers Do you have anything else that you want to add to our… Tucker Well, let’s see. Well, there’s a lot of things we could go into and talk about [laughs]. Youngers We could always come back and talk about different things, if you wanted to. Tucker The problem of being able to have—to build a program when the county didn’t have any funds, it was a problem. I needed—and of course, I was always on the low-end of the pay scale. If it wasn’t for the fact that this is where I wanted to be, I’d have gone somewhere else. In fact, when I left to go into the watercress, I was offered a job paying me twice as much I was in extension. And he couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t take it. Because my opportunity that I was going into was better [laughs]. Youngers Right. Tucker Well, let me look here. See if there’s anything—this is interesting. When I came to the county, the phone number for the county agent’s office was 470. Youngers 470? That’s it? [laughs] Tucker [laughs] 470. That’s it. But we went through the medfly infestation, we went through the fire burning the [Sanford State] Farmers’ Market down, and having to help get things going for it to build back up. We had, in ’57—late ’57, early ’58 —a severe freeze deal that actually we had cattle dying, because there wasn’t enough hay, and we brought in hay for that. We had—one of the projects that I worked on was the eradication of screwworms. And my dad was involved in that. That was one of the miracles of using atomic energy to eradicate the screwworm fly. The female fly mates only once. And so they found that if they would raise screwworm flies and eradiate them with atomic energy deal, it sterilized the males, and they put these male flies out in the area, and they mate with the wild females, and the eggs wouldn’t hatch. And by continually doing that, they lowered the population of the screwworm fly to completely eradicate it. Youngers Really? So it’s gone for good? Tucker Yes. Yes. it’s gone. Youngers Wow. That’s amazing. Tucker And my dad was involved in that. He was an inspector. And in fact, some of the first pastures that they put the medfly—I mean the screwworm fly—out in was his pasture. So, when I was County Agent, of course I would make contact with the cattle people, and pass along the information to him about what was going on, and if there was an outbreak somewhere, they’d get on top of it. Youngers Did they still have the technique of doing the cow dipping? Tucker Yes. Now, the cow dipping—this was to eliminate the cattle tick—the fever tick. And in the early ‘50s, they was[sic] still—in fact, my dad worked with that. There’s still a lot of the, uh, dipping going on. Getting rid of the fever tick. And that lasted until, I guess, the early ‘60s. Youngers Right. Is that something that they were able to just control? Tucker They were able to control it by dipping continually. They were able to eliminate the fever tick. After they wiped out a bunch of the deer who was perpetuating it. And some of your family was involved in that. Youngers Yes, sir. Tucker Oh, let’s see. We had a fire ant infestation that came into the county and we almost got it eliminated by flying [Boeing] B-17s [Flying Fortress], and putting out Myrex, until the do-gooders got involved and killed the program. Youngers And we still have fire ants. Tucker And we still have fire ants, and we’ll always have fire ants. But we came about within two flights of eliminating them. Youngers Wow. Now, did that have any—the chemicals used, did it have any effect on people? Is that why people got involved? Tucker The problem is it could create some problem in the water and affect fish, and that sort of thing. But we could have eliminated that. You know, by staying away from those areas. Anyway. Well, let’s see. Any other questions? Youngers No. Not if there’s anything. I mean, I have lots of questions. I know you’re big into the rodeo, and you’ve done a lot for 4-H, and different things like that, but we can come back maybe and talk about that another other time. Tucker Well, what do—yeah. Make a list. And we’ll do it. And like I said, I think you need to interview my wife, because I think you’ll find that to be interesting, as well. Youngers Absolutely. Tucker There’s a lot of little ins and outs of what went on here in the county. Youngers Well, I’ll definitely schedule a day with her, so she can come in and talk to me. Tucker Good deal. Youngers Well, I appreciate it very much. Tucker And I appreciate your being on board to help do these things. Youngers Absolutely. Tucker We want to look through the list of people and be sure that we get some—thing of it is, we’re five years late on a lot of people that passed on. Joe Baker, he—would have been great to be able get his. And I want to set up Don Weaver. Youngers Okay. Tucker Don Weaver and his family was—they came here from Pennsylvania. But they are pioneers in the watercress industry in the United States. And he lives down in Chuluota, on the south side of Lake Mills. And we’ll work out getting that set up. Anything else? Youngers No, sir. Tucker Okay.

Title Lake Howell High School Senior Powderpuff Cheerleading Squad, 2005 Alternative Title Lake Howell High Powderpuff Subject Winter Springs (Fla.) Schools Cheerleading--United States Description Lake Howell High School senior Powderpuff cheerleading squad in 2005. Lake Howell High School is a public high school located at 4200 Dike Road in Winter Park, Florida. Although its mailing address is Winter Park, which is part of Orange County, the school is geographically located in Seminole County and serves students in Winter Springs and Oviedo. The school was established in 1975 and has over 2,000 students. The term "powderpuff" is used describe the participation of females in traditionally male sports, such as football, and the participation of males in traditionally female sports, such as cheerleading. Powderpuff football games are a tradition for many American high schools and universities. The first powderpuff football game was held on October 20, 1945, at Eastern State Teachers College in Madison, South Dakota. The idea for a female football team arose out of the lack of male football players due to the military draft during World War II. Powderpuff became popularized in 1972 when two high schools in Connecticut, Mark T. Sheehan High School and Lyman Hall High School, held a game between their female students.

Title Lake Howell High School Senior Powderpuff Team, 2005 Alternative Title Lake Howell High Powderpuff Subject Winter Springs (Fla.) Schools Football--Florida Sports--Florida Description Lake Howell High School senior Powderpuff flag football team in 2005. Lake Howell High School is a public high school located at 4200 Dike Road in Winter Park, Florida. Although its mailing address is Winter Park, which is part of Orange County, the school is geographically located in Seminole County and serves students in Winter Springs and Oviedo. The school was established in 1975 and has over 2,000 students. The term "powderpuff" is used describe the participation of females in traditionally male sports, such as football, and the participation of males in traditionally female sports, such as cheerleading. Powderpuff football games are a tradition for many American high schools and universities. The first powderpuff football game was held on October 20, 1945, at Eastern State Teachers College in Madison, South Dakota. The idea for a female football team arose out of the lack of male football players due to the military draft during World War II. Powderpuff became popularized in 1972 when two high schools in Connecticut, Mark T. Sheehan High School and Lyman Hall High School, held a game between their female students.

Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town."

