Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Oviedo began on the south shore of Lake Jessup as a settlement called Solaria's Wharf. Some of its early settlers include Dr. Henry Foster, Joseph Watts, and Steen Nelson. Citrus and celery dominated the area's farmland, although Central Florida suffered a severe freeze in 1894. Oviedo suffered another disaster in 1914 when a fire wiped out much of the downtown section. Disaster hit again in 1929 with the Wall Street Crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. That same year, Oviedo's fruit crops were decimated by a fruit fly infestation. Another fire destroyed the Wheeler Fertilizer Plant in 1946. Nonetheless, Oviedo continued to grow, with new paved roads going to Geneva and Chuluota and the opening of the Citizens Bank of Oviedo in 1948. In 1949, Oviedo began receing once-a-day bus serviece to Orlando from Greyhound Lines. By 1950, Oviedo was the second largest town in Seminole County, following Sanford. The Oviedo City Hall was built that same year and in 1968, Florida Technological University (present-day University of Central Florida) opened, bringing new residents to the area.

We’re gonna talk about the history of Oviedo. This interview is being conducted at the University of Central Florida in collaboration with the RICHES program. Ben Wheeler’s been around a long time. Tell me something about you and your family. Wheeler Well, my earliest ancestor t—to come here was a Civil War widow named Narcissa Melissa Lawton . She had several children, one of which married my great-grandfather, John Thomas Wheeler. Um, they moved to Dade City and he had a stroke. He was a sawmill man. And he had a stroke and died. So R. W. Lawton, who would have been Narcissa’s brother, sent one of the Aulins—I think it was Theodore —to Dade City with a two-wheel oxcart. And loaded them up, whatever little bit they had, which probably wasn’t much, and brought ‘em back to Oviedo [sniffs]. Horner Who married Wheeler in order to get the Wheeler in your name? One of the Lawtons married a Wheeler? Wheeler Yes. Clara Isabelle Lawton married John Thomas . Um, she was—no. She wasn’t a widow. Narcissa was a widow. Horner Mhmm. Wheeler And this was her daughter. Horner So she married a Wheeler. Wheeler Yes. Horner And that—was that Ben Wheeler I? The Ben Wheeler? Wheeler His name was Benjamin Franklin Wheeler, Sr. Horner How many more Benjamin Franklin Wheelers are there? Wheeler Two more. Horner Two [laughs]. Wheeler My father and me. Horner Oh. Okay. So the, uh—so the Whee—how did the Wheelers get here? I mean, the Lawtons got here after the Civil War. Where did B.F. Wheeler, Sr. come from? Wheeler W—w—well, John Thomas, who was B.F., Sr.’s father,… Horner Ah. Wheeler …came here after the Civil War. And he claimed a homestead and sawed all the timber off of it. And once the timber was gone, he let it grow back. And that’s when he moved to Dade City[, Florida]. Horner Well, the timber was always a big—particularly pine timber… Wheeler Mhmm. Horner …was always important in Oviedo. What did they do with the pine—with the pine? Cut it up? Saw it up? What do you do? Wheeler It was used mostly for lumber. The first thing they did was chip it for turpentine. And once the trees had g—given up all their turpentine, then they would cut ‘em and make lumber out of ‘em. Horner Were there a lot of sawmills? I read one place where there were five sawmills in the area. I… Wheeler I couldn’t swear to the number, but there were several. Horner In order to slice those into planks for… Wheeler Right. Horner …houses. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner Kay. Well, Wheeler set up a business. Who did he set up a business with? What—what business did he get into? Wheeler Well, his father died when he was 11. And he had a younger brother and a mother to support. And R.W. Lawton brought him back here. And he just took any kind of work he could get [clears throat]. One of the things he said he did was hoe orange trees. There was a big grove out there where Winter Springs High School is now. And he said he would walk out there, hoe trees all day and walk back for a penny a piece. And there was a—the Coast Line—the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad had a—a depot agent here named Mr. Crutchfield. And he and my grandad took a shine to each other. And he let him hang around the depot. And he taught him Morse code. Let him help sweeping[sic] and whatever needed to be doing[sic]. And my grandfather ended up being the depot agent when Mr. Crutchfield retired. Well, as depot agent, he made a princely sum of $15 a month, which r—really—a lot of people couldn’t even get a job. But he got that. And that’s when he endeavored to buy the property on—south of Lake Jesup, where the big brick house is. Horner Where the Evans-Wheeler house … Wheeler Right. And he obliged to pay $5 a month on a mortgage. Well, he said there were a half a dozen old tangerine trees on the place. And started taking care of ‘em. And about the second year he was attending to ‘em, they yielded six boxes—which, a box is two bushels—of tangerines. And he took ‘em down to Nelson Brothers Packing House and sold ‘em and got $5 a box for ‘em. Now, that’s like six months’ worth of mortgage payments. And he said that got his attention. And as time went by, um, Mr. Fred Nelson wanted to get out. And so, my grandfather bought his portion of Nelson Brothers. And later, Mr. Steen Nelson wanted to get out. So he bought his portion and then he named it Nelson and Company. Horner But, actually, it was Wheeler who owned it. Why didn’t he change the name to Wheeler? Wheeler Because the brands they had were already established. And he didn’t want to start over. Horner So everybody up North that this was—the fruit was shipped to… Wheeler Right. Horner …knew that name: Nelson. Wheeler The brand name was White Rose. Horner When there was a White Rose label… Wheeler Mhmm. Horner …you knew it came from a good place [laughs]. W—well, what business did your—your grandfather get into if he owned a—the citrus packing house, Nelson and Son—and Company? What else did he do? Wheeler He was a real forward-thinking man. And he saw opportunity where a lot of people didn’t. He, um—he was instrumental in getting Oviedo incorporated as a city. It was one square mile. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler But the relations with Sanford as the county seat were such that he didn’t foresee Oviedo getting a fair shake out of the county. And so, he got it—got Oviedo incorporated. He was also on the county commission. He, um, was the driving force behind the county buying what’s now called the—well, what is it called? The Five Points Complex ? Eh, the original purpose of it was to have, um, indigent home and, um, pauper’s cemetery. That grew into being an old folks home. And they grazed—they raised all their own food. And then years later, the—the county began moving their facilities out there. Their fire department and courthouse and jail and animal control. Horner And sitting in the middle of all of that official administration is still what was the old folks home. Wheeler Yes. Horner It’s still there. Wheeler Yes. Horner It’s never demolished. Wheeler It’s now part of—it’s now the home of the Museum of Seminole County History. Horner One of the things about the citrus industry in Oviedo was the freezes that would happen regularly. How did people withstand the destroyed[sic] of—of their crop? And sometimes even destruction of their trees? Wheeler Well, all of ‘em didn’t stand it. Um, there was a disastrous freeze in 1890-f—December of ’94 and February of ’95. And i—it was—it was destructive enough that a lot of people just gave up and moved. Uh, there are stories about houses with dishes still on the table and food in ‘em. And th—they were just left. People just le—just lost heart and left. B—but the—the few that remained eventually did come back. Uh, my grandfather being one. Mr. Lee—C. S. Lee being another one. And there’s probably some names that I don’t recall now. Horner What about the Clonts’s? Were they doing c—uh, cel—um, citrus at that time? Wheeler No. The Clonts’s came in 1924. Horner Mkay. Mm. Well, when you have this packing—and Wheeler—I mean Nelson and Company packed fruit… Wheeler Mhmm. Horner …in these crates to send north. Um, how could you send them north? On the steamboats that originally plied the s—Lake Jesup? Or how did they get them up north to New York? Wheeler I’m sure at some point they shipped ‘em on a steamboat. But my recollection is the railroads. Horner And which railroads did… Wheeler Well, there were two that came to—to Lake Charm. That was the Atlantic Coast Line and there was the Seaboard Air Line. And they both had s—spurs that went down into Black Hammock to the celery pre-coolers and washhouses. At one time, there was[sic] two trains a day—one on each railroad out of Oviedo—of nothing but produce [sneezes]. Excuse me. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler There’s a lot of, uh, confusion about the two railroads because they later merged and became Seaboard Coast Line. And then they was[sic] incorporated into the family lines. And then it was Seaboard’s system. And then it became CSX [Corporation], which is what it is now. Horner When did those trains stop running through Oviedo? ‘Cause there’s no trains there now. Wheeler I’d say in the early eighties. Horner Why didn’t we need the trains anymore? Wheeler Well, all the produce traffic had gone to trucks. The—the railroads were so contrary about the service that people got tired of it. And, uh, at that time [sniffs], the Northern railroads—the Pennsylvania, the B&O —those lines were having terrific union problems. And our stuff would get to Washington, D.C. and sit. Horner So Oviedo was in trouble. They couldn’t get it to market. Wheeler Right. Right. Horner Well, there was another train in Oviedo. The Dinky Line. Wheeler That was the Seaboard. Horner Was part of the Seaboard. Wheeler Yes. Horner Mm. Wheeler It had previously been the Florida Central and Peninsular [Railroad] [sniffs]. And the tracks were so raggedy that they were forever and a day getting derailed. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler And the local folks nicknamed it “The Friends Come and Push” [laughs]. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler But a lot of people think the whole system was the Dinky Line and it was not [sniffs]. Horner Just the part that ran from Oviedo to Orlando. Wheeler Right. Horner Okay. How long did the Dinky Line last? That’s not… Wheeler Well, it became part of the… Horner Ah. Wheeler …CSX. And so they all came up about the same time. Horner Okay. Why did our—we don’t do and sell and pack citrus anymore in Oviedo. And it was the big moneymaker. What happened? Wheeler Because of the freezes and the greening virus [sniffs]. Horner Shut down the whole citrus… Wheeler Shut… Horner …part. Wheeler … down the whole thing. Statewide production is down 75% now. Horner Um, you were talking about—the trains would go to the packing houses. What—how were the packing houses run? Who did the—you just bring it in from the fields and what do you do with it? Wheeler Bring the fruit it from the field? Horner Mhmm. Wheeler Yeah. Horner Just pluck it off the tree? Wheeler And picked and—and put in boxes. Those two bushel boxes. Brought to the packing house. And then it was graded. And washed. And cleaned. And packed by size into shipping containers. And those went on the railroad. Horner Just loaded them up on the railroad. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner But it—yeah. I heard about that. Putting them in by size. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner If it was a bunch of tangerines, you could fit 120. Wheeler So many. Depending on the size. Um, and that was determined by the USDA . Horner Mm. Wheeler You had to have an inspector all—all the time. And the sizes were [sniffs]—on tangerines they were 80s, 120s, 176s, 210 and 246. Horner Wow. They must have been small tangerines. Wheeler They were. They were little bitty fellas. Horner [laughs]. What if you had a grapefruit? Wheeler Now, we didn’t pack many grapefruit. I’m not real up on the s—sizes on them. I know there was a 40. And a 48. I think the other one was 72. Horner [Inaudible]—those are the small grapefruit. Get 72. Wheeler Oranges—round oranges were 80s, 100s, 120s, um… Horner Did that mean that we had different varieties of oranges? Wheeler Oh, yeah. Horner We do. Wheeler Sure. Horner What varieties did we make—did we s—grow? Wheeler Well, we had tangerines. Dancy tangerines. Later, they developed the Orlando tangelo. And we had a world of them. And then, there was the early oranges like the Hamlin. And the pineapple. And the Parson Brown. And the Valencia. But they all come off at different times [sniffs]. Horner Well, that’s nice. You don’t have to pack ‘em all at one… Wheeler No. Horner …time. Wheeler No. You can’t pack ‘em all at once. Horner [laughs]. Who did the work? Who w—who worked in the packing house? Who picked the—the fruit? Wheeler Well, you had picking crews. And you’d have a foreman. And he’d go out and recruit help to pick the fruit. And then, the packing house had their own crew that packed. And graded. And put crates together. And everything that it takes to run a packing house [sniffs]. Horner Did they live in Oviedo? Wheeler Everybody did. Oviedo was never—until this latter day—a bedroom community. If you l—if you lived in Oviedo it was because you worked in Oviedo [sniffs]. Horner Something to do with agriculture. Wheeler Unless you were a merchant or a preacher. Or something like that. Yes. Horner Um, but by the mid—beginning of the twentieth century, there was a shift from citrus to celery. Who brought celery to Oviedo? And why was Oviedo such a good place to grow celery? Wheeler Well, the first place it came to was Sanford. And at that time, they di—they thought that you couldn’t grow celery on muck. It had to be grown on sand, which that side of Lake Monroe there where Sanford is was ideally suited to that. And then the King Brothers decided they were gonna try it in Oviedo. And we had some sand land, but we had more muck than we did sand. And so when they found out they could grow it on the muck, then—it expanded rapidly then. And celery was high dollar crop. Number one: it was considered kind of exotic [sniffs]. And number two: once the [Great] Depression hit, there was a tremendous dis—demand for celery because they used it in soup kitchens. It was, you know—it’ll stretch anything that you put it with [sniffs]. Then, about the time the Depression was over, World War II came along. And for reasons that I never understood, celery was not considered, um, necessary for the war effort. And so they didn’t impose any price ceilings on it. And the price of celery just went through the roof during those war years. And people made money just like going to town on a Saturday. Um, in 1929, Seminole County’s celery crop was worth about $15 million. Just the celery crop. Horner Well, I’d heard we’d been called the C—Celery Capital of the World for—[laughs]. Wheeler Well, we were. They didn’t—there was no, uh, Zellwood. There was no everglades. The celery came from Seminole County. Horner Well, when you’re growing celery—it sounds like celery is a rather delicate… Wheeler It is. Horner …crop to grow. Wheeler And it takes a lot of water to grow it. And we had ample water supplies. We had the flowing wells, uh, to keep the fields wet. And it did well here. Horner And there were plenty of celery fields around Oviedo. Wheeler Oh, yeah. Horner [laughs]. Well, when you, uh—when you laid—put the celery out—I’ve heard that you have to put the celery out first in small plots. Then you pick ‘em up and replant them. Wheeler Yes. You plant seed beds and raise the plants up until they’re big enough to set out. And then you transplant ‘em to a—to the field. Horner And let ‘em grow. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner Well, how did they get enough water to handle? Wheeler They developed a system of subsurface irrigation, which simply put was r—r—rows of tile under the ground. And the tile was not cemented together. It was just joint to joint. And you’d turn those wells on. And anywhere that there was a joint, water would seep out. Horner Sort of like a drip line… Wheeler Yeah. Horner …only large and… Wheeler Mhmm. Horner underground. Wheeler And you could raise and lower the water level by, um, a system of stops. At the end of each row you had a—a concrete pocket and holes every so often. And however high you wanted the water to go, you stopped off the holes. And, of course, it would seek its own level. Horner Um, [inaudible]. [laughs]. Well, once your celery is grown in this muck land and you decide to harvest it, then what do you do with it? Wheeler You harvest it. Horner [laughs]. Yep. You’re gonna harvest it. What—but you gotta get it up north. How you gonna do it? Wheeler Well, [clears throat]… Horner Get to market [laughs]. Wheeler …for many years, it was cut by hand, uh, and put in boxes. And then it went to this celery washhouse, where it was washed and packed. And, again, there were sizes for it. And then they would put it through a precooler bath to get it cold. And pack it into boxcars [sniffs]. And those boxcars had bunkers. One at each end. And they’d load it down with ice. And then they had a chipper there. And they would blow chipped ice all, eh—all over the top of the celery. They didn’t—they didn’t—a car wouldn’t hold it to the ceiling. There was about three feet from the top tier to the ceiling. And they’d blow that full of that chipped ice. And the cars had fans on ‘em that ran by a belt drive. And that circulated the cool and kept ‘em cool until they could get where they were going [sniffs]. Horner So the celery was crisp when it got there. Wheeler Yeah. It had to be. Horner Otherwise, it would be all wilted. If you take it out of the field and you stuff it in a crate and haul it north, it’s gonna be all wilted [inaudible]. Wheeler Oh, no. No. They didn’t do that. Horner [laughs]. You mentioned that there was a, um—a celery packing house out at Lake Charm. And then there was another celery packing house in Oviedo. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner So you had two of them operating at the same time. Is that because there was so much celery? Wheeler Yeah. And there was[sic] more than two. Um, there were at least two more in Black Hammock. I’m not sure exactly—there might have been three. But, yes. There was a—well, how many pre-coolers would it take to make a trainload of celery [inaudible] every day? Horner I don’t know. Wheeler Well… Horner [laughs]. Wheeler …just imagine. Horner How many cars would there be in a train? I mean, do they haul a hundred cars? Or… Wheeler It’d depend on the time of the year. But the trains weren’t near as big as they are now. There’d probably be ten or twelve. Horner Y—you told me that you used to go over to the packing house yourself when you were a young man. Wheeler Yeah. Horner What did it—what was it like? And what were the trains like? Wheeler Well, the packing house was just about the nerve center of town. If you were looking for somebody, you’d meet ‘em at the packing house. ‘Cause there was always somebody there. And we didn’t have, you know, City Hall and police department. And fire department. And Town House Restaurant. And all of that. You went to the packing house. You’d buy you a soda and sit down and sit down there with a package of Lance crackers and wait for ‘em to come if they wasn’t[sic] already there. Horner [laughs]. And the—and so they’d come and load the train. The packers would load the train. Everybody else is sort of sitting and, uh—or—and coming and going. And socializing. Wheeler But it was the same when the packing house wasn’t running. It was a meeting place. Horner Ah. Well, what about the trains themselves? Were they modern and useful? Wheeler Well, they weren’t modern like what we have now. Um, like I said, they had fans and belt drives for refrigeration [sniffs]. The… Horner You—you told me that the—the trains were—uh, the t—the tracks on the trains weren’t that good. Wheeler They weren’t. One of the big obstacles to settling this area was, um, wet, low ground. And the tracks—if you see the route of either one of those railroads, they snake like this. Because they go from one high spot to the next to stay out of that muck. And they put the ties down on the bare sand. They didn’t have any ballast or anything. And, uh, the rail was light [sniffs]. So the trains were slow. They did often times get off the ground—get on the ground. But that’s all there was. Horner Well, when the trains would get on the ground or derail like that, what do you do? I mean, everything stops [laughs]? Wheeler Until they get it back on the rail. Back then, they didn’t have cranes. And, uh, that’s—railroad had some wreckers, but they were too heavy to come out there on that light track. So it was a matter of a gang of big, strong men. And jacks. And wooden blocks to jack that wheel up. And then the locomotive would pull it just enough to get it guided back over on the track [sniffs]. Horner So the boxcars had to be lifted up, so to speak. Wheeler Yeah. Horner And then placed back on the track. Wheeler Yeah. And oftentimes there would be, um, places that were missing spikes and things like that. They’d have to nail it back down so it wouldn’t roll again. It wasn’t—it was a case of the rails rolling over—is what derailed ‘em. Horner No wonder the trains stopped coming [laughs]. Wheeler Well, that’s a—that is an ironic story. From the time the rails were laid in the 1880s until about 1980, those rails were the same rails that they put down originally. And rail is measured by the weight of a three-foot section. And those light rails were—some of ‘em were sixty pounds and some of ‘em were seventy pounds for three feet. And after all that time, they decided to re-lay the rails. And they put hundred-pound rail all the way from Sanford to Oviedo. Now, the Seaboard had done theirs earlier. But this was the—the Atlantic Coast Line. And we found out later the government gave ‘em a grant to upgrade this line. And then like two or three years later, they got approval to abandon it. And they took all that up. And took it and moved it. Used it somewhere else [laughs]. Horner [laughs]. So the whole tra—the whole tra—rail line from Oviedo to Sanford… Wheeler