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

I am at the Museum of Seminole County History, interviewing Bobby Martin. If we could just start—could you just tell me where you were born? Martin Yes, sir. I was born in Tampa, Florida, Hillsborough County. Motta And what year was that? Martin 1944. Motta So what brought you over to Central Florida? Martin My dad’s employment, basically. Motta And, what was he in? Martin Well, at that time, I believe he was working for the Imperial Oil Company. I believe he was. And I was about three, four years old when we moved up here from Tampa. Motta And you said, a little earlier, that you fished with him. Did he have experience fishing in the fishing industry as well? Martin Yeah, absolutely. Well, to get to that, we’ll have to fast forward to 1960 or ’61. Motta Oh, okay. Well, we’ll take it a little slower then. When you got here—could you describe your house. Your… Martin Absolutely. Motta Your—just your house, neighborhood. How it was then? Martin Sure. We moved up here—I’ll tell you this. My dad bought a house in Tampa when I was a baby. My mother told me this. They borrowed money from my grandmother. For $600, they bought a house. They paid the house off. And from that day forward, my dad never had a house mortgage. He was able to—to wheel and deal, and he never had a mortgage. But the story is that we moved up here, and our first house was down by the Dog Track Road in Longwood, at the intersection of [Florida State Road] 17-92. It had a hand pump, for water, and it’s what they call a “shotgun house.” That means you can look in the front door and look right out the back door. That’s how they were built then—bedrooms on one side. And then, from there, we moved on up into Longwood, rented a house. And in 1948--about 1950, I guess—my dad built a house physically himself. Built us a house and raised four kids in that house for 21 years. And then after that—wasn’t long after that time period—I went to Vietnam, and while I was gone, Mom and Dad moved to another house, and then to another house. And, make a long story short, my dad has passed now, and my mother lives in assisted living here in Sanford at Renaissance Retirement [Center]. Motta So you, did you go to Vietnam right after high school, or... Martin No, I was—no. I was—went to Vietnam in ’67, and ’68. Motta Were you drafted, then? Martin I was drafted. Yeah. And I obtained the rank of sergeant, did the best I could, and came home. And in the military I was a wheeled-vehicle mechanic. And, other than that, I was involved in the commercial fishing industry before I went to Vietnam, but not very much before. About—we went into the commercial fishing in about 1961. And I can tell you how that happened, if you want to hear it. Motta Well, you said you were a mechanic in the.. Martin Military. Motta Was that—have you always had an interest in that? Is that why you... Martin Yeah. Mm-hm. Motta All right. And, would you like to continue? Were you about to... Martin Yeah, I was gonna tell you—did you want me to tell you how we started in the fishing industry, or did you want to go somewhere else? Motta Well, what was the impact of the fishing industry like when you were younger, before you got into—before you went to Vietnam? Martin Yeah. Okay. Exactly. Well, the way it happened was, I had never heard of a commercial fisherman on the river prior to 1961 or thereabouts. My dad had a gas station at the corner of Airport Boulevard, which at that time was Anora Road and 17-92. The building still stands today. We were in the gas station one day, and two men pulled in in an old car, and they looked bad. And the old car was a 1937 four-door DeSoto sedan—had no backseat. It was a huge. It was as big as a barn. It was a huge car. And they came in for gas, and my daddy walked out to that car and looked in the back of that car, and there were two garbage cans in the back, and they were full of catfish. Well, Clarence Coir and Cecil Dile were in that car, and they got to talking about those catfish. Well, our family’s always loved to fish, but we never did commercial fishing. And, when my dad found out that you could actually earn a living catching fish, it wasn’t very long before the gas station was history, and we obtained ourselves a little boat, and we began to commercial fish. Motta So he sold the gas station to get a boat? Martin That’s right. Right. Motta All right. Well, so, that was when you were in your teens, or earlier than that? Martin Early twenties. That was about 1961, ’62, I guess. Right along in there. Motta So, when you came back from Vietnam, did you get back into that industry, or were you, like, looking for other jobs before then? Martin Well, as a matter of fact, before I went to Vietnam—before I was drafted—I was involved in commercial fishing with my dad. He had his boat, and I had my boat. Now, these weren’t big boats like you see in the ocean. These were just river skiffs, basically, is what we fished out of. Motta Do you remember about how long they were? Martin Yep. They were around 14 to 16 feet, and some of them were flat-bottomed, and some of them were what they call a “skip jack.” A skip jack is just a small boat, usually with a big engine on it, and it has a very sharp bow, so that when you carry a load in it, it’ll break the waves on the rough lake, and it’s stable. The flat-bottomed boats were better for calm water. So we got our two boats, we went to commercial fishing. The kind of commercial fishing we did from 19—approximately ’61, ‘til the time I went in the service—we used a trot line. Do you know what a trot line is? Motta No. Martin Trot line is a very, very, very long piece of string, with a lot of hooks on it. You see that in the Deadliest... Motta Oh, Deadliest… Martin [The] Perfect Storm! Motta Oh, okay. Martin [The] Perfect Storm, they’re catching big fish. But it’s the same theory. It’s a long line about… Motta And you just drag it along the… Martin No, they’re put out. Motta Oh. Martin They’re a quarter-mile long. And you go down the line on your little boat, and you knock the fish in the boat, bait the hook back, and go to the next hook, and so on, ‘til you progress down the line. Motta This was in Lake Monroe or Lake Jesup? Martin At that time, that was Lake Jesup, only. Motta Okay. Martin There were other fishermen doing the same thing, but my dad and I, at that time, fished out of Lake Jesup. We put our boats in Tuskawilla Road—used to run right down to the lake. It was a dirt road. And there was a bunch of wino commercial fishermen that lived there in the woods. Now, in that camp where they lived, they had a wooden nail keg—a wooden barrel—buried in the ground, and the groundwater seeped in through the cracks. And they would drink that water, and I saw maggots in that water. And they would live in this old camp. Well, at that time, we left our boats right there at the boat, along the bank, ‘cause people didn’t steal your stuff then. We’d just drive down there, get in our boats, and go fishing, and come back, and beach the boat, and go sell our fish down at the fish house. Right across the road from Lowe’s, yeah, there was an establishment called Waits’—I don’t know how you spell “Waits”—their last name was Waits—Fish House. And they were a commercial fish outlet—inlet, whatever, distributor. And we would sell our fish at that fish house. Motta And where was this? What Lowe’s? What location? Martin Across the road from Lowe’s in Sanford. Motta Okay. So… Martin Right where the Walmart is. Motta Okay. So pretty much all the commercial fishing was done in the lake. It wasn’t on the rivers usually? Martin Well, see, at that time, we were fishing in the lake. There was commercial fishing in both lakes and the river, and all up in North Florida. It was all statewide. But I’m just referring to what my dad and I did. Motta Okay. So how many fishermen usually were in the—well, commercial fishermen—in Lake Jesup? Martin Okay. Well Lake Jesup—I’ll say at any given time—people were running trot line. There might have been a dozen, I guess. But, see, when you’re running trot lines that are a quarter of a mile long, you run three or four of them. It takes up quite a large area. Motta It seems like there might be a risk of them getting tangled. Was that ever a possibility? Martin Yeah. What would happen when one trot line—when one man would put his trot line unbeknownst to the other, across his, there was a common courtesy that when you ran your trot line, it would pick his up, and you would tie them together. And then when he saw that his line was on top of yours—so he would take his up, you see. Common courtesy. Motta So there was like an unspoken code, pretty much? Martin Yeah. Motta All right. Martin And sometimes it ended up in not so pleasant situations, but most of the time it worked pretty well. Motta Well, were there any… Martin Physical altercations? Motta Or just any feuds or anything between… Martin Yeah. There were always territorial wars on the lake. “I’m fishing this end of the lake.” “Well, you don’t own this lake. You don’t have a deed to it.” Back and forth, and so on, you know. “You go fish in that section,” and “I was here first,” and that kind of childish bickering went on constantly. Motta Did it ever escalate above just shouting or... Martin Mm-hm. Yeah. In some cases, it got physical. There were some boats sunk at different times. Hostility. But that was a rare occasion. Motta You say boats sunk? How exactly did that… Martin Well, there are stories. And, you know, I have to confess. I’m gonna relay a story or two to you that were stories that were relayed to me, and I don’t know how much foundation there was to them. Motta Okay. Martin But I would—from that industry, I would say they’re probably pretty well true. One of the stories is that one gentleman had his trot lines out—now, these lines, you leave them—at that time, you would leave them in the water, and you would take the fish off and re-bait the hook, and go on down the line. So the lines stayed in the