Yeah. Horner …was torn up. Wheeler Yeah. Horner [inaudible]. Um, when we talk about Oviedo and we talk about Seminole County, neither of them used to exist. You were mentioning, uh, that your—was it your grandfather who helped get Oviedo… Wheeler Mhmm. Horner …incorporated as a town? Wheeler Mhmm. Horner Where did Seminole County come from? ‘Cause it wasn’t originally Seminole County. Wheeler Well, you have to understand that because of the citrus and the celery and the other farming, Sanford swung a pretty big stick at that time. And they had tried [clears throat] two different times with a referendum to move the county seat from Orlando to Sanford. And failed. And Sanford—the people in Sanford thought that world emanated from Sanford. They were conceited and, um—I don’t know what else to call it. They… Horner Arro… Wheeler …thought… Horner … —arrogant. Wheeler They thought—yeah. Arrogant. And Sanford was supposed to be it. And it was it, as long as the things were coming by the steamboat. ‘Cause that was as far as they could come. But when the railroads came, that changed. And then along came Colonel Henry Sanford . And he was determined he was gonna make Sanford something. And in 18—about 1875, there was an infamous murder trial in Orange County that was coming up between the carpet baggers and the locals. The carpet baggers had imposed a head tax on cattle. And this is right after the Civil War, now. And [clears throat], of course, a carpet bagger was in power. They had—they were the sheriff and done all of that. And he sent out some men to the outlying areas to collect that cattle tax. Well, they took the sheriff, tied him to an old bottom plow and dropped him in Lake, uh, Kissimmee. Horner So the sheriff’s now dead [inaudible]. Wheeler Sheriff’s dead. And there’s this murder trial coming up of who supposedly did that. And all of a sudden, the courthouse burned down. Horner Now is this the courthouse in Sanford or the courthouse in… Wheeler No. It was… Horner …Orlando? Wheeler …Orlando. There was no courthouse in Sanford. Horner Oh. But now it’s burned down. Wheeler And it burned down on the eve of this trial. Well, whatever evidence they had, of course, was gone with it. So the question arose as to building a new courthouse. And Henry Sanford went to Orlando to the Board of County Commissioners and proposed that, uh, the courthouse be built in Sanford, inferring that that’s where it should have been all the time. And he would give the land for the courthouse. Provided, of course, it was built in Sanford. Well, Mr. Jacob Summerlin , who was a leading citizen there, stood up and said, “Well, people are used to doing business in Orlando. And I think they ought to continue to do business in Orlando. And I’m gonna loan the county $10,000 to build a courthouse. And they can pay me back or not.” Well, of course, that dashed the hopes of—who wouldn’t turn—who wouldn’t, in that day and time, turn down that kind of money for a courthouse? Well, that was the second time—no. That was the third time they had been thwarted. There were two referendums before that that didn’t garner enough support. So the courthouse was built in Orlando. And, not to be outdone, they formed—Sanford formed a Divide the County committee. And there were six or eight of the real prominent citizens in Sanford that spearheaded it. And they elected Forrest Lake as the, um, Representative for Orange County. Horner To the State Legislature. Wheeler To the State Legislature. And in 1913, he had gathered enough support that he put a bill through to create Seminole County. And according to the f—r—record, it passed way in the middle of the night on a—almost the last day of the session. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler And [clears throat] he rushed it over to the governor for f—signature before anybody could catch on to what was happening. And, uh, that became Seminole County. Well, Orange County was fit to be tied because it—he was their representative, too. But he didn’t let any of them know [laughs] what he was doing. So that’s how Seminole County got here. Horner So we became our own county because we were a piece of Orange [County]. And then we tricked ‘em into letting us have our—into having our own county. Wheeler And in the effort to get that done, uh, there was a group of citizens in Oviedo, including a former c—Orange County commissioner, who did not think it was a good idea. And didn’t support it. And when [clears throat] the thing passed, the new commissioner set out to exact retribution from all the outlying areas that didn’t support it. Horner Uh, oh. Wheeler And… Horner [inaudible]. Wheeler … that’s why we had the kind of roads and schools we had. Because they didn’t get any money. Horner So they—they strangled Oviedo… Wheeler Yep. Horner …in effect… Wheeler Yep. Horner … from all the county money… Wheeler Yep. Horner …for improvements. Wheeler Oviedo. Chuluota. Geneva. Horner They didn’t get any road money. Wheeler No. Horner No school money. Wheeler And that did not change until the Supreme Court got into the segregation issue. And took the funding authority away from the—from the county commission and the school board. And mandated that they had to make a level playing field. And that was in the late sixties. Horner Well, Oviedo was a pretty small town well into the seven—the… Wheeler Yep. Horner … seventies. I mean, 800 people. Maybe 1,000. Wheeler Oh. Horner Small town. Wheeler It was about 2,500. Horner By the time we get to late-seventies. Wheeler Right. It was one square mile on the map. Um. Horner We didn’t even have a police department. Or a fire department. Wheeler We had a volunteer fire department. And we had one policeman. And he was also the constable for the unincorporated areas. He was empowered to enforce the law. Horner So what we called today a sheriff. He would have been a deputy sheriff for this area. Wheeler Probably. Yes. Horner But now we don’t use the term co—constable. Wheeler No. They’ve outlawed that office. Horner Who was the constable? Who was this… Wheeler George Kelsey . Horner Ah. He’s pretty much of a, uh—a legend in Oviedo. Wheeler Yeah. He—he served for a long time. Uh, and he was also the city police. Horner And did he do a good job? Wheeler He knew what was going on. Horner He knew what was happening. Wheeler Yeah. Horner And everybody’s family. And everybody’s [inaudible]… Wheeler Yeah. He had eyes and ears everywhere. Horner [laughs]. Um, he was a character. Are there any other important people in Oviedo that ought to be mentioned? Any other eccentric characters? Wheeler [sniffs]. Well, there was a few of ‘em that were kind of humorous. But n—none to the extent that George was. Mr. T.L. Lingo had an insurance agency in the back of that, uh, building that they just tore down on Broadway Street. What used to be the drug store. And he would send his bird dog across the street to the post office to get his mail. And they’d tie it up and put it in the dog’s mouth. And he’d bring it back over there to him. And, uh, he’d send a note down to the grocery store in the middle of the block for a pound of steak. Or for hamburger or whatever. And they’d wrap it up and give it to the dog. The dog would bring it right on back there to him. Horner Didn’t eat the steak? Wheeler No. No. Horner Well, you’re a Lawton way back along. What about the Lawton family? You’re related to them. A couple of generations ago. Wheeler Yeah. Well, Professor Lawton—T.W. Lawton , for whom the school is named, uh, was the—probably the first person to get a college education in, uh, Oviedo. And he rode the Dinky [Line] back and forth every day to get to school at Rollins [College] [sniffs]. Now, I don’t know whether he bummed or if he bought a ticket but… Horner [laughs]. Wheeler …that’s how he got there. He became, I think, the second superintendent of schools for the county. And he… Horner Yeah. The first elected one. The first one was appointed by the governor… Wheeler Right. Horner …when we finally became the… Wheeler Right. Horner …the county. But… Wheeler And, uh, he served until about 1953. So it was thirty-some years. When he got ready to retire, somebody figured out that if each child in the county would give a penny, they’d have enough to buy him a new car. And so they all put their pennies in and bought him a brand new Chevrolet sedan when he retired. Horner Appreciated gift. Wheeler I’m sure. Horner Where’d—where did the people in town go to church? ‘Cause I’ve always heard that the churches were very important in Oviedo. Wheeler If the churches were behind it, it would happen. Well, [clear throat] there’s two things that a—any little small town has a plethora of. And that’s churches and gas stations. They might not have a grocery store. And they might not have doctor. But they’d have churches and gas stations. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler There was the First Baptist of Oviedo, the First Methodist of Oviedo [sniffs]. And then there was, um [clears throat], Church of God, um… Horner And, of course, the black churches [inaudible]. Wheeler I’m trying to think of the name of the one—oh. Mission Road Baptist Church. Antioch. Fountain Head. Um, there were two more down in Lawtonville, but I can’t think of the names of either one of ‘em. One of ‘em’s still operating. But church was a—a big, uh, factor in what went on in town. Horner D—did the Methodists and Baptists cooperate? I mean, they lived—they were… Wheeler Yeah. Horner …fairly close together. Wheeler Yeah. The early days, they had service every other Sunday. And whatever Sunday it was—that the Methodist Church, everybody went there. Then the next week, they’d go to the Baptist Church. Horner [laughs]. [clears throat]. Well, to get on a bit of a lighter side, uh, when it comes around Halloween, we always hear talk about the spooky Oviedo lights. Wheeler Yeah. Horner We’re famous for having the spooky Oviedo lights. What were they? Or are they, if they still exist? Wheeler There are [clears throat]—they still exist. But the reality of ‘em has been blown way out of proportion. Back then, if you went down there to the bridge on a bright moonlit night, you could see a sparkle in the water. And it was phosphorous. And that became i—i—it was just a curiosity to go and see. And, of course, that bridge is way out beyond anywhere. And the kids’d like to go there. Um, but then it got to be the Oviedo lights. And if we went to Winter Park or Sanford, we’d hear the kids talking about the Oviedo lights. And, oh, there was this ball of fire coming down the road. And, um, there was somebody hung in the water tower. Um… Horner Was that true? Somebody hung in the water tower? Wheeler No. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler None of that was… Horner None of… Wheeler … true. Horner …that. Wheeler None of that was true. But you couldn’t convince anybody that i—I’d say there was more chemical enhancement… Horner [laughs]. Wheeler … that went on than anything else. Horner [laughs]. Oo. Okay. S—Since you are so knowledgeable—mm—uh, lived in Oviedo and your family lived there, is there anything else that’s unique or special about Oviedo that you remember? Wheeler [sniffs] Well, it’s kind of lost this now, since we’re not a bedroom community any more, but there was a community that engulfed everybody. And there were any number of things that were citizen-initiated that we would’ve never had otherwise. The swimming pool for one. The Memorial Building for another. The doctor’s clinic for another. The Woman’s Club started the first garbage collection. The Woman’s Club funded the first, um—I don’t know what you’d call it now. We called it a rescue wagon. You know, a van with oxygen and sh— Horner Ah. Wheeler First responder kind of thing. Horner ‘Cause there was[sic] no EMTs… Wheeler No. Horner …so… Wheeler The firemen manned it. Um, you were asking me a while ago about how did you reported[sic] a fire. Well, there was a big whistle up on pole by the firehouse. And you went there and pushed the button. And you could hear it all over town [sniffs]. And, uh, people would come. The men would come and they’d tell ‘em where the fire was. And—and they’d go to it. It usually amounted to saving the house next to the house that was on fire. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler Because a lot of those houses were tarpaper and wood and all. And they just went up like a box of matches. Horner Mm. So do you just come up—the old fashioned thing. Do you come up and pump the pump? And spray the water on the house next door? Wheeler Well, not quite that primitive. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler Um, in 1947, the City bought a Ford truck. It was the first one they could get after the war. And the young returning veterans built a tank—a water tank on it. And put a pump on it. And that was the first firetruck. And then, in 1957, the City bought another, uh, commercial-grade firetruck. So we had two. But it wasn’t uncommon at all for a fire whistle to blow and somebody to rush down there who didn’t know where the fire was. And didn’t know how to operate the pump. And they’d get in the firetruck and go dashing off somewhere. Somebody’d have to catch ‘em and bring ‘em back [laughs]. Horner [laughs]. Eh, they c—they couldn’t pick up the microphone and say… Wheeler No. Horner …“Dispatch. Where you going?” Wheeler No. There wasn’t any of that. Now, George Kelsey did have a radio connected to the sheriff’s department. But that was it. Horner [laughs]. Well, I was trying to think if there was anything else I didn’t—it is interesting that Oviedo was so close-knit that they did sw—the swimming pool, the Memorial Building in f—in memoriam to the Second y—World War people. And, uh, the canning m—m— Wheeler Yeah. Horner …kitchen. Wheeler That was a… Horner The community canning kitchen. Wheeler …a thing for the war effort. But that Memorial Building and the clinic—both were built with as much donated labor and materials as there was p—probably more than what was purchased [sniffs]. Dudas gave the lumber. Um, Bob Ash was a brick mason. He laid all the block. Joe Leinhart had lumber that he had cut in Black Hammock years ago. He furnished all the w—trim and the woodwork for the inside of the building. He probably put it up, knowing him. Um, it was a—it was a concerted effort because Dr. Martin had retired. And he had to move to Orlando in order to retire because people wouldn’t quit coming. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler His office was right beside his house up there where the Baptist church is now. And people just wouldn’t take no for an answer. And so finally, he moved. And that was another thing my grandfather was a[sic] instigator in. He called together the leading businessmen in town. And they said, “The only way we’re ever gonna get a doctor is to build a place for him to practice.” And so, the major—mostly the major farmers in the area went together and raised some money. And then set the volunteers to work. Horner And they built the clinic. Wheeler And they built the clinic. Horner You know? ‘Cause the—the farmers at that time would have been the leading lights… Wheeler Yeah. Horner …of the community. Wheeler Yeah. Oh, yeah. Horner ‘Cause they were the ones bringing in the income. Wheeler Mhmm. Horner How did the African-American community and the white community get along with each other? Wheeler [sniffs] I don’t ever remember any—any discord of any kind except for that one incident in high school. And that was quickly put to rest. And we all just got along. Horner I heard a story once from a—a man who said that, uh, Benjamin Wheeler bought him a car. ‘Cause he was—he didn’t have the money. And he needed it because he was the crew chief. And he needed to get the guys to work. Do you remember that story? Wheeler Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was Buster Garrison. And he—he was an entrepreneur. He hauled his crew to the grove. And then he’d put sides on his truck and load it with oranges. And haul ‘em to the juice plant. And, of course, old trucks were always… Horner Breaking. Wheeler … something wrong with ‘em. And he finally went to my dad and said, “Mr. Frank. I mean I need me a new truck. And I ain’t got no money. And I don’t want you to tell me no [laughs].” Horner [laughs]. Wheeler And what did—what did Frank Wheeler say? Horner He got him a truck. Wheeler [laughs]. Horner I don’t know what their arrangements were. I’m sure he paid some on it. But Buster was a, um, hugely industrious person. To work night and day. Do anything you want him to do. Gladly. And my dad just saw the worth of it. He sent him over to Holler Chevrolet. And I’m sure he called Mr. Holler and said, “Get this man a truck.” That’s the way things worked back then. Um, years later—years later, I had a mirror get knocked off of my Chevrolet truck. One of the outside mirrors. And I went to the place to get it seen about. And I was in my work clothes. And I had my little dog with me. And the only thing I had for a leash was a piece of hay bailing twine about so long. So I made a leash out of that. And me and her were walking around outside. And the—the service writer said, “Well, I don’t know if we’ve got the part. And I don’t know if we’ve got time to put it on.” And all this, that and the other. I said, "I’ll wait.” ‘Cause this was in Winter Park, now. And there was—I’ll never forget this. There was a salesman. He had rose-colored glasses and a pink ultra-suede coat on. Wheeler [laughs]. Horner And he came out there to smoke a cigarette and took one look at me and my dog and wheeled around and went back inside [laughs]. Wheeler [laughs]. Horner And so help me, it wasn’t a minute or two, Mr. Holler came out. And he walked over there to me. And we shook hands and started talking. You know, just passing the time. And all of a sudden, that service writer came out there and said, “Mr. Wheeler, we gon’ get you taken care of [laughs].” Wheeler [laughs]. Horner You looked like you didn’t have two nickels to rub together. Wheeler That’s… Horner He didn’t… Wheeler That’s… Horner He didn’t know who he was dealing with. Wheeler That’s what they thought. Horner [laughs]. And you’re one… Wheeler I… Horner … one of the most important families in town [laughs]. Wheeler Can’t judge a book by its cover. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler I guess the one story I would tell again, because it’s so funny to me. Horner [clears throat]. Wheeler Our county commissioner in this district was B.C. Dodd . He lived out there in Goldenrod. And at that time, the commissioner got to say where the road money was spent in his district. Well, I want so and so fixed. Or it’s—you know, whatever. So Mr. Dodd stood up and he said, “I wanna pave that road from the city limits of Oviedo to the county line.” Which is now Alafaya Trail. It was just dirt before that. And the commissioner from Sanford jumped up and says, “I don’t know why you wanna do that.” Said, “Ain’t nobody ever gonna use it.” [laughs]. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler And he says, “You hush, Pope. I didn’t say anything about what you did in your district. And this is what I wanna do.” And how prophetic that decision turned out to be. Because where Mitchell Hammock Road crosses Alafaya was the city limits. And from there on out this way was dirt. Clay. Horner And he was the only one that was farsighted enough to see you’re gonna need her. Hm. Wheeler That was—that was in the early sixties. We had heard about what was gonna be the new space university, but nothing had actually happened. Horner Ah. Yeah. ‘Cause they hadn’t chosen the site yet. Wheeler Right. Horner Boy. He was taking a gamble. Wheeler Yeah. He was. Horner Maybe that’s why Dodd Road is named after him. Wheeler Well, he was a—he was a prominent figure. And he was huge. He was, uh, like 7 foot something tall. And he wore—they’ve got one of his shoes in the Goldenrod Museum. And it’s—I’m not kidding. It’s like that. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler He was a giant. And, of course, that went along with his demeanor. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler At that time, they were trying to decide where to put FTU . And one of the sites they looked at is where Seminole Community College is. And another site they looked at was there at—across from Lockwood Road and [County Road] 419. And Mr. C.S. Lee offered to give ‘em the land if they’d put it there. Horner [laughs]. Wheeler But Mr. Billy Dial in Orlando, and a few more like that, th—they wasn’t gonna have that. So FTU got put where it is. And as a conciliation prize, we got the Iron Bridge sewer plant and Seminole [State] College. And where they are is no accident. Horner Uh huh. Wheeler There is still some animosity there. Horner So we’re here at UCF. And it’s out of the farsightedness of Mr. Dodd. And… Wheeler Well, he… Horner …we got a way to get here. Wheeler …he played a role in it [sniffs]. Horner Well, is there anything else that you would like to add about Oviedo? Something that you really appreciate about living in that town. Growing up in that town. Wheeler The people. I had so many good friends. And—and a lot of people worked for my dad. And, of course, I got to know them. And, uh, I miss ‘em tremendously. And I miss that sense of community. Horner The whole downtown is gone now. Wheeler The whole downtown is gone. But what’s really gone is that fellowship. If you needed something that somebody in the community was—that was their forte, you just went to ‘em and said, “You know, I need a well put down.” “I need a survey made.” “I need, you know, whatever it was.” And, uh, they all worked together [sniffs]. I wrote a column for The [Seminole] Voice one time about they all worked together. And I can’t find it anymore. But I named a couple of dozen things that happened that way in Oviedo. Horner Somebody needed their fellow man. Wheeler Well, we need a clinic. We need a city hall. We need a swimming pool. We need garbage service. There was just a—a lot of things that—and they would have never happened any other way. Because we weren’t going to get any support from the county. And the city didn’t have any money. Horner Hm. Yeah. Well, thank you, Ben, for talking to us. And letting us… Wheeler My… Horner …know… Wheeler …pleasure. Horner …about Oviedo. And you’re—you’re a fount of knowledge. Wheeler I’ll probably go home and say, “Dang. Why didn’t I tell ‘em that?” Horner [laughs]. I’m sure you will.