water, at that time. And this gentleman had his line out, and when he went out to his line, there were some people—sports fishermen—fishing out there, and they had his trot line on up out of the water. Well, now, this gentleman had a skip jack with a great big stack of motor on the back of it, and he was probably running 100 horse[power] or better. Boat probably run 70 miles an hour. So he pulled up to them. He said, “What you all doing?” And they said, “We’re taking some catfish off this trot line.” He said, “Well, isn’t that something?” Then he fired that motor up, and he made a big circle out there on the lake ‘til he got her up running good and fast, and he cut that boat in half, and he put both of them in the water. So, that kind of stuff would go on, you know, occasionally. But I gotta tell you, my friend, that’s a rare occasion. That didn’t happen every day. Motta Did all the commercial fishermen kind of stick together if there was some kind of… Martin Confrontation? Motta Water sports? Martin Sports fishermen. Motta Is that what you refer to them? Martin Yeah. You had commercial fishermen, then you had your sports fishermen. That was always a conflict there. Motta And you pretty much stuck together if there was any kind of… Martin Yeah, but we didn’t gang up on people. Motta All right. Martin We weren’t that type. Motta You weren’t looking to… Martin It was—looking at it from the sportsmen’s objective[sic] is that they were right in their complaint that we had these lines all over the lake, and they’re out there drifting for speckled perch. Some people call them “crappie.” They’re drifting, deep, then their line’d get hung on it, and they’re [inaudible]. They’d wind it all in. Well, it’s a trot line. And they’d get their motors caught in them, so it was probably a nuisance. At the same time, we’d go out to our trot lines and find them cut in two, and they’re all tangled up, and the fish all make big balls out of the trot lines. So there was always some kind of a war going on out there, but it was usually verbal. Motta So how long did you have the lines out at a time? Like, when you went out on the lake? How long was that? Martin What we would do—we’d go out about daylight. Motta Okay. Martin We’d walk along the shoreline with a little net and we’d catch shrimp. There were brine shrimp that lived in the river, if you didn’t know that. They look like any other shrimp, but they’re just smaller. And we would bait our trot lines with them. So, we would put our lines out, bait them up, and we would actually— we’d get probably—maybe a couple weeks before we had to pull them back up and then re-hook them, you see. Put new hooks on the lines, ‘cause the hooks, after a while, they’ll deteriorate, rust, begin to break, get dull. So you had to put new hooks on your trot lines. So you would bring it in, put it in a big tub, bring it in, cut the old hooks off, put new hooks on, put it on a special rack that I’ll tell you about later, and we’d go put the line back out in the water. Now, later on, this type of fishing—when I got back from Vietnam, I met a family that had come up here from Clewiston, and they were deep into commercial fishing all their lives. And they knew a technique that I did not know, and they would put the lines out at dusk, and pick the line up in the morning, and just knock the fish off of it. They would call it “boating the line.” They’d put the line in a tub, and they’d take the line home, and put it on this rack I’m telling you about, and repair any damage to it, jump it out at dusk, and the same process. They called that “jump lining.” Well, they taught me how to do that. This family kind of just took me in. They just liked me, I guess. And, so they taught me how to jump line. So from that point, my dad and I kind of separated in that he remained in Lake Jesup doing what we call “stay lining” or leaving them overboard, and I migrated up into the river and Lake Monroe, because now I started fishing at night. I started using different kind of equipment, different kind of light. My dad didn’t use lights. He’d fish in the daytime. I started using lights, and I started jumping the lines out in the evening, picking them up in the morning, and playing all day. I was single and running crazy. Motta So about how old were you when you and your dad split up the boat? Martin That would have been about 1970, I guess. Something like that. We didn’t part enemies. I just took on a different kind of fishing. And for 10 years—after I got back from Vietnam—for 10 years, I lived on various kinds of boats on the river. I actually lived on the river. And Archie Smith at Sanford Boat Works [& Marina]—finally I moved one of my boats into his marina. And after he talked to me for a while, he asked me if I would like to run his little store there on the weekends. And I said, “Sure!” Motta It’s like a bait shop, or... Martin Well, what it was—no bait—it was what is called a “ship store.” They’d sell screws and hardware and bilge pumps. Of course, they had their yachts in the marina. So, I went to work one weekend, and my next day off was a year later. I ended up working seven days a week! [laughs] But I still fished at night. Archie’s a great guy. This guy—you know Archie? Motta I’m trying to get an interview with him, actually. Martin You’ve got to. You’d better have some time, though, ‘cause he’s got a lot to tell you. He’s a wonderful man. And anyway, I lived in the marina and worked at the marina for five years, but I was still commercial fishing and still living on my boat. But I bought and sold, back and forth, different boats to live on, always making a profit. And I lived on boats for 10 years, on the river, and that was a cool thing to do. Motta Sounds kind of nice, actually. Martin Yeah. Motta So the lines, that was pretty much—the trot lines, that was the way to catch fish? You didn’t use—you only used the nets for the shrimp and... Martin Okay. That’s a good question. Now we’re gonna get in the part where we’re gonna talk about some poaching. Motta Okay. Martin With a trot line, basically, you can’t poach, ‘cause it’s all legal. But now, when I moved up into the river, and I fell in with some friends up here. We began to do what they call “monkey fishing.” And most people, they don’t know what monkey fishing is. It’s just—I don’t guess it’s a local name been given to it—but it’s using electric generator. And these generators generally come in the old field phone or an old crank telephone. It’s an armature with a series of bar magnets stacked over the armature, and when it spins, it generates an electrical current. Well, my daddy had one of those monkeys—we’d call it—in his old shop, when I was a little boy. You running out of time? And I saw that thing laying in the shop for years. I didn’t know what it was. Well then, when I fell in with these guys and I found out what a monkey was, I said, “I’ve got one of those.” And I went home and I got that monkey and I fastened it to a board, and I hooked an electric motor to it. And brother, we went fishing. Now when you turn that monkey on, if you turn it too fast, it doesn’t work. If you turn it too slow, it doesn’t work. There’s a certain rhythmic impulse for that machine, which is relatively slow, the catfish can’t stand. It doesn’t affect any scale fish. It doesn’t affect eels, gar, brim, stingrays—nothing but catfish. And so, we would go out at night with very powerful headlights. My light was a landing light off of an aircraft. It was about a half a million candlepower. And we would run that monkey, we’d put a wire over each side of the boat, and the fish would literally try to get out of the water. They’d come up to the top, and they’re running around, and we’ve got long poles with nets on them. When that started, we’d dip them up and put them in the boat. Motta So they’d be jumping out of the water? Martin Yeah, they’d jump up on the banks. Some of them would jump in the boat. It was crazy. We’d be laughing. It was funny. But it was illegal. I gotta tell you, it was illegal. But we made a lot of money doing that. And, so, I’ll say this—and I want this to go on the record—because that monkey machine, as we’d call it, will not work in any water at all times. There are several conditions that have to be favorable for its function. The water has to be low, basically a drought situation—wintertime low. Water has to be hot, disgusting, nasty. Usually it’s green with algae. But what happens in that process—and a lot of commercial fishermen don’t understand this the alkalinity in that water is magnified, because the water volume is reduced, thus condensing the amount of alkalinity in that water. Now the river’s a battery. It’s a conductor. You put the two wires over it, now you’ve got a current flowing, as well as radiating, and it drives the fish crazy. If it rains a lot and dilutes that water, or the water’s high—still diluted—you lose that connection, and it doesn’t work at all. So we knew that it would only work in the summertime. But that’s why. It has to do with the alkalinity and acidity in the water. Motta This sounds like a kind of complicated process. Is this something that most fishermen knew, or was it something like you guys just figured out after a while? Martin I think we all knew it, but I don’t think a lot of the commercial fishermen—and I was one. So I guess, I wasn’t of the same mind as most commercial fishermen, I gotta tell you. I’m not better than them, I just came from a different spoke of the wheel. I would investigate things. I take things apart now. I have an inquisitive mind. So I delved into why this thing worked. They don’t give a hoot. All they care is if it works or it don’t[sic] work. But anyway, that’s why I was able to share with you why it works, and why sometimes it doesn’t. Now, I don’t wanna get long-winded, but I could tell you something else phenomenal about commercial fishing. There is a time of year that you will catch more fish on a trot line with no bait than you will with bait. And they call it “fishing empty hooks.” And you ask a commercial fisherman, “Why is that?” “I don’t know! Just this time of year. They bite empty hooks.” Well, I did some investigating. When acidic water is acidic water, as opposed to pure water, it’s a good conductor. It’s also corrosive. When you drop a metallic object into corrosive water, on whatever scale, it will begin to deteriorate. It’s called “electrolysis action.” It rusts. It corrodes. When it does that, it puts out a minute electrical aura around that which is deteriorating. You understand that. Iron deteriorating in air, when it gets wet, is called “oxidation.” Metal deteriorating in water, going through the same process, I guess it’s oxidation. It’s a mixing of a metal with oxygen. But it occurs under the water, and it generates a small electrical charge. A catfish’s whiskers are so ultra-sensitive, he doesn’t even need eyes. And I’ve got a book on this—I’ve read this, so I’m not just spinning you a yarn. They are so ultra-sensitive, that in itself is why the monkey affects only catfish. And it won’t affect any other kind of fish. Now the state uses a generator to bring up scale fish to do a count. They’re using an AC [alternating current] voltage. Well, the monkey’s putting out a DC [direct current] voltage. And they use 110 volts—a different kind of electricity to affect the scale fish. But anyway, that’s why a certain time of the year, you can catch more fish on a trot line on empty hooks than you can with bait, because the fish goes for that electrical aura. That’s how catfish can find food. They can actually find food by that. Any living thing has a small—you have electricity in your body. Well, I don’t care how small the organism is, it has an aura, and the catfish can find their food with that. So when they swim by that hook, and they go, “Oh, this is lunch,” and they grab it. And there will be fish on almost every hook. But the water condition has to be right. When that water’s diluted, all of a sudden that doesn’t work. We’ve caught thousands of pounds of fish on pink Camay soap. And you could always tell when the fish were biting on the pink Camay soap, because you’d go into the store, and all the soap displays were all crumbled, because the commercial fisherman would pick up the bar of soap and shove his thumbnail in it. If he could push his thumbnail in it, the bar of soap was a nice, fresh bar, and you could cut it up. If you couldn’t push your thumbnail in it, he didn’t want that one. So they’d destroy all the pink Camay. And they would only bite on pink Camay. So we’ve caught catfish in a commercial way on pink Camay soap. Shrimp—local shrimp here in the river—there’s brine or grass shrimp, snails. The bottoms of these lakes and the river are just literally covered with millions of snails. There’s a certain way you get the snail out of his shell to put it on the hook. Watermelon produces large channel catfish. But not many of them, but the thing of it is, would you rather clean five great big fish, or two hundred little bitty fish? So we would use watermelon sometimes. Watermelon. Cantaloupe was a good producer of large channel cats. I think that somehow the large channel cats, believe it or not, they must favor something sweet. I have a friend right now that’s running trot line right now, today, he’s baiting with corn, canned corn, and he’s just cleaning house. Motta [laughs] I would never imagine that would… Martin Well, see. That’s another reason I’m glad we’re having this interview. And this stuff could—that’s why I asked you on the phone, “Could this be a long interview?” This could go on—I could tell you stuff like this for days. And you don’t have that kind of time, let alone that amount of stuff on that machine. So anyway. Therein lies that. And in Lake Monroe, we would do the trot line. Now if you want, I’ll get into other methods we caught fish. Motta Well, let me just ask you this quickly. The device—monkey? What’d you call it, the monkey? Martin A monkey. Motta Okay. You said that wasn’t really legal, technically. Martin Not legal at all! No way. Motta Was there, at that time—what kind of presence did the fish and wildlife have? Like, were they patrolling the rivers and the lakes a lot? Martin Yeah. Yeah. Motta Like, did you have to watch out for them? Martin Very much so. That’s a good question, Daniel. Matter of fact, what we would do, occasionally—sometimes we just went monkey fishing, but occasionally, we would go down to, we would drive down to Mullet Lake Park, or we’d go down to [Lake] Harney, or we’d park right here across the river at 17-92. We’d go to that park at night. Well, it’s closed. We’d drive around behind the park, and come up the back way, and come under the fence. And we’d go down to the boat ramp, make sure the game warden wasn’t in. Now, if his truck was sitting there, we knew he was in the area. So if his truck wasn’t there, now we drove down to Mullet Park and it wasn’t there, we had a full, pretty fair shot that he wasn’t in our area, and we’d go monkey fishing. So, but, the game warden… Motta So it was kind of a risk, a little bit, or... Martin I’m sorry? Motta Was it kind of a risk, or... Martin Absolutely. Every time we went monkey fishing, it was a risk. But the game warden and the average commercial fisherman didn’t have a real good rapport. I happened to have had a good rapport with the game warden. I respected him. He was a good man. A lot of guys didn’t. And he almost caught me doing some illegal things, but he never caught me. He never caught me, brother. [laughs] But anyway, the game wardens were always—it was like the old movies—cowboys and Indians. The cowboys chase the Indians, or the Indians chase the cowboys. And it was that kind of a thing, you know. But he’d catch—occasionally catch somebody and write them up, and then there was always a dispute. If he caught somebody doing something illegal in Lake Monroe, when they went to court, the commercial fisherman would say, “Well, where did you catch me?” And he’d say, “I caught you in Lake Monroe.” And he would say, “Well, where in Lake Monroe did you catch me?” Because the county line runs right through the middle of the lake. So, and a lot of times, it was thrown out of court. [laughs] Motta So what were these other methods of fishing you were... Martin Now there’s a—fish traps, at that time, when I was doing that, were illegal. Now, I didn’t get into the trapping much. Motta What kind of traps were they? Martin Good question. A trap was made, basically, with chicken wire. Now, picture in your mind a round tube made of chicken wire, approximately 18 inches to 2 feet in diameter, 3 feet high—maybe 4. Now pinch one end of that tube shut. So it’s seamed at the bottom, now it’s open at the top, in which there is an inverted funnel laid on its side on the bottom of the lake with food in it. Catfish would go in the funnel, and they’re too stupid to find their way out. They turn around, now they’re against—between the trap and the funnel, and they can’t get out. And they just continue to fill up, fill up with catfish. And when the person—you would tie that to a long line, like a trot line—when you would run your trap string, as they called it, you’d pull the trap up, you unzip the bottom of it, drop your fish out, close it back up, threw some more bait in there, you threw her back overboard. Motta And this was illegal, as well? Martin At that time, it was. It isn’t now. At that time, trapping was not legal. Motta Is there a reason why—do you know why that became illegal? It doesn’t seem very harmful. Martin Well, I don’t know the particulars as to why it would be illegal, unless it would be because of the amount of fish harvested. Other than that, I don’t know why. I just know it was illegal, and if they would catch you, they would confiscate your traps, stomp them all down, and then put you in jail. Motta Oh, really? Martin Yeah. Motta They’d jail you? Martin If they caught you with the stuff, yeah. But a lot of people were doing it. But I never did the trap. I don’t know why. I was always content to do the trot line. I was a trot liner. And then I got into monkey fishing. Now there’s another method of fishing that we—oh, this was fun, brother. Out off the coast of Florida, they do a lot of shrimping. Behind those boats, they pull what’s called a “shrimp trawl.” Do you know what that is? Motta No. Martin Have you seen a shrimp boat? Motta Yes. Martin It’s got the two things sticking up here. When they’re out in the ocean, they’re called “outriggers.” They’ll drop them down. And from those—back behind the boat are two long ropes tied to a very wide-mouth net, and it comes down to what they call a “sock.” This is wide at the beginning. It comes down to a long tube. They drag that along the ocean bottom, and that’s how they catch the shrimp that you put on your dinner table. We had a shrimp net—a trawl, as it was called. Well, we would pull the trawl on Lake Monroe, with 100 horse Mercury. Now, you couldn’t pull it very fast, ‘cause it was 35 feet wide and dragging the bottom. Had a cork line on top to hold the top up, and it had a lead line on the bottom to hold the bottom down. So it was bagged out, and you would drag that along the bottom of the lake, and you would catch your catfish that way. And that was easy pickings there. It’d take a long time, but see, you could get caught doing that, too. You had to always be on the lookout for the game warden out there in the lake. This was done at nighttime, with no lights. Motta And you said you did participate in that kind of… Martin I’m sorry? Motta You did use that kind of a method sometimes? Martin Yeah. Yep. Pulled a trawl in Lake Monroe, right down the channel, catch all kinds of catfish. But once again, that was illegal. Very illegal. Motta You keep saying “catfish.” Is that pretty much all—the catfish—that was pretty much the prize fish you… Martin Yeah. Now, catfish was a legal fish. Now, once you caught that catfish, and took it to market, nobody cared. I mean, it was just a fish on the market. So if you trapped it, if you monkeyed