Title Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District Long-Range Program, 1975 Alternative Title Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District Long-Range Program, 1975 Subject Seminole County (Fla.) Environmental protection--Florida Description Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District Long-Range Program for 1975. The organization began in 1948 with a goal to assist in agricultural interests. Over the years, the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District began to also concentrate on the development and management of recreational enterprises. Their interests also entailed inventory and evaluations for land uses and solving issues concerning soil and water resources. In the 1975 Long-Range Program, J.A. Hopkins states that the purpose of the Long-Range Program is to identify present and future needs and opportunities for the conservation and development of natural resources within Seminole County, Florida. The Long-Range Program serves as a practical guide for the planning and accomplishments of work by the District, its cooperators, and all agencies whose assistance is enlisted. The 31 page program outlines what needs to be done, how the work should be carried out, and when the objectives and goals within are expected to be accomplished. The program is a framework for assistance to communities, watersheds, regions, and governmental units in planning and carrying out a wide variety of resource developments during 1975. The program discusses conservation, and the development of land. The program goes on to discuss the recent shift from agricultural use of land to other uses. Population growth is described in detail due to the challenges agricultural producers face as a result of population increase and urbanization.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (November 26, 1886) Alternative Title Beardall to Sanford (Nov. 26, 1886) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Winter Haven (Fla.) Tavares (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Railroads--Florida Description A letter from William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated November 26, 1886. Contents of the letter included the purchasing of 320 acres near Winter Haven for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). He noted that the land was valued at $30 an acre and estimated that the presence of an unspecified Presbyterian College in the area would enhance the land value. Beardall also provided an update on affairs in Sanford, Florida. In particular, he wrote that he was "working now to secure the erection" of a "Palmetto Fibre Manufactory" in Sanford, an enterprise that he figured would produce five tons of fiber per day and employ upwards of 200 workers. The factory in question was proposed by the Diamond Match Company. However, he explained that there was competition with Alexander St. Clair Abrams who was trying to persuade the company to locate the Fiber Plant in Tavares. St. Clair Abrams was a lawyer who had previously worked with the FLCC to negotiate a bid for a million-acre plot of land from the Internal Improvement Fund Board. When the FLCC failed to finalize the bid, however, St. Clair Abrams sued the company and later Henry Sanford for compensation for his services rendered during the period. At the time of Beardall's 1886 letter, St. Clair Abrams' affiliation with the company had long since ended and he was in the process of a protracted lawsuit against Sanford, a suit that remained unsettled at the time of Sanford's death in 1891. Beardall warned that the FLCC would probably need "to give them land for the factory and a wharf lot near the Saw Mill in order to secure them at Sanford." This deal, he added, might also lead to an eventual paper mill as well, built by the same company. He ended his letter with some discussion of building a potential railroad depot in Sanford. William Beardall was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He had worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC, a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (November 21, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Nov. 21, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) DeLand (Fla.) Palatka (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Polk County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Tourism--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated November 21, 1884. Topics in the letter included discussion of lands for sale and the need to set prices for the company's "lake region lands" in Polk County. Trafford also indicated that he was "a little alarmed at the burning down of our wooden towns - Palatka, Brunswick, Ga. - DeLand saw mill," adding that he was "taking every precaution here." Lastly he noted that "people are swarming into Jacksonville and all coming up the river - every prospect of a good winter business." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 22, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for three enclosed deeds, two of which were in the City of Sanford, Florida, the third was near Henry Sanford's St. Gertrude's Grove. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida.

Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (May 5, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (May 5, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated May 5, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for two deeds, both in the City of Sanford. One deed was for Ida Gumpert, the other for George Blakemore. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 18, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 18, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 18, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Henry Sanford's signature for four deeds. All four of the deeds were for lots in the City of Sanford, Florida. The deeds were for J. E. Pace, Emmett H. Herndon, W. A. Statton, and Frederick W. Ellis respectively. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 13, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 13, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Alachua County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 13, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for six land deeds. Five of the six deeds were in the town of Sanford, Florida or within close proximity to the town. The sixth deed, purchased by the Florida Commercial Company, was for land in Alachua County. The purchasers for the other five deeds were John Davis, Stephen J. Drawdy, Henry L. DeForest and E. B. Vandeman, and Anna M. DeForest. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement.

In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 9, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 9, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Logging Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 9, 1884. In the letter, Trafford provided a number of updates regarding the City of Sanford, Florida. First, he included several land grant certificates that awaited approval from the federal government. He expressed hope that Henry Sanford's "influence would push up" the issue on the government's priority list. Trafford also informed Sanford that "all the hotels close this week so I suppose things will quiet down." He also informed Sanford that the company had made "as much these last three months as the whole past fiscal year," noting that sales had reached $16,000 over a three month period. Among other topics, Trafford also informed Sanford that logs were arriving in Sanford, Florida via shipping on the St. Johns River. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (March 26, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (March 26, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated March 26, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for two deeds. The two buyers were Isaac A. Hopper, who bought a lot for $350.00, and William Duryea, who purchased a lot for $700.00. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (March 15, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (March 15, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated March 15, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for five deeds. He also indicated that from March 1, 1884 to March 15, 1884, sales for the town of Sanford amounted to $5,960 and sold for St. Gertrude's Grove reached $5,200 for a total of $11,160. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (March 5, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (March 5, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated March 5, 1884. In it he requested signatures for a number of enclosed deeds. He also noted that the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) made $12,684.20 for the month of February 1884, adding that it was an increase of $10,964.20 over the same period from the previous year. Trafford was a company agent for the FLCC from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC.

Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (February 29, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Feb. 29, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated February 29, 1884. In the brief letter, Trafford acknowledges receipt of four signed deeds, as previously requested. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The new Downtown Orlando Post Office building, located at 51 East Jefferson Street, in 1958. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

Ripe fields and sunny skies; A glamour on the distant hills that stand Like citadels of some enchanted land Which yet invites our eyes. A wealth of daisies spread; A weight of redolence upon the air, From yonder crab, whose wanton blossoms there Oppressive fragrance shed. Here in the sedges deep, A little pool that, full of sweet content, To ripple, wind swept, ’neatfi the branches bent, Lies tranquil and asleep. High up among the boughs The feathered choristers of morn, that strove To fill the air with ecstacy and love, Chirp feebly as they drowse, And all things yield in silence to the power4 Of warmth and sunlight at the noontide hour. Unfathomed depths of blue, And rifted dusky clouds chased by the breeze Across a sea of azure, which one sees The veiled sunlight through; Which darken pond and hillock as they pass, And cast their flying shadows on the grass. A moment and 'tis done; llie meadow glows once more with heavenly light, A glimpse of gloom whose momentary flight Shuts out the fadeless sun. How many a seeming ill which casts a shade Upon life’s sunny plains would be allayed, Could we but think when that it hides the sky, ’Tie but a swift cloud-shadow passing by. —Nannie M. Fitzhugi HOUSE-HUNTING, BY ROBERT J. BURDETTE. I believe 1 always did admire my cousin Celestine. She was pretty when she was a school girl. She had the softest brown hair, fine and sheeny as corn silk, and the sweetest blue timid way with her. Such a girl as any boy might fall in love with. She married George Andover, a young Presbyterian preacher. I saw nothing of them for nearly five years, when they came to Crmhntslwlin, a little town down in Pennsylvania, where I lived. It was called by a Welsh name, because there were no Welsh people within a thousand miles of it so far as I was able to learn. Still, it had to be called something, and Crmhntslwlin was pronounced as good a name as it deserved. It was at least an improvement on Jinkinville and Thompsontown and Snyderburg. George and Celestine were going to live in the city, a few miles distant, or near, rather. George had to go right away and attend a presbytery or synod or something or other that was going to burn a heretic or something, and would I go to the city and help Celestine hunt a house? Wouldn’t I? I would go and find a house for them myself, and Celestine could stay at home and rest. But she hesitated, in her timid way, and then said she would go with me. How glad I was. She was prettier than ever, and seemed so grateful that I was going to take care of her. How glad I was, I repeat it. How glad I was. It didn’t take me twenty minutes to find the very house she wanted; just the one she described. Eleven rooms, hot and cold water in every corner, Philadelphia window shutters four inches thick, and a parlor so respectably dark that the boldest cat would fall over the furniture and break its head against the piano limbs every time it ventured in there. But Celestine didn’t like it, because Mr. Gonge, the agent, wouldn’t paint, paper, put in a new range, build on a bay window and add another story. I never saw that timid, appealing, confiding expression on Celestine’s face look quite so sweet and appealing as it did when she refused to take that house. We rode about six miles on nine different street car lines that morning, and visited a dozen houses. I was charmed with every house, but Celestine would look so appealingly at me time, when we consulted the and state her objections so sweetly and timidly, and say; “Oh, cousin, won’t you decide for me?” And then we would start after another one. We found a new house. Just completed. Just scrubbed and oiled and varnished from garret to cellar; agent just putting the card in the window when we got there. We went all over it, and Celestine said she would take it if he would have it repainted and papered and a new heater put in. The brute looked into that pleading, timid, gentle face and refused. Somewhere during the next mile Celestine suddenly stopped. “There,” she said, so decidedly I was frightened. “I would take that house.” She was looking at a handsome mansion of stone, situated in a beautiful yard and bursting into bloom and blossom from every window. “Yes,” I said a little uncertainly, “but isn’t it a little larger than you want?” I judged that it contained possibly not more than twenty rooms. “Ye-es,” she said, “but we could close a portion of the house. Suppose you run over and see what it rents for.” I didn’t believe it was to let. “You can’t tell until you find out,” said cousin Celestine, timidly. “It looks like a very expensive house,” I said. “But maybe the man is embarrassed in business,” she said, “and would be glad to find a good tenant. Don’t fail me, please,” she added, and I said I would go. I did go. I rang the bell, and stated my business. The liveried servant shut the floor in mv face without a word, andil returned. •7 co.j^^Oelesyne, the sweet blue eyes, and calmly, without a blush, I said: “The man said he owned the house, and did not care to rent it this season.” She sighed, and said in low, tremulous tones that she believed she <4W^1,” she said, “George is coming home to-morrow, so I suppose there is an end to house-hunting.” “Why,” I said, sternly resolving the minute George came homo to send myself a telegram calling me to the Horth Pole on the first train, “you haven’t found a house yet?” “Oh, yes,” Celest ne said, in tones so melting that I half started to go out and resume the search, “there is a parsonage with the church to which George has been called, and our things are all there. The ladies of tbe church got it all ready for us^'vhen we decided to come. But,” she said softly, probably noticing the look of brutal amazement that came creeping over my face, “I thought perhaps they could let the parsonage to some one else if we found a house we liked beH*\.‘ “Then you don’t the parsonage?” I managed to say. “Oh, I don’t siy that,” she said, sweetly. “I have not seen it. They didn’t want us tc come until everything was all ready” I have not seen by cousin Celestine since she went to tie parsonage. They came out to Crnhntslwlin several times, but the mai whom I have employed to watch a the station is vigi lant and faithful, and so has warned me in time to effect my escape over into the hills of Irddnwr Any person desiring to pu chase an undivided •interest in a coush, low-voiced, sweet- tempered and fair favored, gentle and affectionate, a charming singer and an infallible judge of inproved city real estate, can secure a bargain by corresponding with me. I Cannot give a clear title, sa^e as to co isinship, and that I will quit-claim, jmrehaser assume all risks and encumbrances epusinship durng the moving season. About Auroras. The extent of the auroral displays over the world is not uniform, the United States being the most favored, while Siberia, opposite to us across the pole, but much further north, is the least. Hew York city has about the same frequency of auroral displays as St. Petersburg and Londo:., and also as Siberia, more than half way up the Behring Sea coast, fully 1,500 to 2,000 miles nearer the pole. They are seen as far south as Cuba, Yucatan, Central Mexico and Cape St. Lucas on the American continent, while in Asia they are unknown in Pekin, and almost so in the Japanese Islands, Southern Europe, on the latitude of Hew York city, being just within the limits of visibility. In general, it is seen about 1,400 miles further south on the Western Continent side than it is on the Eastern, or just the distance the magnet pole is from the true or geographical one, pulled over the same side, so to speak, it being just north of our continent. It thus plainly shows that the magnetic pole is a central point from which the auroral force in some unknown way is dependent. The magnetic pole, approximately speaking, is on longitude 100 degrees west from Greenwich, and on that meridian the displays are more frequent than at other points of the same latitude.—Lieut.

That afternoon, while we were somewhere on our ninth mile, Celestine found another house that suited her exactly, but the rent was $240 a month, and she didn’t want to go beyond $60. As we walked now, she leaned heavily on my arm, and I tottered along on blistered feet, eagerly scanning the horizon in every direction for street cars, while Celestine could see a “To let” card with the naked eye farther than I could think. Her timid, trustful way grew upon her, until she looked a perfect miracle of submissive diffidence, and when we went home that night, in a low, sweet voice she tore houses, landlords and agents to pieces so sweetly and timidly and completely it made you think of a cyclone weaving garlands of anemones and violets, and breathing softly through a flute to blow a six-story warehouse clear across the Delaware Biver. We went house hunting the next day and the next day after that, and the next day after that again, for two weeks. Celestine timidly drove me into the happy homes .of all sorts of people to see if the houses were not to let, “because,” she said, “sometimes very particular people, who have the best houses to let, may not like to advertise them.” Sometimes, in these forays, I stumbled into homes of some of my acquaintances, and had to go in and go through the hollow mockery of “a call” to conceal the real reason of my visit, and then I could see my friends wondering and laughing behind the blinds when I went guiltily out and rejoined my cousin Celestine. I wouldn’t have believed it possible that so many houses, exactly alike from drain to chimney pot, could have so many faults, no two alike. I prowled about in cellars until I began to smell moldy, and I climbed stairs till I was knee sprang. At length, just before 1 died, there came a letter from George. Celestine read it and sighed. Mig£a\ Jot Birds. .ot long ago large numbers of British migratory birr |(dead) were found floating in the se/.f off the Eddystone Lighthouse. It improbable that during their night joirney from the Devonshire shores a fog overtook them, and that the light proceeding from the lantern H the lighthouse attracted them anc1 so stupefied them that they dashed themselves against the thick glass and were killed in large numbers. The fi&er^aen who trawl for turbot, soles, skplfce, etc., on the Varne Bidge Baf^ between Dover and Calias, not unfiequently hear the sound of flocks of migratory birds flying overhead. Tlie speed at which birds can go when on their migratory flight has been noticed. Quails are said to accomplish 150 miles in a night, and undigested African seeds and plants have been found in the crops of these birds when they reach the French coast. A It is said that thcJRgration of birds will foretell severe weather, and it is well known by the bird-catcher that when the larks and other northern birds appear, snow and hard weather will follow the fli>?®M These warnings of migratory birdo,%uough apparently insignificant, may be of vast political and even national importance. If the Emperor Hapoleon, when on the road to Moscow with his army in 1811, had condescended to observe the flights of storks and cranes pausing over his fated battalions, subsequent events in the politics of Europe might have been very different. These storks and cranes knew of the coming on of a great and terrible winter; the birds hastened toward the south, Hapoleon and his army toward the north.— Frank Buckland. Camels iu America.

Many people fancy that the present German flag has some relations to the “German liberty flag” of black, red and gold horizontal stripes, adopted by the German revolutionists, which in turn is fancifully connected with the Holy Bom an empire. As a fact the German flag is simply the flag of the Horth German Confederation, which was a combination of the black and white of Prussia with the red and white of the Hanseatic league. The blue in the American flag came from the English Whigs, whose colors were blue and buff. The Whigs were the friends of the struggling colonies before the Bevolution. The Whigs were allied with the Protestant cause in Germany and got their colors from Sweden. Blue and buff, with a dash of red in the union to signify the coalition with Horway, still form the Swedish flag.—Cultivator. Danger of Larse Doses of Quinine. At a late meeting of the New York Clinical Society, two papers were read in which it was shown that large doses of quinine have a deleterious effect on the heart, through the nervous system. This, it appears, is especially the case in typhoid fever, where, through long continued pyrexia, the heart becomes weak or degenerated. A Closet for Medleines. Keep if you can, a closet for the sole use of medicines, and appliances for sickness or accidents. A narrow, high chimney-side closet answers the purpose admirably, with shelves half way down and deep drawers to fill the remaining space.

Have every vial plainly labeled, those marked poison place always on the upper shelf. Keep the whole undei lock and key, the key beyond the reach of children, but easily accessible to older members, of the family.—Good Housekeeping, Dangerous Medicines for Children. The British Medical Journal says: It. is well known that in every household a great deal of useless and unnecessary medication is carried on by parents among the youthful members of the family. As a rule, resort is had to medicines that are practically safe, and which experience has shown to be innocuous; but there is also, we fear, a tendency to employ drugs which should only be ad Mastered by the family physician, wi'pBafcall- *12 in jziedical aid. An J Saved His Cattle. The French Professor Pasteur, who has made himself famous by inoculating men and cattle with disease germs to insure them against epidemics, ought to yield the palm of priority in that discovery to a humble, priest of our own country, says a Bussian paper. In 1868, when the Siberian plague was killing the cattle in this place, Father Andrew Joakimansky of the Troitzky village, resorted to a desperate means in order to save his cows. He got some blood from a dying cow, saturated threads with that blood, and passed these threads through the ears of the healthy cows, numbering eleven. At the place where the ears were punctured there appeared tumors of the size of pigeon eggs. In a short time those tumors disappeared, and the cows remained alive and healthy, though the rest of the cattle of that village perished. this was furnished by a triaf^vhieh took place at Hamilton, where a father was placed in the dock, on the charge of culpable homicide, for administering four drops of laudanum to a child five weeks old, with the result that it became unconscious and died within the next few hours. There was no evidence that the medicine had been given with any criminal intent, and the jury very properly acquitted the parent, whose mental suffering must have been sufficient punishment for the indiscretion of which he had been guilty; but the facts brought out in connection wit^h the case cannot be too widely known. They may serve to impress more forcibly on the public wThat is well known and universally admitted, that there is extreme susceptibility on the part of children, especially within the first few weeks of life, to the influence of opium in any form, and that it should never be given except under medical guidance and sanction. The evidence of some of the witnesses at the trial showed the hazy notions that exist as to the administration of laudanum to children, some holding that a drop of laudanum for each week of the age was perfectly safe, while others were not prepared to go such lengths. Where the issues involved are those of life or death, it would be well to follow the rule we have given above; for, where a child is ill enough to require an opiate, the sooner medical advice is procured the better. 4 To Encourage the Victims.