it up, if you dug it with a trawl, or however, once you took it to market, it was fair game. How you got the fish was a different story. Now, there were a lot of brim captured with trawl, traps, and sold on black market. The brim, you didn’t have to clean them. You ice them down, and they run them across the state line or wherever they went, and you could sell brim. Motta But they weren’t legal to sell or to catch? Martin Not at all. That’s right. No game fish. Commercial fishermen were not allowed to have a game fish in his boat. Motta So what were the fish that were—aside from catfish—I mean, did you even bother with any other fish, or where there’s like—was it like smaller… Martin Oh, no. We just focused on catfish. And if you really got desperate and wanted to make some money on black market, you would catch brim and speckle perch, which is crappie. And I didn’t get into that much. I stayed—basically, catfish. Motta Okay. Martin And, did a lot of things illegally to catch the catfish. It was a lot of fun, made a lot of money. But, you understand, commercial fishing industry, it’s either feast or famine. You’re making a lot of money in a very short period of time. But when you’re not doing it, and that money’s gone, you’ve got to do it again to produce that kind of money, or you just gotta get by the best way you can. So if your trot line’s only producing a small amount of money, basically whatever that figure might be, and the monkey—or the trawl, the traps—are producing a lot, and you’re not doing that fashion, that method anymore, now you’ve gotta revert back to your trot line, which takes hours and hours to run. A lot of effort, you see. Then you’re gonna gravitate towards the easy pickings. Now the trot lines, they were on average about a quarter of a mile long—about 1,300 feet long each. And we would run anywhere from two to four, five of those a day. Motta Okay. Were there any other methods of catching a fish that you haven’t gone over? Martin Yeah, one more. It’s called a “hoop net.” It’s a long net, much like the trawl in the—what I called the “sock” or the “tube area.” It has no large, wide mouth, like a trawl. It just has a round mouth with a funnel. This is all made out of string. It’s netting. Has multiple hoops in it. Looks like a big caterpillar laying on the bottom. Like a big sausage. And one end of it is tied off. Pinched shut. The other end is wide open with the funnel, and the catfish will go in that. Just like a large trap, only instead of being made of chicken wire, it’s—I don’t know—four, five feet wide and it has fiberglass round hoops that are attached as ribs every couple of feet. Motta And this was being pulled? Martin No. That’s just anchored in the river, like a trap, and the fish would just go in it. And you’d go out there and pick it up and drag the fish out of it. That’s illegal. I don’t know that hoop nets are illegal now. That might not be. You see, what has happened, Daniel, is the farm-raised catfish. You’re familiar with that? Motta Mm-hm. Martin Farm-raised catfishing industry has accelerated to the effect that it has shut down the wild commercial fishermen. Because people prefer restaurants, big dealers are buying up farm-raised catfish. However, I will say this: farm-raised catfish on the plate are distinctively different than those that came out of the wild. The flesh is relatively flabby and tasteless. And the reason for that, Daniel, is that the farm-raised catfish lays on the bottom of that pond where he’s raised, and he is fed. He doesn’t have to move. He just eats, goes back, and lays on the bottom. The wild catfish has to work for his food, and his muscle tone is good, the flesh is firm, and he has a better taste when you want to eat some catfish. Motta So catfish quality has pretty much declined over the years, as a result of restaurants preferring raised fish? Martin Yeah. If you buy catfish filet at a restaurant, you’ll find it’s—it’s edible. It’s good. It is. I’m not mocking them. I’m just telling you that a wild catfish is better on the plate than a farm-raised catfish. It really is. So if you go to a restaurant that has wild catfish—which I think Black Hammock Fish Camp on the bottom end of Jesup there has—they’re a lot better, and that’s the reason why. It’s not that I’m down on the farm-raised fish. It’s just a matter of fact. Motta Well. You mentioned going to Lake Harney, right? What was like, the—like your territory? Like how far did you go out on the lakes and the rivers? Martin My territory was basically Lake Jesup and the [St. Johns] River connecting Lake Jesup and Lake Monroe, and Lake Monroe. That was my territory that I fished. Well, other people did too, but just personally, that’s just the area that I fished. A local area. No commercial fisherman fishes the entire length of 128 miles of St. John River, so we all—you live in this town, you fish this section, and that guy lives in that town, he fishes that section, ‘cause it’s not practical to do that. But I just fished Lake Jesup and the river between Jesup and Monroe, and mostly Lake Monroe. Motta So never outside of Lake Monroe, like north on the river? No? Martin No. ‘Bout the I[nterstate Highway]-4 bridge, from there north up. I been up there, but not in a commercial fashion. Motta Okay. And, I’m curious, so what were the year—when did you stop commercial fishing? What year? Martin It’s a gray area, Daniel, because an industry like that—to where you see all the beautiful sunsets and the sunrises, and you’re out there in nature at night, it’s so inviting to the typical guy. You get out of it, and you’re back in it. And you’re back out of it, and you’re back in it. You meander. Nobody just quits commercial fishing one day, ‘cause it gets in your blood, so to speak. It becomes in your fiber. But I’ll say that I finally relinquished all commercial fishing, on a commercial basis, probably about 1971, something like that. Motta Oh, okay. So did you notice any—it might have been a little early in ’71, but did you notice any effective—like pollution, with more people moving to Central Florida? Was there any, like, effect on the water and the fish? Martin Yeah. Now, the answer to that, basically, is no, as far as the fish are concerned. But I, of course, through the years, been on a river as many years as I have, there’s a lot more pollution—people camping on the riverbank and leaving old grills and beer cans and bottles up in the woods. It’s disgusting, the way people actually treat the river. Now, although I was a commercial fisherman, don’t exclude me to the fact that where you think I don’t have good sense, because I like to think that I do, and I’m an advocate for the river. And it offends me greatly when the river’s abused. I see the erosion of the boat wake. Now, nobody can help that. Boat wakes will erode the bank and the trees fall. That—okay. That’s okay. But the debris that people leave behind when they go out. They have a good time on the river, and they leave their trash on the riverbank. I’ve got a real, real problem with that. There’s just no call for that. But anyway, to answer your question, as far as the fish are concerned, haven’t seen anything negative reflect from the fish at all. Motta Did you know any other fisher—like, I don’t know how—how far out you got, but did you know any fishermen from Lake—I read Lake Apopka, for instance, there was a pretty—it was pretty—with the pesticides used from the surrounding farmlands, it got pretty bad for a while there. Was there not really much of that around here? Martin No, not here. It was bad in Lake Apopka. It really was. No, haven’t seen that here. Personally, I can’t say that I have. Motta Okay. Martin The water quality comes and goes with the seasons. In the summertime, before the rainy season, water’s low. Not all that inviting sometimes. It gets a lot of algae. And algae’s a natural process. But now I’ll tell you this: away from the commercial fishing, and just looking at the river itself, most of the time that I was commercial fishing, the hyacinths were a nuisance. Because the hyacinths would move, and the hyacinth produces a new plant, I think, every 72 hours. So they’re prolific beyond compare, I guess, but there would be literal acres—a half-acre of hyacinths floating in the water. And you try to run a trot line up off the bottom, you pick that trot line up, and there’s this a half a[sic] acre of hyacinths you can’t even get through. It’s impassable. That’s a problem. So they were a problem. Hyacinths were a problem to small boat navigation. They were a problem to the commercial fishermen. However, when the state began to spray the hyacinths, they would die and settle to the bottom. Now you try to run a trot line in that. When you pick it up off the bottom, all those hyacinths that were floating on top are now rotting on the bottom, and they’re all over your trot line. There’s another problem. And they turn to silt, and it just gets worse and worse. But I’ve got to say in defense of the hyacinths, I think water quality was better, because their, the way they feed, as they float to the water—have you ever seen the root of a hyacinth? Motta It’s pretty long, right? Martin Yeah, and it was like a feather. It was like a feather duster. It hangs in the water. And as it moves along, it collects nutrients out of the water, and thus it cleans the water. So, they have sprayed so many hyacinths—the state has—that I feel like that the water quality is not what it could be with the hyacinths. In other words, I don’t have a problem with them spraying the hyacinths, but I think they’ve overdone it. They’ve virtually almost wiped them out. Motta Yeah. You don’t really see them that much anymore, do you? Martin No. No. You don’t. And the habitat—the shrimp and a lot of small fish would live up under the hyacinths in the roots, and the game fish were up there all the time. You could find a hole in the hyacinths, and fish through that hole, and catch all kinds of fish. Well, there are no hyacinths. It’s good to look at, nice pretty water, but