A STORY OF CHRISTMAS RYE. “Now, Charlie dear, do make it go as far as you can,” said little Mrs. Rushton, as she counted a roll of crisp, green bills into her husband’s hand as they stood in the cottage door one Christmas eve, Charlie received them quite nonchalantly, never once thinking, perhaps, how many weary stitches that pale, patient litt-*3 woman at his side had earned them with--stitcheg made in the dead midnight hours, when he and the little ones were fast asleep. He twisted them together and stuffed them into his vest pocket. Mrs. Rushton sighed, and looked wistfully out into the stormy gloom. “There are :^o many things we need,” ihe sai(I could have gone m. self; but hjflBpI >o ill for that ! glancing bac^BHHlithe crib in one €&&&**% _______________ gj l the medicine for ths jtiritgv fthat—*and coal, an! a fttijte sugar and tea. and a few loaves of bread. And I did want a turkey for to-morrow —a small one, you know, Charlie; and a few plums to make a pudding. We can’t afford it well; but it seems so hard for you and the children to have npthing for Christmas. Charlie moved restlessly, but her thin, labor-worn hand held his arm. “And some little trifles for the children, dear,” she went on; ‘‘the poor little things wrill be hanging up their stockings to-night, and it hurts me so to disappoint them. Get a few candies, aid a knife for Tom, and a doll for Annie— some little things that won’t cost much, Charlie.” He shook her hand from his arm, and hurried out. “Yes, yes,” he replied,half impatiently, “I’ll do it all if you don't keep me here all night.” “And Charlie,” she called, as he strode away, her voice full of touching entreaty, “please don’t stay long; baby is so ill, and will need her medicine in an hour; and I thought we would fix up a bit when the children get to bed. You will come back soon, dear?” “Oh, yes, Mary, yes!” But Alary watched him out of sight, with a glimmer of tears in her patient •jyes. ‘ T wish I could have gone myself, ” she sighed, as she returned to her baby’s -■radle. “Poor Charlie; I do hope he will be as good as his word.” ■ She sat dowrn, with her foot on the “You’ll have to put one of your sticks on the fire, Tom,” she said; “the room is too cold for the child. I thought the coal would have been here before this.” “And baby ought to have had her powder at four,” said fhe thoughtful Annie; “do you mind how fast she breathes, mother?” The mother bent over the little sufferer, and pressed her lips to the hot, dry little mouth. Then she went to tbe door and looked long and wistfully down the village road, and such a sharp pain at her poor heart. She had worked so hard, and hoped so much for this Christmas; sewed so constantly and patiently for the few bills that Charlie had gone out to expend. Oh, surely, thoughtless, and thriftless, as, he was, he would not forget and the children that Christmas Eve* But the stormy hours wore by, yet he did not return. Poor, half famished little Tom sat before the fire, and watched the scanty supper with longing eyes. His mother noticed the little fellow, and proceeded at once to place it on the table; she made them eat, and then coaxed them to go to bed. Then she *at down again to her work and her anxious vigil. Slowly and wearily the hours wore on, and with every moment the storm seemed to increase. At last she heard the village bells striking for midnight. At the same moment a feeble little moan from the crib made her start to her feet. The babe was growing worse, its breath came now in sharp gasps, and its little face began to wear a strange, purplish pallor. The poor mother caught it up with a stifled cry. Then she ran to the bed where Tom was lying fast asleep, and dreaming, no doubt, of what the long-hoped-for-to-morrow would bring him. “Tom, Tom!” she cried, shaking him gently, “get up, dear— you must run for vour father, for I’m afraid baby’s dying.” The sturdy little fellow was on his feet in an instant. “The saloon, mother?” he inquired, significantly, with a strange look of sorrowful humiliation in his young eyes as he quickly drew on bis warm jacket. “Yes, Tom! And be sure you bring him; and if there’s any money left, run by the apothecary’s and get the medicine —but it’s too late now! Be quick, now, Tom! How very dark it is! I’ll wake Annie to go with you, if you’re afraid.” “No, mother, she shan’t go out in this storm—I’m not afraid!” and away the manly little fellow went, out into the ■wild, stormy midnight. The mother sat down and held the dying babe close to her bosom. And this was the night for wrhich she had worked, and hoarded, and hoped for so long! An hour passed, and little Tom returned, drenched and shivering. “He’s there, mother,” he half sobbed, “but he won’t come, and the money’s ail gone, he says. I came by the apothecary’s, but he wouldn’t let me have the medicine. Oh, mother, what shall vje “Heaven knows, my boy,” said hi3 mother, as the breathing on her bosom grew more convulsive, “put on more wood and wake Annie, then you had better run back. The child is dying— tell your father so.” Tom obeyed! Another hour went by, and above the din of the storm, above the sobs of little Annie, the waiting wife caught the sound of that heavy, unsteady footstep. He was coming, but it was too late. The babe that she held so closely to her poor, aching heart, was now past all earthly suffering. She arose, and laid it in its crib, and crossed the little, waxen hands upon the pulseless bosom. Then she rose to meet her husband. He staggered in, pale and abashed, and half desperate. She pointed in silence to the little, marble face on the cradle-pillow. N “Your work,” she said, hoarsely. “You have killed my baby. The medicine might have saved her! Where's my money, that I worked so hard for?” The shock half sobered him, and he answered, defiantly: “I went to the saloon and gambled it away. You might have known that I would.” This poor wife had spirit and temper enough beneath her meekness and patience, and it blazed up fiercely now. She turned to push him from her in bitter anger and disgust, but the sight of his face arrested her. A bloated, brutal, drunkard’s face, but the face of her own husband; the face that had won her “Mary,” he said, solemlv, as he entered the room and knelt down beside her, “I’ve brought you something,” and he laid a folded paper on her lap. “I’ve signed the pledge, an! intend to begin a new life. If God will forgive me, can you, Mary?” She glanced at the paper, and then she caught his poor, repentent face to her bosom, and covered it with kisses, “Oh, Charlie,” she sobbed, “I do forgive you, and I love you so!” “ ’Tisyour love that will save me,” he answered solemnly — “my wife’s forgiving love.” Tom and Annie crept from the room, and stood hand in hard in the glittering Christmas dawnlight. “We shall have a sad Christmas,Tom,” sobbed Annie, “much as we’ve thought of it.” “No we shan’t,,” responded Tom, his blue eyes flashing- \viih triumph; “we shall always call this tie happiest Christmas of our lives, A.urie, for father has signed the pledge!” And little Tom was right.

Lyears before, in her happy girlhood; the There was never an idle moment for her, face that was so noble and. manly, w en not even on Christmas eve. The babe slept, its cheek hot and flushed, its breath coming in quick, short gasps. Presently the children came in from the pine ridge, beyond the village, where they had ^een to gather wood for the fire. “We’ve got a lot, mother,” said Tom, a sturdy little fellow, the image of his father. We’ll have a rousing fire on Christmas, won’t we, Annie? Annie nodded and crept into the corner holding her little red hands to the fire. “I’m not cold,” said Tom. Girls be so tender mother—let Annie stay in; I’ll feed the cow and get in the water—I’m in for Christmas work,I am! Say,mother, shall we have ary goodies to-morrow?” His mother smiled. “We must wait and see,” she said: “there’s no tolling what Saata Claus may do.” 4 I wish he’d bring me a jack knife, or a humming top, like Ned Raynor’s,” said Tom, as he ran off to finish his work. Having warmed her hands, Annie stole softly to the baby's crib, and sat dotvn beside it. Mrs. Rushton sewed on, and the stormy twilight closed in rapidly.

However, we got on board and foiud that we were on a ferryboat that went icross the Y to some pleasure grounds, vlere we found enough to entertain us fer several hours —a grove fitted up with all sorts of gymnastic apparatus and scores of people enjoying themselves tp the top oi their bent. The curiom *ature about the place (aside from fae astonishing fact that we did not have to pay to enter the grounds—I still tofink it was a blunder on the part of somebody that we did not)—was that eight out of every ten of the athletes \(Tere young women, who seemed to be fasicinaed with sports tbat arc usually mofl^Rized by boys. It was not an extd(feinary thing to young women of from twenty to thirty swinging, but I was greatly amused at some of the feats that they did and at others that they undertook to do. The “giant’s stride,” as it.is called in England, is peculiarly a boy's sport. Four strong ropes, with big loops in the ends, are attached to a movable block on a pivot at the top of a high, strong post. Yet these strong, robust Dutch girls would half sit in these loops and whirl ajgtmd with all the abandon of bom ^Pletes, touching a foot now and then, Kfcug into the air, laughing and shouting- all the while. It was great sport for them, and at times it was highly diverting to the spectators—when they would miss their footing and get bumped against each other. But they were utteito.nconscious of everything except thl^njoyment they got from the exercise, and did not mind bumps or being dragged over the ground. A rod or two further on one would find half a dozen young women having a match to see who could make the most rounds on a horizontal ladder; and two or three put up a spring-board and attempted " a jump. The girls had a monopoly of the sport that evening, certainly. There were only a few young men "about, and they looked as if they thought the exercise would be too violent for them. Moreover these young women were of fine appearance, many of them; not rough, uncouth peasant girls, but intelligent, well-dressed—evidently belonging to good families. The color in their cheeks, and the buoyant, easy manner in which they walked, indicated plainly enough the good which this exercise does them. IXovv to Care for Horses# Commissioner Colman, of the agricultural bureau, was visited by a Washing- ton Star reporter and questioned in regard to the proper feeding and care of horses. The commissioner has devoted a great deal of care and study to the horse. He owns a large farm near St. Louis, which for years has been mainly devoted, under his own supervision, to the breeding, raising, and training of fine horses. In response to a request for some information with regard to the feeding and care of hoises, based upon his experience, he said that the feeding of horses was a very simple matter, the main requisite being the best quality of oats and hay. Damaged hay and damaged oats were unfit to be fed to horses, and most of the injuries to the digestive organs were produced by food of a bad character. Some horses require more food than others. For horses that work, about twelve quarts of oats per day to each horse, and from twelve to fifteen pounds of hay was the proper quantity to be led. The oats should be fed in three equal installments, and the main portion of hay should be given at night. To horses ths lave but little exercise, not more shan eight or nine quarts of oats and about the same quantity of hay as above should be given. Regularity of feeding was very desirable. Horses should be fed three times a day at a certain hour, and minute if possible. They are excellent time keepers, they know just when to expect their feed, and if they do not get it at that time they become worried and fretted. Oats is a better grain food than corn, because it is lees heating and produces more muscle; but three or four ears of good, ripe corn tHrown into the feed-box occasionally would be greatly relished by the horses, and would be beneficial. An occasional addition of two or three quarts of good wheat bran, either wetted or dry, is also relished; it furnishes a variety, and conduces to the health of the horse. A horse to do well needs daily exercise, and cannot remain in perfect health if kept standing in the stall day after day. Two or three hours at least of exercise is essential to health. Horses should be given water about half an hour before their meals, or not until an hour has passed after they have been fed grain. The stomach of a horse is very small, and if a large quantity of vjater is taken the water washes the grain into the intestines without having oeen properly digested, and, frequently inflammation or colic is the result. A good bed to sleep upon is indispensable, and many horses will not lie down unless they have a soft bed to rest upon. Thorough grooming, removing the dust and dirt and the exhalations of the system from the coat of the horse is also indispensable to good heallh and condition. A thorough currying and brushing should be given daUy tj°everv Kindness i.a the trealmeal' \aorses is i very desirable. A horse responds to kind treatment and endeavors to repel and defend himself against cruel treatment. Vicious horses are produced by vicious treatment. A horse has the same senses as a man, can be educated to do a great many things, if the proper pains is taken with him from his birth up, and if his senses are properly appealed to he will become a kind, useful and intelligent domestic animal. The abuse and ill-treatment given to horses throughout the country is very reprehensible, and every kind-hearted man should do all that he can to bring about a better treatment of the most useful animal that the Creator has conferred upon him.

Farm and Garden Notes, The pear delights in a deep, rich, warm loam, with a clay subsoil. It is said that 955 farms in Iowa are owned by women and that twenty dairy farms are managed by women. It is a good plan to wrap a piece of tarred paper around the bodies of trees during the winter to keep rabbits away. Provide for the winter water supply of all live stock; they should have access to pure water at pleasure throughout the winter. Never plant black raspberry roots from an old, worn-out plantation. If the old plant is thrifty and healthy, age makes no difference. Place a teaspoonful of salt close around, each raspberry plant now. Scatter maA nure and salt freely on tbe asparagus beds in the fall. Skim milk is said to be good to cause hens to lay. It is often fed in the form of loppered milk, in which form the fowls are very fond of it. The best solid food is wheat. Do not forget to provide before the ground freezes a box of good soil for a hot-bed next spring. Place the box in some sheltered place, and cover it with boards; or put it under some building. An Ohio farmer is a strong advocate of the idea that apples grown on certain soils keep better than on others. He says willow twigs grown on red clay do not keep well, but his trees on yellow clay bear fruit which keeps til! after harvest. Pigs of about one hundred pounds weight make the best bacon. It is more readily cured than hams are; placing it in a mild pickle for six weeks and then smoking it. Belly pieces are used for bacon. w Bacon is ;i good change in meat at most any time of the year. It is a mistake, says the American Cultivator, to suppose that parsnips are improved by being allowed to remain in the ground all winter. It is best to d*g them in the fall and store them in sand in the cellar, and they will keep better and be much more palatable than those * left in _tho ground. HUMOR OF THE HAY.