it’s not as good as it could be. And that hyacinth is not a natural plant for Florida, you know. It came here, I think, from the Orient. Motta You mentioned earlier some altercations with other fishermen. Aside from the human aspect, were there any major, like, dangers with—I’d imagine there’s some kinds of dangers with commercial fishing? Natural dangers or just, like, the boat. Like, what did you have to look out for, pretty much? Martin Yeah. Okay. I’m glad you brought that up. One of the most agonizing injuries a commercial fisherman can get is to get horned by a catfish. A catfish has three horns—or spikes, fins—two out the side of each side of the head, and one up on the dorsal fin in the back. Now these fins are—they’re designed in a way that they’re serrated. They go in slick, but coming out is a different story, because it has, like, teeth on the backside of it, all in one direction, allowing it smooth penetration, but a very painful extraction. And to get stuck by one and bleed a little bit, it hurts a little bit and that’s it. But if you get one jammed in all the way in halfway through your hand, and you gotta pull that thing out, that’s a bad deal, brother. So anyway, that’s a bad deal. And I’ll tell you something a lot of people don’t know about catfish. One of the things that creates the intense pain when one is stuck by a catfish is the slime on the fish. And the way I found that out is, I had a cut on my hand one day when I picked up a catfish, and it just stung beyond belief, and I realized that that had something to do with it. I don’t think the catfish injects you with anything. I can’t say yes or no. I don’t think so. Motta Maybe like the bacteria or something? Martin Yeah. And infection is rampant. You need to get attention for a deep puncture wound from a catfish. But catfish will hurt you. A stingray will hurt you. I didn’t mess around with the alligators. I’m not of the mindset that I like to kill things. I kill the catfish to survive, but I’m not a hunter. Motta Well, yeah, you were on Lake Jesup a lot. Was the alligator population pretty big then, too? Martin Tremendous. Motta Did they pretty much just leave you alone? Martin Yeah. An alligator’s a misunderstood animal. He’s docile in his realm. He’s shy. He’ll stay away from you. Sometimes he’s kind of curious, but he won’t come up to you. He’ll stay off some distance and watch you, and that’s about it. Motta Even—you started in the early morning, right? They’re pretty active then. They still just kind of ignored you? Martin Yeah. You’d see them out there, see their heads up out on the lake, and they’re just trying to catch a garfish or a turtle or something, you know. They’re not the aggressive animal the media has made them out to be. You corner an alligator, he’s gonna try to hurt you. Motta Mess with its nest or something? Martin Yeah. That’s right. But if you leave the gator alone, he wants to get away from you. He don’t wanna be around a human being. On the other hand, people that feed the gators, they’re asking for trouble. That’s a different scenario. But in the wild, an alligator—he’s not gonna come charging up and jump in your boat, and all that stuff, whatever you might have heard. They’re docile. I should say—I can’t say “docile.” They’re hostile when they are challenged. But other than that, they don’t. Motta So, you worked for your father. Was there more crew than you and your father, I’m assuming? Martin Just my dad and I. Motta Oh, really? Martin Yeah. And he had his little boat, and I had mine, and he ran his trot lines, and I ran my trot lines, and I lived with my dad. Motta So even when you went off into Lake Monroe, it was just you? Martin Well, about that time’s when I started living on the boat, and so I had left on a different path. Motta Okay. But you didn’t have, like, deck hands or anything? Martin No. No, ‘cause the boats were too small. It’s only big enough for one boat, ‘cause you put a lot of fish and that commercial fishing equipment in the boat, and you—there is no room for anybody else. ‘Cause you’ve got a trot line what you call “wrapped,” and long hooks, and buoys, and all this fishing equipment. Lights and batteries and all kinds of stuff in the boat. So the boat’s only 14 feet long, there’s not a whole lot of room in there. So you gotta walk over all your stuff to get from one end of the boat to the other. And the trot line, by the way, is run from the bow. You sit right up in the bow, if you didn’t know that, to run the trot line, and the boat just kind of follows along as you go down that trot line. Motta Okay. So, since it was just you in the boat, did you have to kind of—I guess you knew what you were doing—but did you have to take care that you didn’t hurt yourself, or fall out or something? I mean, there’s nobody watching your back, pretty much? Martin Well, that’s right. You’re out there by yourself a lot. Yeah, you know—and that is good. You didn’t want an explosion or fire in your boat, which I never heard of that happening, but you wouldn’t want that out there by yourself. But I think the main thing you had to watch out for was—every commercial fisherman had a knife. It was a tool, and you could get cut, which I had done. You could get a pretty bad cut. Or, at times, when you’re baiting a trot line, when you grab this hook to bait it, you let go out this side of the boat, as you’re going down the line. You follow me? So you grab this hook, you bait, you let it go, and you grab this hook. Now, now you’re spread eagle. When you come together the length of the next pull, when you let that hook go, it’s a crucial moment, because if the wind is blowing—and this has happened to me and my dad—you pull that hand back, and that hook will bury itself right there in the palm of your hand, ‘cause it’s flopping in the wind, and you pull your hand back—it’s got you. So then you cut that little—it’s called a “brailing.” You have a trot line, you have a little string hanging down with a hook on it. You would cut that little string off, leave the hook embedded in your hand, finish your work, and come home and go to the doctor and have him cut it out. But what I would do, I’d just get a pair of pliers, jerk it out, and it’d pull out a hunk of meat. I wasn’t gonna go to the doctor. I’m not big and bad. I was cheap. [laughs] I wasn’t going to the doctor. Uh-uh. But we’d pull it out. Motta Oh, man. [laughs] Well, do you have any other stories you’d like to share, or I mean… Martin A lot. A lot, but I can’t take up your whole day, brother. Motta We’ve got a little time left. Martin All right. One time when I was married, I came home from the lake and I had exactly that scenario. Motta All right, sorry about that. You were about to start a story? Martin Yeah. That’s fine. We were talking about injuries or potential injuries. And, only because you asked me, I’ll tell you this story. But I came home that one day, and I had a hook buried in the palm of my hand. That little—what they call a “brailing” —that little piece of string on it. And as I said, at that time I was married. Well, outside we had a clothesline, and a T-fashion pole at each end. So, I knew she wasn’t gonna pull that out of my hand. So, I took a concrete block and I tied a string to it, and I set it right up on the top of the center of that T on that clothesline, and right beside the clothesline was my truck. So I laid my hand on the truck, and I tied a loop around that hook, and I held the shank down on this side, where it would pull that hook out reverse, and I called her out in the yard. And I said, “Push that concrete block off the clothesline.” And she looked at that scenario and saw that line coming down to my hand, and saw that hook, and she wouldn’t do it. And I insisted, so she finally tipped that concrete block off, and it went over the side of that clothesline pole. And when that line tightened up, brother, that hook come out of that hand and it pulled a hunk of meat about the size of an English pea. It put a hole in the middle of my hand. [laughs] Motta It seems you would have a lot of scars from this industry. Martin But you know, there’s probably so many scars, they just all run together. Now, I’ll tell you—you wanna hear this scar? That scar runs from that middle finger down around here, and comes around here, and it goes right through here. Well, my friend had a skip jack—fiberglass skip jack. That’s a boat I told you about earlier. And it was brand new. It didn’t have the bow cap on it. Boat comes to a point at the bow, and you have a little cap that goes on it right there. It’s a decorative cap over the bow. It’s usually aluminum or something like that. Well, now you’ve got this boat with bare fiberglass bow sticking out like this, and it’s sharp. I was right there in front of the Sanford Boat Works, and my friend was running the boat, and because he just got it, he wanted me to stand on the bank and watch the boat run by, to watch how she was running in the water. So he ran by a couple of times, and then he wanted me to run it, so he could stand on the bank and watch it run. So I ran the boat, and when I came back, he wanted to do it one more time, so he ran the boat, and the wind was blowing that day, and I was standing right at the water’s edge. Water was low. There was a bluff bank about four feet high right to my rear. So the bank came at one level, dropped 90 degrees down to a very short four-foot beach to the water. You follow me? Motta Yeah. Martin So now I’m standing on this little beach in front of this big bluff bank behind me. My friend makes a circle and comes back with this boat with a[sic] 80-horse Mercury on it, and he slows it down. He’s just gonna let it come right down to the beach there. Well, he came in a little bit hot. So I reached out to get a hold of the bow of the boat to slow it down as it come in, and it just shoved that hand right into that bank, and it almost took those two fingers off. And that’s what those scars are right there. It just about amputated that half of my hand, when that boat pinched my hand between the bow and that dry muck bank back there. [laughs] Motta It seems like you had a lot of injuries with your hands. Didn’t that, like, prevent you from doing basic boating… Martin Sure. Yeah. It’d cripple you up for a while. It sure would, boy. Motta Did you ever have to, like, stop fishing for a while? Martin Yeah. I was skinning fish one time. The way we’d clean the fish, you would take the fish, you’d cut him right behind the head here on both sides. And you would have a reverse hook on a ramp. So you got a little ramp with a reverse hook on it. You would hook that fish on that hook, take a pair of skinners, and pull that hide off the catfish and throw him in the stack, and then you would take his head off and gut him and he goes into the last process, you see. Well, I was skinning fish one night at the Sanford Boat Works. I had a little hook set up out there, and right under my hand right here is what we called a “red cat.” Now, a red cat is what they call—some people call them “brown bullheads,” “spotted catfish” —and they have red meat. The meat’s red, but it’s good. And that red cat was right there, and I was skinning that fish. Well, the skinner slipped off the hide, and my hand went right down the back of that fish, and that fin was sticking up I just told you about. And it went almost through my hand. When I got that taken care of—and like usual not going to a doctor—I rubbed some stuff on it, bandaged it up, and I was crippled up where I couldn’t hardly use that hand. Well, in about three days, it got all swelled up. My fingers got real tight like they were gonna split open. And it got red, boy. I mean, it was hot. And finally, I went to the doctor, and the doctor got all over my case. He said, “Twenty-four more hours, we’d have taken that hand off.” He said, “You’ve got blood poisoning in that hand.” He was not nice to me. He seemed like he was offended. They pumped me full of antibiotics, and got that taken care of. And I’ll tell you another time, a stingray—I had a stingray on a hook, and I was trying to take him off, ‘cause I didn’t want to hurt him, and that was not a smart thing to do. So, I rolled my hand under his back and turned him belly up, thinking he couldn’t get me with that tail. It’d be hanging out here in the air. And I’m over here trying to take that hook out of his mouth, and he run that spike right in that knuckle right there, and buried it in that knuckle, and gave me a good shot of his poison. Well, I was bleeding pretty good[sic], and I got rid of that scenario. Cut the string and threw him over. And about that time, I had a girlfriend. She was out there with me. And she said, “You better go ‘n’ have that taken care of.” And I’m like, “No. It’s all right. I’m okay.” Well, we kept fishing, and after a while, my wrist got to hurting, and then my elbow got to hurting, and I started rocking. You know, I didn’t want her to see it. She said, “You’re hurting. We’d better go right now.” So by the time we got to the boat ramp, I couldn’t hardly get the boat up on the boat trailer, ‘cause now it’s hurting up here under my shoulder. And we went right straight down, right to my house, and parked the boat, got in her car, and took me to the hospital. They gave me an IV of Benadryl, morphine, and some other stuff, because of the infectious poison that the stingray had. So that’s another thing a commercial fisherman doesn’t want to do is a stingray. Motta And there’s—I didn’t know there were freshwater stingrays in. This was in the lake? Martin Yeah. Lake Jesup, Lake Monroe are just thick with stingrays. Motta Oh. I never knew that. Martin Yeah. If you fish with worms or a protein-type bait—worms, shrimp, snail, meat of anything—throw that on the bottom, you’ve got a good chance of catching a stingray. Now, I know you’re running out of time, but I’ll tell you how the stingrays got here, because a lot of people don’t know, and I’m a reader. I read. I try—I’m not very educated, but I try to educate myself. And I read a book by Bill Belleville, and he wrote this book on nothing but the St. John’s River and the history thereof. Motta Do you remember the title of it? Martin Yeah, River of Lakes[: A Journey on Florida's St. Johns River]. And the St. John’s River originates over there just west of Melbourne. And at one time, the St. John’s River used to run directly into the Atlantic Ocean in an easterly fashion. The whole east coast of Florida literally rose up—this is probably millions of years ago, but they’ve done studies and they know this—thus forming the St. John’s River basin. And the river had to go somewhere, so it meandered, and it found its way out at Jacksonville. Now, when it did that, it encapsulated a lot of salt water. It was a saltwater marsh. Well, those stingrays were there. There were stingrays, there were mullet, and there were seahorses, and there were all kind of saltwater animals living in this saltwater marsh that eventually turned into the St. John’s River. So these stingrays that are here, most people think they come up from Jacksonville. They didn’t come up from anywhere. They’ve always been here. So that’s how the stingrays, the American eel, small seahorses—a few, not many—-mullet, stripers, croakers, are saltwater fish. There have been sightings of tarpon in Lake Harney. Motta Man, and a lot of these, they stay in—pretty low to the, like the lake bed? So they’re pretty much out of sight a lot, right? Like the stingrays and the eels. Martin Yeah, they’re bottom-dwellers. Motta Yeah. So, a lot of people wouldn’t know that they’re there. Martin That’s right. I mean, a stingray can swim clear to the surface. There are stingrays in the ocean, where they jump clear of the water. But these stingrays, if you’re not looking for them, you basically don’t know they’re there. But you don’t want to step on one of them, brother, ‘cause he’ll put that spike in your ankle. And these aren’t large stingrays, like in the ocean. They’re only about—a big one might be a foot to 14 inches wide—would be a big one. Motta [laughs] Learned something new. Martin They’re a nuisance on a trot liner, ‘cause if you don’t float that trot line up off the bottom, where they’ll swim under it. If you put that bait on the bottom, my gosh, you’ll have a whole string, trot. Motta Do they ever get caught in the traps, or like eels ever get in those traps? Martin That’s a good question. There are actually—some of the commercial fishermen, which I never did, they have what they call “eel pots.” They have designed traps to actually catch the eels here, and they send them to England. They eat a lot of eels in England. They do some kind of jelly with our eels or something crazy. I don’t know. But he’s called the American eel. He’s harmless. And a big one would be probably two and a half feet, I guess. But they actually—it seems like they have actually shut down the eeling in Lake Monroe, for some reason. Probably population’s down. I don’t know what it is, but for a long time, the commercial fisherman was putting out eel pots, or eel traps, and trapping the American eel as well. Motta Wow. Well, to—let me just ask you one last question, then. Kind of on a personal note. Do you have any—well, could you just tell me—it seems like you have a lot of experience on the lakes and the water. Personally, what was your favorite aspect of it? Like nature aspect or just your personal opinion. I would love to know. Martin Yeah. I’m glad you asked me that, because I have an answer. This is gonna be different than probably any commercial fisherman that you interview. Only because it’s different, not because my opinion is better. I’m a humble guy. I’m not in this for the heroes. But, many a night, when I would get through running my trot line, baiting it, sometimes I’d put the trot line out, and then bait it out there and go home. Well sometimes, it might be a full moon or thereabouts—beautiful out there—when I got through working out there. I’d take my boat and I’d go all up in the nooks and crannies with my big light, and watch the wildlife. And I could tell you some alligator stories. An alligator attacked my boat one night, but it was my fault. I provoked him. But it’s too long. I’ll tell you later. But anyway, I would appreciate nature. I saw a rabbit one night, on the bank in a place called Woodruff Creek. And the rabbit was on the riverbank eating a piece of grass—just one long piece of grass. He was just sitting there. And you know, a rabbit can eat a piece of grass and never move his hands. He’ll just kind of ingest the whole thing. He was doing that, and the grass was getting shorter and shorter, but the unique thing about this particular rabbit was when I shined the light on him—I wish I had had a camera, photography, the ability to take a picture—there was a halo of mosquitoes around this rabbit that were illuminated by the light. He didn’t pay them any mind at all. They can’t get to his fur, you see. So he was just—they didn’t matter. But the mosquitoes sensed that he was there, but they couldn’t get to him. So the rabbit was eating his grass in the nighttime, and this big giant halo of mosquitoes—not blind mosquitoes, these were bloodsuckers—trying to get to this rabbit. And I just—that picture in my mind will never go away. Motta Stuck with you? Martin He just was having dinner. [laughs] Motta Oh, well thank you for talking with us, coming in. Definitely taped a lot of this, so again, thank you for coming in and talking. Martin Well, you know, it’s been a pleasure. But the downside is—I just regret the history that is gonna be missed, because we only had an allotted time to do this. And I’ll still try to put some things together on paper, and you can drop by and give them to Ms. Kim [Nelson] up there or something. I wanna draw you some illustrations as to how the trot lines were made. Motta Oh, that would be great. Martin Now I’ve thought about donating that monkey to you guys. I guess I mentioned that earlier. Are you interested in having that machine? Motta Oh, yeah. Martin It’s about that long.