Life Story of the British Spy—A Man Who Was Unlucky Throughout his Entire Career. 3 Many Facts in the History of Andre that are Full of Interest— His Monument in West minster Abbey. [Special New York Letter.] ' Ever since the blowing up of the Andre monument, erected by Cyrus W Field, on TreasonjHill, Major John Andre has once more been prominentlv before the American public, and the citizens of Tappan, where the explosion occurred, the papers of this city, and orators here and elsewhere have been more or less excited and moved over the unfortunate young man of the last century. J-V-: THE DESTROYED MONUMENT AT TAPPAN. Every reader of history has heard more or less of the beautiful young Honora Sncyd, the adored love of Andre, and whose final rejection of his suit sent him out of England and into eternity sooner than than he would have otherwise have left one and reached the other. Perhaps every one hasn’t heard, however, that the adorable young lady in question had suitors while yet in her teens other than Andre, and one in particular, whose curious ideas are worth noticing. This was one Thomas Day, an eccentric genius, who seldom combed his hair, wa9 pitted with small pox, round shouldered and ugly, but—he had $5,000 a year and waded in. Ilis ideas of matrimony were peculiar, and he had taken two little girls from an orphan asylum intending to raise them and marry the one he loved best after rearing her in the way she should go. In the meantime, Miss Snyed crossed his path, and being already raised, anti possessing a handsome-4 nee, blue eyes, and -golden hairT she captivated him, i|fWIW>i||ll!l|i|liilii||)iiiHli and for a while it ■^UWWIWWII'PIUU the army, his want of ready cash being an unsurmountable objection in the eyes of the old folks on both sides; for money in those days carried its weight, even when joined to uncombed hair and a pitted countenance. Mr. Day, however, submitted such a voluminous proposal of marriage, and required so many conditions, verbally and in manuscript, that the fair Honora gave CYRUS W. FIELD. him the go-by, as she had done Andre ; and then he turned to the little orphans and fired off pistols close to their ears to give them self-control, and dropped horsealing wax on their naked shoulders to give them fortitude, until finally he fell in love with one of them. It was the old story, and the one he wanted he couldn’t get, and the one he could get he didn’t want, and they both married somebody else. Then he wrote a story to amuse the children of his lost love, Honora, called “Sandford and Merton;” and for a time it eclipsed Robinson Crusoe in merry England, but didn’t last, and is out of print long ago. Among other suitors there came along a jolly young married man named Richard Lovell Edgeworth, who ran away from Oxford with a Miss Elers, and married her before he was twenty, and had left her behind on the continent while he roved over England in search of fun and an affinity, as he had succeeded to an Irish property since his marriage which demanded something in this line to keep up the reputation ot the estate. He kept up the reputation until July 17, 1773, when, his wife having considerately died a few months before, he'returned to Honora, and was married to her on the above date. The beautiful wife fell a victim to consumption in a few years thereafter, and died before Andre did. Then the bereaved Mr. Edgeworth married Honora’s sister for his third wife, who, by the way, had also been sought in marriage by Mr. Day. before ho finallv decided on bach- e’.ordom. Elizabeth also quitted the world and the loving Mr. Edgeworth together, in a short time, and then he took a fourth wife in a sister of Admiral Beaufort, who stayed by him through life. Ho, however, seems to have thought the most of his second wife, Honora, as it is said he gave the name of Sneyd- borough to a North Carolina town in uer honor, he owning some estates in this at that time English territory. In spite of all, Andre appears to have been unable to get over his early love for Honora, and when first captured by the American forces in Canada hid a picture of Honora in his mouth while his captors were searching him, and managed to retain it, as it was one he had IIONORA SNEYD, ANDRE’S LOVE. made of her himself, he beng an artist of no mean talent under ordinary circumstances. He drew a picture of himself seated at a table on the day before he was executed at Tappan, which, however, is not a fair sample of his ability in this line, as he was expecting to die on that day instead of the next, and under these circumstances was not in the best of spirits, and neither is the picture, although we believe the original pen-and- ink sketch is held in high esteem by its owner. A better sketch, and one said to have been made by himself from which the one given with this letter is taken, the original of which was made in England before he emigiated to America. Among the curious things regarding the death of Andre are the visions and dreams which presaged it here and in Ungla.od It is vouchsafed for that in i /7b, seven years before he was executed he mY a visit to Miss Anna Seward, an and she described the scene, the court, the judge, and the surroundings with great minuteness. Once more she was quieted by her friend, who smiled at her fears, but again she awakened her friend by screaming out that they were hang'ng her brotlier as a spy, from a tree, and in his regimentals. There was no more sleep for either that night, and they arose and entered in their diaries the particulars of the successive visions, with the date, the friend trying to allay the fears of Miss Andre as best she could until morning broke and daylight banished the fears cf that dreadful night. The next mail from America brought the sad tidings of the death of Andre, as described by his sister through her visions to her friend in England. There is yet one more story of this kind in connection with his demise, and one which brings General Washington to the foreground. After the British evacuated Philadelphia and the American forces took possession, a banquet was given by the officers in the Springetts- bury manor house, near Twentieth and Spring Garden streets, which had formerly been used by the Penn family as a residence, but was a favorite place for entertainments at this time and for dinners given by the military to the citizens. It had been frequently used in this manner by the British, and now by the American forces. i Two ladies who had known Andre well when he hau been stationed there, and who had frequently dined at parties in this same house when he was one of the guests, were present at thi3 dinner given to General Washington and some of his aides. As they were passing through the groves of cedar trees and catalpas which surroundsd the mansion they simultaneously perceived a corpse dangling from one of the limbs in the uniform of a British officer, and while they stood terrified tne body swung round facing them, and though calm and stiff as in death, theyT both recognized the features of Major Andre, and then the illusion vanished. At dinner they spoke of the vision, and with such solemnity that it provoked a smile, and finally, considerable chaffing laughter at their expense, from Washington and others assembled, at their credulity; one of them especially remarking it as being the first time that she had seen General Washington indulge in hearty laughter. Shortly thereafter Andre was hung; and many years after one of the ladies seeing Washington agriji, he then Leing President of the United States, she mentioned the circumstance to him, reminding him of his mirth. He appeared troubled, and asked her to please never refer to it again, as the whole subject had been a source of great trouble and perplexity to him. The narrator states that one of the ladies was the daughter and sister of two of the first physicians of Philadel- phia at that day, :md t hat her companion was equally well connected, but omits who forthwith wrote to some friends *bf hers, a Mr. Cunningham and a Mr.Newton, that she intended bringing an acquaintance to visit them the next day. That night Mr. Cunningham, who was a curate and a poet, had a strange dream, in which he found himself in a forest and in a strange land. While looking about he perceived a solitary horseman approaching at great speed, who had scarcely reached tbe spot where the dreamer stood when he was seized by three men who rushed out of a thicket, and, after searching his person, laid hold of the horse’s bridle and hurried him away. The dreamer specially was struck by the lace of the lone rider, which was specially interesting, and his sympathy for him in this misfortune awoke him. Presently he fell asleep again, and once more dreamed that he was standing in a strange land, near a large city among thousands of people, and that the same person that he had previously dreamed of was slowly marched out between the files of spectators on either side and brought to a gallows, where he was hanged. He awoke in a fright, and the next day while waiting with Mr. Newton for the arrival of Miss Seward and ner friend, he told Mr. Norton of the dream, stating that it had left a very vivid impression on his mind. Upon the arrival ol the two friends he was horrified to see in the face of Andre the features of the solitary horseman and also the man who was hanged. Apropos of this comes the story of the visit of a lady friend to Miss Hannah Andre, just about the time of the execution. This friend shared the bed of Miss Andre, and was awakened one night by the violent sobbing of her companion. Upon entreating to know the cause, Miss Andre stated that she had seen her brother in a vision, and that he had been taken prisoner by the Americans. Her friend quieted her, and she again fell asleep, but Miss Andre started her companion from slumber by the announcement that she had again seen her brother and they were trying him as spy, me names, iHnaaefpc^ tournament 6 the return of gland, and inJ ligence of the death of Andre reached that place. Disclaimed that the treasonable papers found in Andre’s boots at the time, September 23, 1780, andjwhich are on file with the pass in the same library, still bear the wrinkles made' bv the impress of Andre's feet 105 years ago. Tne name of Anderson was also assumed by Benedict Arnold years afterward, when he was a refugee from America and ostracised from good society in England. He was doing business in Gaudaloupe when it was captured by the French forces, and lie packed h;s wealth in a cask, assumed the name of Anderson, and escaped to a British vessel, the name bringing him better luck than it did Andre. Andre’s executioner was a Tory named Strickland, who had been captured by the American forces, and whose liberty was granted on the condition that he perform the part of hangman on this occasion, which he did, an eye witness stating that he had so thoroughly blackened his face, with what appeared to be greasy blacking from the outside of a pot, that his features were unrecognizable, and that he looked frightful euough to perform any work of this description. The same narrator states that Andre’s two servants, who were permitted to attend him for the purpose of taking his clothes after the execution, were both dwarls, being under four feet, and that they were most gaudily decked out on that occasion, as he particularly noticed them standing at the head of the coffin after the hanging, and the body had been stripped of its regimentals, which one of them held upon his arm, the body being buried in its underclothing at th% foot of the gallows tree, three feet below the surface. After the remains had laid there forty-one year3 they were removed to England, in 1821, and the spot was lost sight of for some time, until a New York merchant, a Mr. Lee, in 1847, commemorated it by placing over it a bowlder, about three feet long, inscribed with the words: 4 ‘Andre executed Lai i took a leading ious tickets, to be worn by It was a grand and glorious triumph of mock virtue over vice, and tinsel over solid sense. 1*“ river was lined with boats and barges gaily decked, and the city was filled with knights riding about on horseback, for this was the festival called Mischianza, and the Knights of the Burning Mountain and the Knights of the Blended Rose met in mortal combat to shiver their swords in defense of their true lady loves, who were pres> ent and watched the fray from safe seats around the circle. A great deal of money was spent, and although Philadelphia had less than 30,000 population then, they had balloons, Chinese lanterns, plenty of skyrockets, and a dining room containing fifty-six pier mirrors and over 1,200 dishes. There were some military men who, of course, objected to all this knight-errantry business, and one of them was an old major of artillery in the British army, who, when asked by his child what was the difference between the Knights of the Burning Moun- lain and^the Knights of the Blended Rose, said that “one were tom fools and the other dom fools.i,YThe wife of Benedict Arnold, then unmarried, and her sisters were among the favored ones present, being the Misses Shippen, and by many it was afterward thought that it was through the intoE^&cy and friendship of Addre for Miss SMppen, the future wife of the arch-traitor, that the first treasonable steps of Arnold were brought to the MAJOR JOHN ANDRE. Arnold’s pass to andre. notice of the British with success. The pass given by Arnold to Andre, who had assumed the name*;!' Anderson, is still on file at the State library of New York at Albany, and the cut below is a facsimile of it, and it was taken from Andre by his captors when they made him strip under the famous whitewood tree near Tarrytown, and which tree was WHERE ANT RE WAS EXECUTED. Oct. 2, 1780.” A cut of the stone taken from a drawing made of it about that time, is given below. This bolder was removed by the owner of the ground, who objected to the numerous visitors, and was chipped to pieces by relic hunters until there was nothing left of it shortly thereafter, and nothing to mark the spot until Cyrus W. Field hunted it up with Dean Stanley .about six years ago, and erected a monument later on, which has been the source of so many explosive experiments. The only monument ever erected to Andre so far that has been fortunate enough to hold its own with the world is that erected by King George III. to Andre’s memory in Westminster Abbey, near the Poet’s Corner. It stands seven and a half feet high, and is surmounted by the British lion, and a figure of Britannia bewailing Andre’s fate. In the panel is represented Andre being led to execution, General Washington taking a letter peti- Aiary Touts a rah bit breeder.

St. Andre married a widow* who brought him 80,000 pounds, how’- ever, and this raised him a little in the public estimation, although the ladv was so imprudent that she was forthwith ci/smissed from the queen’s service It is also claimed that St. Andre at one time saved the life of the famous Vol- taire by holding the arms of the Earl of Peterborough, who, with sword in hand, intended to slay Voltaire, who was visiting him in England, on discovering some pecuniary dishonesty his visstor had practiced upon him. His guest fled from the house while Andre held the earl, so the story goes. Spirto Gentil. A Story of the Borealis. The place was the old Warsaw campground in Milton county, Georgia The time recently. A large and soriously attentive congregation had assembled for the night service, the negroes in the rear of the pulpit, as was the custom in those days before the war. The preecher was a talented young man, at that rime stationed at Marrietta. He had reached a point in the sermon at which he held the almost undivided attention of the vast audience, and perfect quiet reigned. Just at that moment, when the interest was most intense, an old negro woman hopped over into the altar, right in front of the preacher, and shrilly cried out: “Hallelujah i the judgment day am come.” Her joyful exclamation caused the crowd to look out from under the arbor, and, sure enough, there was a striking and magnificent spectacle. The northern heavens were lit up by a gorgeous aurora. .Not many in that crowd understood the phenomena, which, in fact is rarely observable from southern latitudes, and, not understanding, many concluded that the old auntie’s explanation was the true cne. “Ah! then there was hurrying to, and gathering tears, and tremblings of distress.” Indeed, so great was the commotion that there was imminent danger of a stampede and that somebody would be crushed in the swaying crowd. It was at this crisis a preacher, well known to Methodist circles, tall, angular, red-headed, with the voice of a stentor, ran out and mounted a convenient stump. “Be calm, my friends,” he shouted, “be calm. This is not the judgment day, for how could the judgment day come in the night?” The incongruity struck the people with soothing force, their fears subsided, the preacher finished his sermon and order reigned in W arsaw. — Fair burn (Go.)

THE DEAD PAST. Ip these days of cool and reflective historical criticism, the events of the past decade can be discussed without arousing any of the bitter animosities so prevalent during the bygone years. Sectional strife has passed away. The North and South are united in a bond of brotherhood stronger than ever before, and the only rivalry be tween them is that of open-handed good fellowship. The success of Lincoln is rarely questioned now, and by none less than by the South era people. The noble qualities of Grant, whose superb heroism was only equalled by his magnanimosi- ty, are unquestioned throughout the length and breadth of the nation. So, too, are the exhibitions of high manhood, Christian forbearance, pa tience under the most trying circumstances and adroit generalship displayed by Lee, freely admitted in the North. In the face of these facts—fact; that are palpable to all—how absurd, nay, how criminal are the vaporing? of a Sherman or the idiotic winnings of a Reid. The South long ago itc cepted the rgsult of the war in good faith, and entered upon its new era with an heroic rpsolve to do its best, And it js a striking proof of Southern nobility that, after passing through such years of terrible suffering as the Civil War engendered, no traqes of hatred nqr revenge are to be found.

This interesting bird is of a sad and thoughtful disposition, much given to pondering over the sins of the world and the general depravity of mankind. Unfortunately he has an impediment in his speech and therefore his voice is not as musical as Patti’s, but that doesn’t inpair his enthusiasm in the least. He sings his song beneath our window at various hours of the night with a gusto quite appalling. We have argued with him; we have begged, coaxed, threatened and thrown shoes and things at him; but all to no purpose. He takes our mild remonstrances for applause, and opens his throttle yet a little more, if possible. We can stand it no longer. There is blood on the moon, and fire in our editorial eye. We have bought a Gun ! Now let our gallic friend with the melancholly air and bazoo voice beware! We propose to stand up for our rights, and if that reckless songster warbles again beneath our window, we will shoot the top of his head off if it takes all the ammunition in Florida.