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Agriculture--Florida Grain--United States Grain industry Vegetables--Florida Description A table representing crop acreage, production and value for Seminole County, Florida, in 1949. Statistics in the table identify various products produced in the county, how many acres each crop occupied, production number of each crop, the number of farms reporting for each crop, and the value of each crop. The U.S. Census of Agriculture produced statistics for corn, cowpeas, peanuts, velvet beans, hay crops (excluding cowpea and peanut hay), miscellaneous field seed crops (lupin seed, grass, etc.), Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton, sugarcane and sorghum used for syrup, and root and grain crops hogged off or grazed (excluding corn, cowpeas, and peanuts). In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Title Crop Acreage by Year, Seminole County, 1919-1949 Alternative Title Seminole County Crop Acreage Subject Seminole County (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Crops--United States Vegetables--Florida Vegetable industry Description Bar chart representing crop acreage for Seminole County from 1919 to 1949. Corn was often planted in the summer after the celery fields were harvested. Because the fields still contained fertilizer from the previous celery production, there was often a high yield of corn in Seminole County. In 1926, it was reported that most of the corn produced in Seminole County was a cross between Hasting Prolific and Cuban flint, a hardy type resistant to corn weevils. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida, was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola, Seminole, Lake, and Volusia counties. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913 and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes.

Title Acreage of Principle Crops, Seminole County, 1924 Alternative Title Seminole County Principle Crops Subject Seminole County (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Vegetables--Florida Vegetable industry Fruits Fruit industry--Florida Description A table representing the acreage of principle crops in Seminole County, Florida, during 1924. Crops such as corn, velvet beans, and dry edible beans were listed as grain and forage crops. Tame grasses and annual legumes were categorized as hay crops. Crops such as cotton, sugar cane, potatoes, and strawberries were listed as miscellaneous. Vegetables grown for sale included cabbages, melons, lettuce, onions, corn, and tomatoes. All of the fruits and nuts were listed under orchard fruits and nuts. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination. This trend is made apparent in the total value of principle crops listed by the U.S. Census of Agriculture in 1924. In 1919, principle crops were valued at $186,229 in comparison to drop in value in 1924 to $22,509 for the same identified crops. Type Dataset Source Original table by Laura Cepero, July 21, 2011.

In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Title Acreage and Production of Grain Crops, Seminole County, 1934 Alternative Title Seminole County Grain Crops Subject Seminole County (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Grain--United States Grain industry Description A table representing acreage and production of grain crops in Seminole County, Florida, during 1934. Statistics identify the various grain crops grown in Seminole County, the acreage each crop occupied, production numbers for each crop, and how many farms reported that grew a particular grain crop. The U.S. Census of Agriculture identified small grains, hay, corn, cotton, sugarcane, tobacco, Irish potatoes, and sweet potatoes and yams as grain crops. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area.

Agriculture--Florida Agricultural clubs Celery Celery industry Farming Farmers--Southern States Description A pamphlet produced by the Seminole Agricultural Club and the Oviedo Agricultural Club about the Better Farming Show, which was planned to "promote greater agricultural efficiency in Seminole County." The pamphlet outlines the challenges facing farmers during the Great Depression under four headings: financial, production, transportation, and marketing. Following Stock Market Crash of 1929, the amount of money that farmers could borrow from banks was limited and the majority of growers were forced to give crop liens to banks, co-operatives, and marketing organizations in order to supplement their finances. The pamphlet also states that, despite advances in technique, the cost of producing celery is almost equal to the profit. According to the pamphlet, the increase in freight rates for transportation for celery, despite the decrease in rates for the citrus industry, has also contributed to the problems faced by growers in Seminole County during this time period. Finally, the pamphlet cites the unstable consumer demands for celery size that makes it difficult for farmers to market according to consumer expectations. The pamphlet closes by describing the objectives of the Seminole Agricultural Club and the Oviedo Agricultural Club: to "further the best interests of the [celery] industry and expend every effort to solve the problems of finance, production, transportation and marketing" for the benefit of all citizens of Seminole County, Florida.

Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Agriculture--Florida Celery Celery industry Agricultural clubs Farming Description A newspaper article on the celery industry in Sanford and Seminole County, Florida, as well as the county's its major representative, the Seminole Agriculture Club. At the time that the article was written, Seminole County was the second smallest county in the state with approximately 260 square miles of land. According to the article, celery production had been growing in the county and had resulted in the necessity for improvements in labor and infrastructure. Railroad facilities were furnished by the Atlantic Coast Line Company. The article also credits various other civic organizations with Sanford's growth: the Woman's Club, the Rotary, the Kiwanis and Lion Club, and the Campbell-Lossing Post of the American Legion.

Title Farmers' Club Lauded for its Recent Success: Trade Body Directors Unanimous in Vote of Congratulation Alternative Title Farmers' Club Lauded for its Recent Success Subject Sanford (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Agricultural clubs Farmers' markets--Florida Farming Farmers--Southern States Chambers of commerce Zoos--Florida Aquariums Description A newspaper article about the congratulations afforded to the Seminole Agricultural Club from the Board of Directors of the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce for successfully lobbying to bring the Florida State Farmers' Wholesale Distributing Market to Sanford, Florida. The Chamber of Commerce predicted that the new farmers' market would turn Sanford into a hub for vegetable, fruit, and poultry production, and would also create steady, year-round jobs for many. The Chamber of Commerce also discussed approved plans for a $6,000 aquarium and zoo enlargement program submitted by the Special Zoo Committee. According to the article, the aquarium was to be designed by F. J. Moughton and erected in the rustic design using cypress. The idea for the Sanford State Farmers' Market was devised by Fred Dorner and Gus Schmach, both members of the Seminole Agricultural Club. The Sanford Chamber of Commerce president Harry Papworth also contributed to the development of the market. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) authorized construction plans on June 11, 1934. On June 20, 1934, the City of Sanford donated a portion of the Alex V. French properties to the Florida State Marketing Board, which selected the northwest corner of French Avenue and Thirteenth Street. The board approved the installation of telegraph and telephone equipment, as well as a three-pump filling station. The Sanford State Farmer's Market opened on December 18, 1934. By 1939, the Farmers' Market was bringing a total volume of business of $627,065.81. In 1941, business volume reached over $700,000. On April 4, 1957, a fire destroyed the building and caused damages estimated at $2.5 million. Reconstruction began almost immediately and the Farmers' Market was expected to re-open by the fall of 1957. In 1991, plans were created to restore, preserve, and convert the citrus packing house into a museum.