'SPHRAIM BROWN, Lowell, Mt CHRISTMAS DAY. The Christmas chimes are pealing high Beneath the solemn Christinas sky, And blowing winds their notes prolong Like echoes from an angel’s song; Good will and peace, peace and good will Ring out the carols glad and gay, Telling the heavenly message still, That Christ the Child was born to-day. In lowly hut and palace hail Peasant and king keep festival, And childhood wears a fairer guise, And tenderer shine all mother-eyes; The aged man forgets his years, The mirthful heart is doubly gay, The sad are cheated of their tears, For Christ the Lord was born to-day. —Susan Coolidge. HOW SANTA_CUUS CAME. It was Christmas eve, clear and frosty. The sky stretched above, one cloudless canopy of blue, studded with countless gem-like stars, while the silvery moon shed her matchless radiance over all. The night came on apace, and the many feet which thronged the crowded streets, or entered the brilliantly lighted stores or saloons, whose tempting wares forbade that any should pass them by, frew less and less; while within the wellir.gs, whose tall fronts stood up against the quiet sky, many little hearts beat high with hope of anticipation, and many a childish voice might be heard importuning the good Saint Nicholas for the possession of some coveted treasure. But it is not with the rich that we have to do to-night; so passing the homes of affluence and pride, we will pause before a tiny cottage in a remote part of the great, teeming city. Very tiny indeed it appeared at first sight, for it was only one story high, and over the low roof the drooping eaves might almost be touched by your hand. A small wooden paling enclosed the tiny strip of garden in front, and a plot scarcely larger at the back of the house; and here lived the Widow Martin and two children—twins—a boy and girl, of seven years. The blinds that protected the two small windows had been drawn close; and in a low chair, with her eyes bent upon some fine sewing, sat Mrs. Martin, glancing occasionally at the innocent sports of her children, while a pensive smile rested upon her lips. Rousing herself at last from the painful reverie into which she had fallen, and which had drawn more than one sigh from her lips, she said, quietly: “Come, children, it’s time you were to bed and asleep.’ The children ceased their play, and came to her side; then throwing their arms about her neck and casting a bright glance toward the fire-place, where two little stockings were suspended, Nellie, her mother’s namesake, said for what we want, and then we can 20 to bed, mamma.” Mrs. Marlin sighed. Little chance there was for gifts at this holiday time. Alone in the world, her husband dead, and her only brother alienated and wan- j dering, she knew not where, her utmost exertions for the last twelve mouths had scarce sufficed to win for them the barest necessities. It was hard to disappoint their chi dish faith; and her eyes filled with tears as she answered sadly: “I fear Santa Claus will pass us by tonight, my darling. He is little likely to 15nd his way to our poor home.” “Oh, yes, he will, mamma,” cried Eddie, confidently; “he has never forgotten us before, and I know he won’t this time. I mean to call up to him right away.” * A-flight sound outside, at this moment, as of a foot crushing the crisp snow, caused Mrs. Martin to start; theu she resumed her sewing, while Eddie approched the chimney, and in his clear, childish VQice petitioned Sata Claus not to forget them, but to bring the overcoat, cap, and boots, so sorely needed, and whatever toys he could spare from his generous store beside. “There, now!” he exclaimed, stepping back, his little cheeks glowing with anticipation, “Now, Nellie, it’s your turn.” The little girl advanced timidly, and bent her face down with grave earnestness. “Dear Santa Claus,” she called, sweetly, * ‘please come to-night and bring us a few presents. •Mamma’s afraid you’ll forget us, but I know you won’t.” “Now, mamma,” she said,returning to her mother, with her little face radiant with the trust her words had in- ipired, “you ask him for something, and then he’ll come, I’m sure. He won’t disappoint all of us.” Mrs. Martin smiled through her tears. “You will have to ask him for me, Nellie. He doesn't listen to olef people.” “Very well, mamma. What shall I ask him for?” But Mrs. Martin didn’t hestr her in the emotions that overpowered her. “Oh, that some good angel would guide my brother’s wandering footsteps back to me,” she faltered, brokenly, “that I might offer him my forgiveness, and ask his, that I might once more have a sympathizing heart to love and lean upon.” She bowed her head upon her hands and wept, while the child, slipping from her side, again stepped forward to the chimney. “Dear Santa Claus,” once more she pleaded, “won’t you please bring Uncle Lddie back to mamma? She wants to forgive him, she cries for him every day. Oh, dear Santa Claus, say you will!” What made the little one start back, while a bright spot sprang to either cheek. Upon the low roof of the cottage a slight sound was heard, and then down the chimney came the word* earnest and clear: “I will.” With bated breath Nellie hastened back to her mother, who, in the violence of her grief, had not heard aught that passed. “Mamma,” she whispered, “Santa Claus was there, I know, for he answered me. Uncle will come.” Mrs. Marlin kissed her little girl with a sad, incredulous smile. “Let us hope he will, mv love. And now you must get to bed without further delay.” and laying her work aside she arose to see her little ones in their humble couch. While the chihli en had been engaged at their play a man had approached the cottage from without, and pausing in front of it, surveyed it gloomily. “And this is the place to which she has been driven,” he murmured: “he must be dead then. Has poverty soft- cned her heart, I wonder, or would she still drive me from her with harsh and bitter words? I have enough to lift them all to happiness and plenty; may I shower it upon them, or must I be a wanderer once more? If I only had some sign—some means of knowing whether my return would be welcomed—whether on this anniversary night of three years ago—-there is a feeling of tenderness, of longing in her heart, for me. One word of intimation that the past would be forgotten and forgiven, would reconcile us again, and make us both so happy.” As he stood there, irresolute, his eye fell upon the low roof, and a sudden and novel idea entered his mind. “The children will doubtless be petitioning Santa Claus for Christmas gifts; and how I should like to play the part of the good saint in their behalf, and far exceed all they could ask. With my ear to the chimney I could hear all they say; and if one word of tender remembrance reaches me I will go to her,acknowledge my error, and bring, on this Christmas Eve, happiness, joy and peace to her heart. There will be no one passing this lonely place, and there is no danger of my being seen.” Possessed with this idea, and trembling with excitement, he drew himself slowly and carefully up on the wooden palings, and from thence gained the roof. lie had scarcely secured himself at his novel post ^hen Eddie’s sturdy voice reached his ear, followed by the gentler acceuts of his little niece. Then followed a short silence; and disappointed and sad, he was about to vacate his post, when once more the soft silvery tones came floating up: “Dear Santa Claus, won’t you please bring Uncle Eddie back to mamma? She wants to forgive him, she cries for him every day. Oil, dear Santa Claus, say you will!” The man’s eyes grew heavy with joyful tears, and almost involuntarily, he made the answer which Had so surprised his little niece; and then sliding noiselessly down, sped with rapid steps toward the distant city. An h-A entering on an uncertainly; and as I was about to turn away, leaving the experiment untried, when glancing up at the roof, the novel idea occurred to me tc^Tawl up to the chimney and listen, it perchance the children might have their requests to proffer to Santa Claus. “I did so, and heard first Eddie’s, then Nellie’s voice, but no word of remembrance or desire for the wanderer; and with all the old bitterness sweeping over me afresh, 1 was about to turn avv^y from you once more, when again her sweet voice came floating up to me, with its loving petition for ‘uncle Eddie.’ In my joy and excitement I answered her, and then hurried awTay to fulfill , her requests. I have returned again, will you bid me stay?” Once more Mrs. Martin threw herself into his arms, with a burst ot grateful tears. “Stay,” she repeated; “that was the sound I heard, then, outside of the cottage. Oh, thank God, who put it into my darling’s heart to speak those blessed, blessed words!” “Amen!” echoed the brother, fervently; “but for her loving appeal I should have been a second time a wanderer through the world. And now, my dear sister, bid farewell to poverty and wTant from this hour, for I have enough for all.” Itw as a joyful Christmas morning that dawned upon that little household. Nellie and Eddie gazed with wide open eyes of delight upon the brimming stockings and the mysterious bundles beneath them; and then as their eyes wandered from them to Uncle Eddie, who had stolen near by unperceived, she flung herself into his arms with a scream of joy. “Oh, mamma, mamma, didn’t I tell you so? Santa Claus has brought Uncle Eddie hack to us, and all of these beautiful things beside!” Nellie has had firm faith in the presence and efficacy £2 the good saint ever since then; and/peace and plenty has flowed uninterruptedly in the train of that joyful night, when so welcome a Santa Claus came to the Martins.

Three years before she had been happy in the love of a ; husband and brother; now she was bereft ’ of both. A dispute, trivial in its com- I mencement, had arisen between the two men; both we.ie proud, high-tempered, and hasty; and although a word from her, fitly spoken, would have sufficed to pour oil on the troubled waters, and restore all to peace and harmony again, it was withheld; and taking sides with her 1 husband, she added her reproaches and j recriminations to his; and the war waged 1 fiercer and fiercer, until in a moment of j ungovernable passion she bade him leave ■ her house, and never darken her doors again. Bitterly had she since repented the words when it was too late to recall ‘ them, and miles separated her from the brother she had loved so dearly. And when at the end of two years her husband died, leaving his business affairs so complicated and embarrassed, that in a few months afterward she had been driven to this meager home, and despite her utmost efforts destitut\pn stared them in the face, the bitter sting of poverty added to ;ier grief and remorse, until it seemed . that life was too great a burden to bear; and her heart yearned to aching for the return of that wandering brother, and the soothing balm of peace and reconciliation. “Oh, that my sweet Nellie's childish fancies might be realized!” 3he murmured, sadly; “that there was some good spirit to bear my love and repentance to my dear brother, and restore him once more to my arms! That would be a blessed Christmas g’ift, iudeed.” Even while she spoko, a low knock sounded on the door. Rising from her seat, she drew the bolt with trembling haste, and threw the door open, to be confronted by a man, muffled up so as to be unrecognizable and his arms full of bundles. “Will you allow Santa Claus to fulfil the desires of the dear little ones who have asked in such loving faith to- niahti” he said, with a grave sweetness; then stepping into the room he laid his bundles on the table, and pushing his cap from his brow, confronted her. .*1 have come hack to you, Nellie, he said, holding out his arms; ‘‘for from the lips of my own dear little niece I have heard that I am forgiven.

They are larger from noon to twilight the next morning than from twilight until noon; they are smaller in the winter than in summer. Water and the sap of trees expand not only in proportion as they go below the freezing point. Low temperature as well as high promotes evaporation, and the trees evaporate from their branches in winter, and so the colder the weather the more they shrink. Attention is called by the Coal Trad& Journal, in an elaborate article, to the fact that the value of water as an aid to blasting, when used in connection with explosives, is rapidly becoming recognized in this country, as well as in the larger mines and quarries of Europe. Among the favorite points pertaining to this process, special mention is made of the fact that the powder, in exploding, bursts the tube containing the water,and —careful estimates showing—with in creased power or explosive violence; this is because the rending force is extended through the water, in accordance with certain well-known principles of hydrostatics, over the enlarged interior area of the bore hole, due to the space occupied by the water tube. A much larger quantity of the material to be mined or quarried is thus brought down or loosened with a smaller quantity of the explosive used. Again, tho heat given off by the burning of the powder ana surrounding gases converts a larger proportion of the water into steam, the elastic force of which assists in the operation of blasting, and the steam and remaining water together extinguish the flame and flash of the powder. A Winter’s Tale. The winter days are near at hand When silently through all the land The snow will fall; Its dazzling whiteness all around Will drift above the frozen ground, Deep over all.

Y THE WEATHER PROPHETS. THE UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE AND ITS WORK. Where Stor es Are Brcu eil ami What Tlielr Track—Why Wind Blows and Kain Falls* It was to protect the shipping of lake and ocean that the weather bureau was brought into existence by General Albert J. Meyer in 1870. From the twenty stations of 1S70 have grown 400. The sphere of usefulness of the service has devoloped with the number of stations. Beside warning shipping of the approach of storms, farmers and shippers of fruits have been saved thousands of dollars by being notified of coming rain or frost or the approach of a cold wave. It -was formerly the custom to mail reports and predictions from stations to country post offices that could be reached ;he same day the reports and predictions were male, and there to display them. The daily newspapers are devoting so much space and attention every day to matters meterological that the rural bulletins were discontinued in July. Bulletins are now displayed in every commercial organization’s rooms, and are furnished all daily newspapers, while from each signal station signals forecasting the weather for the succeeding twenty-four hours are displayed from 7:30 a. m. A square blue spot on a red background is a cautionary signal against storm. A round blue spot on a white background bespeaks rain or snow; a square blue spot on a white background means that a cold wave is approaching; a blue crescent on & white background Indicates clear or fair weather, and a blue cross oa a white background calls for local rain or snow.. The round red spot on a white background means high temperature, the red crescent lower temperature, and the red star stationary temperature. Since General W. B. Hazen took charge of the service on the death of General Meyer in 1880, reorganization has been going forward and the scope of the service has been widened. The Fort Meyer (Ya.) school, where tho observers are given a six or eight months’ training in meteorology and army signaling, has been put on a thorough footing. Students are admitted only after passing a successful competitive examination. They go out as assistants to observers. Then if they develop capability they are ad- vonced when opportunity affords. There are three observations made at all signal stations daily and telegraphed to Washington, where the predictions are made up that are promulgated to the entire country. When a severe storm is raging special observations are taken, and the information thus obtained is furnished by telegraph to stations in advance of the storm and akely to be visited by it. The regular observations are taken at 7 a. m. 2 p. m., and 11 f. m., seventy- fifth meridian time. Half an hour later they are forwarded. The operators on aiA. I/AIC ceitrgto. f/LA dfcl/lluJiO AL.UVS YT-UlC.- ,«*o stations are grouped sit at their desks, all other business is tak in off tfie 1/iae, and the operator fanhe*! from Washington begins sending his report. All the other operators on the line take it. The next one sends; ail the others take that. When Washington has sent its report all the operators in the section have complete reports of observations at every station in their telegraph section. Time is saved in this manner, and still further cut down by a cypher system, one word of which often means a whole paragraph. The observations result in obtaining the pressure of the atmosphere as shown by a barometer adjusted to a common standard; the temperature by the thermometer; the atmosphere’s humidity by the hygrometer; the wind’s direction and velocity by a combination of windmill and weather vane that automatically records its findings on a. paper driven by clockwork; the rainfall as measured in a vessel on the roof, which has a surface equal to one square foot and a preparation against evaporation; the velocity, character and* direction of clouds. The usual birthplaces of storms are the Gulf of Mexico, the West Indies, aud Vamtoba. Their courses are directed somewhat eastward. This is accounted for by the fact that the earth revolves in that direction. Those emanating from Manitoba travel southeast over the great lakes and pass off to sea by way of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. ThOfee coming from the Gulf of Mexico, l enerally cyclones, pass up the Missis- ippi valley and out over Lakes Erie ad Ontario. They also go east over he Gulf of St. Lawrence. The West [ndian tornadoes travel northwest until .hey strike the South Atlantic coast, vhere they curve to the east, and, fol- owing the coast line up the gulf stream, inaliy strike the track of the Manitoba nd Gulf of Mexico zephyrs. New- ouudland’s favored people sometimes et storms from all three of these hatches at about the same time. They ever complain up there of not getting nough weather for their money. The Vest India storms are the most robust f all. The supposition as to the cause of iorms is that, for some unknown rea- )n, certain parts of the country are eated to a greater temperature than ffiers. Heavy evaporation is caused, id the atmosphere is laden with water irried up by the hot air, which is srhter than the air around it. The hot r passing upward creates a vacuum to which the cool rushes. The dis- irbance thus created in the atmosphere rcharged with the evaporation of the kes and rivers of the overheated dis- ict causes rainfall. The near approach a rain storm is heralded by an increase air pressure and humidity, and a ris- ng temperature. Knowing the direction >f a storm and its velocity and extent by he observations taken in the signal tation, and the general knowledge of torm9 possessed, accurate information ;an be furnished as to when a storm will reach a given point, how soon it will j APEltCHERON HORSE FARM. pass over, how great will be the rainfall and how violent Telegraph. the wind. —New York WH ERE THE JUMBO O?

D. handed it to E , in part payment of the $30 owed him. E. gave it to F., to apply on account of the $12.50 due him. F. passed it back to A., saying, “ This pays half of the amount I owe you.’*' A. again passed it to B., saying, “I now only owe you $5.” B. passed it again toC., with the remark, “This reduces my indebtedness to you to $10. C. again passed ft'to D., reducing his indebtedness to $5. D. paid it over to E., saying, “I now owe you $20.” E. handed it again to F., saying, “This reduces my indebtedness to you to $2.50.” Again F. handed the note to A., saving, “Now I don’t owe you anything.” A. passed it immediately to B., thus cancelling the balance of his indebtedness. B. handed it to C., reducing his indebtedness to $o. C. cancelled the balance of his debt to D., by handing the note to him. D. paid it again to E., saying, “I now owe you $15.” Then E. remarked to F., “If you will give me $2.50 this will settle my indebtedness to you.” F. took $2.50 from his pockefc.handed it to E., and returned the $5 note to his pocket, and thus the spell was Token, the single $5 note having paid $82.50, and cancelled A.’s debt to B.. C s debt to D., E’s debt to F., and F’s debt to A., and at the same time having reduced B’s debt to C. from $20 to $5, and D s debt to E. from $30 to $15. Moral. —“Here a little and there a little,” helps to pay off large scores. Money circulates from hand to hand and business moves.

A writer in tb«* '\‘^fw fl'oik Sun says that “the results of deep-sea dredging tend to show tiirtfc the ocean boLom, which has long been supposed to be in absolute darknets, is lighted by briiriant phosphorescence. I believe that if we could find ourselves upon the bed of the sea in 2,000 fathoms, we should see brilliant white lights, casting intense shadows, illuminating the bottom in an effectual manner. The groves of cou fore the spectator*' i Twenty five S inure Allies of Terra In Colorado Revoted to Raisin; Fine Draft Horses. A Denver (Col.) letter to the Chicag* Tribune describes the visit of a party of Eastern gentiemcn to the extensiv3 breeding ranches of the Percheroa Horse company. The party left the train at Dixon. Conveyances were h waiting, and the party were driven tm miles to one of the ranches of the company. These are six in number—five of them located on the plains a few mies to the south of the Burlington road, add the sixth in Elbert county, near Eli:a- beth station, on the Denver and Njw Orleans road. They cover an area of about twenty-five square miles, and on this vast range horseflesh is supreme tnd the Pcrcheron is the king. The drve across gave visitors an opportunity to get an idea of the extent of the donum owned by the company and the native grass upon which tlie stock is kept, m- mense stacks of hay showed that there was no danger of starvation sh'iulc a heavy snowfall cover the ground for my length of time. The fact was made known that never yet had this large reserve been drawn upon, and that as spring approached the hay had ®een marketed yearly, while the stock ftund jilenty of fresh, nutritious gmss -fer their consumption. But the ranch and its stables were reached, and the visitors were eager to see that portion of the stallions which are kept there. It must not be forgotten that this is only one of the six central stations of the company. Here in a number of roomy box-stalls the great, handsome fellows are kept. Each stall has a portion of ground outside for its occupant, wherein he reigns supreme. Each holds a stallion, some jet glossy black, dark mottled gray and some a lighter gray. These are the only colors. A bridle was thrown over their heads, and they were brought out to where they could be better seen. When one raised himself on his hind legs his head would tower high above the talljst giraffe, and the party admitted thal they were the Jumbos among the hors&s. From one point of interest to another the party passed, and, sooner than expected, lunch was announced. While the visitors were at lunch the men were out gathering in a bunch of horses. On they came, from over the rising ground, sad still they kept coming, until the corrals were nearly filled. Among them were sucklings, yearlings and twVyear- cAs, and the forms of the youngsters all showed strong marks of their Pereheron sires. These were prominent even among the quarter-blooded colts. As they Akih gathered in there was a better opportunity to examine them hseif arid see what the bum There of re so; handsome two-year-olds, an i the vounerer stock are in fine There are 3,400 Head ot horses company's ranges. Rosa Bcnhetr’s painting of “The Horse Fair” gives an idea of these Pereheron horses, but togee them in all thei; glory they nust be seen alive, that their motion ma/ add to the picture just as a photograph may be a portrait true in all its details of form and feature, but the spirit and motion are wanting to bring rctlity be- would shine with this light, shrimp and fishes would dart about, sceptre-like, over an illuminated pathway, each carrying his own lamp, and the whole ground would be one glowr of phosphorescent light. The bottom animals have eyes, and hence they have use for them, for nature supports no useless organ. One thing that is certain is that there is practically no glimmer of sunlight in these great abysmal depths; and unless we admit that there is some such light as I have mentioned, the presence of eyes cannot be explained. Certain animals retain phosphorescent lustre even after being brought to the surface, and it seems natural to conclude that in this way the ocean bottom is lighted. “The dredge comes up laden*with its precious load of deep-sea treasures, and the enthusiastic naturalists crowd around to explore the contents. Mixed up in a mass of mud are brilliant red starfishes, deep purple sea pods, delicate pink sea anemones, pure white holothurians, auU ugly black fishes, all peculiar in many res; cats. While the naturalists are busy getting the animals ready for us to see, let us take a bit^of the mud into the laboratory and examine it through the microscope. It will be found to be composed of countless numbers of microscopic shells, the testte of Foraminifera. They are usual y composed of carbonate of lime, but there are siliclous species also, and, in the shallower waters, sandy forms. Some are as smooth and glossy as the best glazed chinaware, showing beautiful concentric rings of different hues, while others rough and lobeu in a manner which defies description. Still others are the rao^t beautiful shade of pink, and some present in color a most delicate chocolate brown. We find them tubular, coiled, crown shaped, spherical, and oval, and in masses of lobes upon lobes.” The inquiry may arise why Peicheron horses are so specially desirable, and why should they be raised ia such quantities. Where is the demand for them, and to what uses are they especially requi ed? One visit to the breeding ranch will quickly furnish an answer to a host of such question^#. The Pereheron occupies the same reldL’on to the working horses that the _ fin(| hor- ough-bred does to the racing stock. Graded from the colossal thoroughbred of his species, and crossed with the native breed, the product gives a class of horses fitted for all work. For heavy hauling the pure blood, from their massive size, seem fitted to draw any thing that can be placed on wheels. The company sells no mares, but it is always ready to buy blood mares for its range. It retains all mare colts, and by constantly breeding it will gradually advance its vast herd toward the pure breed of Percherons. Five years hence its ranges will show great numbers of three-quarter stock, and in the mean time the lower grades will be marketed for carriages, transfer and other £ur- noses. ________ The four richest men in the worlJ. are said to be Mackay, of California, whose property is estimated at $275,00{X6CIP, Vanderbilt, of New York, $175,(Mh\0TO; Rothschild, $200,000,000, and the-Duke of Westminister, $86,000,000.

Ca- barrh is also dangerous, because it may lead to bronchitis or consumption. Being a blood disease the true method to cure is to purify the blood. To purify the blood take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, by which many sufferers from catarrh have been cured. “I suffered three years from catarrh, and my general health was poor in consequence. When I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla I found I had the right remedy. The catarrh is yielding, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla is cleansing my blood, and the general tone of my system is improving. My case i3 of such long standing that I did not expect to be cured in an instant.”— Frank Washburn, Rochester, N.

N AW E PAPER ' ni(*nester Aheitiieai to., i Madison S(j.,Phllada, |*r» SPILLS! TEMPERANCE TOPICS, A Common Character. He never did any good work in his life, He’s a man who from danger would shrink He’s always neglected his children and wife* And squandered his earnings in drink. Ignorant, selfish, uncultured is he, Yet people by whom he is known, Remark with a sigh, “What a man he would be If he’d only let liquor alone 1” —Boston Courier* The Little Crave. It was the day of the wine market; and not yet had the sun reached its full splendor. Will you not try to picture to yourselves, my friends, a lateral valley of the Rhine, lying amid fresh green meadows, and surrounded on all sides by mountain heights, showing up as dim, aspiring forests, in the glad sunshine resting above it all? If so, then you have Eberbach—only Eberbach without its real glow, since that you never can picture without seeing. “Please buy my flowers! my sweet, fresh flowers!” The voice was very young, ringing and musical, and at the sound thereof many turned, to discover only a little maiden of some ten or twelve summers, pacing back and forth beneath the walls of the lunatic asylum, which since the time I am telling of has been removed thence for lack of space to its hew site on the Eichberg. A basket of myrtle hung on the one arm, while in the hand of the other she held a bunch of the fragrant sprays, as though to tempt, as it were, the passer-by into buying her pretty merchandise. A young man passed; he was the son of the pastor of the Cloister church, Johann von Hohenburg by name; his face was good, clever and bright, and his blue eye sparkled with the fresh, sweet glory of the world—a glory which seemed to fall also upon little Gerba, the flower girl, as his gaze then rested upon her. “I’ll buy thy flowers, little one,” he said, gaily, taking the bunch from her hand and leaving in its stead a silver coin. “This is too much money, Herr Johann, unless you will take all my flowers,” faltered Gerba, holding out as she spoke the basket for his acceptance. “And they are too many, unless you take all the money I have”—and Johann clinked together a couple or so of stray coins which still remained in his pocket with such a comical air that the child laughed also, in a way which was truly refreshing after her pathetic sadness. Only for a moment, however, did this merry mood last ^^^^h^noxt^nnj^in^ who in company with angels had helped to build the same while men slept. “I want to say something, Herr Johann—something which I fear you scarce will like to hear.” The child’s voice faltered, and her blue eyes looked misty when she raised them to his. “Say on, child. I won’t be angry.” “Well, then, Herr Johann, I want to tell you what made my father unkind and bad, and what made him go away.’ She was sobbing a little, and yet she would have her say. “Years ago, Herr Johann, I have heard that he was once good and kind, as you” (her hand touches his fondly), “but he did what you have done to-day—he tasted of the wine at the market; and, Herr Johann, I hate wine, for when my father grew to liking it more and more, it made him wicked and my mother miserable. It was her tears, they eay, which drove him to leave us; but oh, it was the wine which brought the tears to her, and made me without a mother. And now,* Herr Johann, won’t you give up even the tasting, lest you should go on to worse, like him? Oh, do! for you have been kind to me, and if I can make you promise to do what is right, may not God give me back my father some day, and through him my dear mother,too? I have thought of it so much, and it seems that the dear God who is so just will give me him for another, if I can but keep one from the tempting evil. Be that one, Herr Johann, for I love you!” And in the evening glow the promise was given. * * * * * * Years and years after, in the graveyard of the Cloister church, an old worn-out man knelt, weeping bitter tears over a little grave—tears of repentance and regret. Strangely enough, an unseen hand had guided Johann, even at this late hour of life, to the haunts of Gerba’s miserable and debauched parent; to him he told the tale I have told you, with him he pleaded earnestly in his child’s name, who was dead and gone on before to a better land.—E. Searchjield, Coming. So I im watching quietly Every day! Wherever the sun shines brightly I rise and say, Surelj it is the shining of His face! And l*ok unto the gates of his high place Beyond the sea; For l 'cnow he is coming shortly To summon me. And ’when a shadow lalls across the window Of my room, Wherel am working my appointed task, I lift ny head to watch the door—and ask If He is come; And as -n angel answers sweetly In my home, “Only a few more shadows And he will come!” the religion which they discard for every privilege they enjoy, they may well hesitate a little before they seek to rob the Christion of bis hope and humanity of its faith in that Savior who alone has given to man that hope of life eternal which makes life tolerable and society possible, and robs death of its terror and the grave of its gloom.” *■ Without a rich heart wealth is an ugly beggar. RELIGIOUS READING. Corrupting the Voting by School - Books Bad enough is it to run risks on account of the vicious character of the light reading sought after so much by the young, without having wicked mischief in the course of study imposed by law. Every citizen is deeply interested in the course taken by commissioners and boards of education in providing schoolbooks bearing upon elementary physio- giaveTy™towanf'^^^^fey^ walls, quaint old window close by, she said with finger on lip, as though in mute reproach upon herself, “My mother is in there, Herr Johann, and folk say she will never come out again.” * ‘Poor child!” The word of sympathy dropped deeply down. “It was about father’s going away that she fretted so much, never sleeping day nor night, and so—and so—” “Yes, I know,” and taking the child’s hand Johann tried to lead her away. “Come, I’ll sell thy flowers,” he went on; and so together they passed into the busy market-square, where men sold wine3 and men bought, while those who did neither yet paused to drink (as though about to purchase) from the sellers’ ample goblet, which according to custom is presented to all. And Johann tasted with the rest, afterward chinking his stray bits of money, and then with a laugh and a jest going on to another, till in time a remote corner of the square was reached, where stood many of Johann’s friends, gay, rollicKing fellows like himself, and who, like himself, judging from their flush faces and excited talk, had also indulged in the “pearl of drinks.” “How now, Johann!” And then Johann, holding up his hand for silence, told them of the child’s bereavement, and of his having offered to prove salesman on her behalf. Oh, but they had kindly hearts, though in many cases their pockets were well nigh empty- one by one paid for a spray of flowers as he could, wherewith to adorn his button hole, one by one said some kindly words to the little girl in turn, although from many of them, as Johann felt, the child shrank back in fear and dislike. Now the little one had no hold upon Jchann-none whatever; therefore it was in very kindness, the kindness of a true, loving, and manly heart, that, leaving his friends to themselves, he led her away__away to the banks of the Peteis- bornchen, which flowing from the moun- tains downward, sheds beauty in its way till at last it loses itself utterly and gloriously in the Rhine river, wh.ch.with its tiny power it helps to swell. It was a day of fairy pleasure to little Gerba, to sit there while her companion told tales of the past, of the wild boar who had fixed the site of the ancient cloister, and anu A Bishop’s warning. Bishop Foster, of the Methodist Episcopal church, says the great dangers of the church are “assimilation to the world, neglect of the poor, substitution cf the form for the fact of godliness, abandonment of discipline, a hireling ministry, an impure gospel, which simmed up, is a fashionable church,” and then he adds, “Methodists shoald be liable to such an outcome, ^lu that should be signs of it in a hundred years from the ‘sail loft, seems almost the miracle of history; but who that looks about him to-day can fail to see the fact ? The Church of God is to-day courting the world. Its members are trying to bring it down to the level of the ungodly. The ball, the theatres, nude and lewd art, social luxuries, with all their loose moralities, are making inroads into the sacred inclosure Of the church, and as a satisfaction for all this worldliness Christians are making a great deal of Lent and Easter, and Good Friday aLty church ornamentation. It is the old trick of Satan. The Jewish church struck on that rock, the Romish church wrecked on the same, and the Protestant church is fast reaching the same d *om.” Mr. Towell on Christianity. One of ti e most serious antH*otable of the admirable after-dinner speeches that made Mr. Lowell so famous in England has only lately been published. It was called out by some allusions to the Christian religion made in the tone of genteel Skepticism quite common among the terary men of England. “Go around behind, sir, and git on; he’s an American horse, sir, and he hisn’t use to dem clothes yet; dey frighten him.”—Life, not evaded. To teach a child at school that the moderate use of alcohol is good as an invigorating beverage when the law makes the 'selling of liquor to that child a criminal offence; to prate about the moderate use of liquor when the country spends annually eight hundred and fifty millions of dollars for rum and about eighty-five millions for education; to teach that the use of alcohol can be of any real or comparative good to brain, muscle, or nerve, when the great daily press so reeks and teems with the record of crime and abomination wrought under the influence of alcohol as to make the ordinary newspaper no longer fit to come under the eye of a pure family and household- all this is to stultify all concerned.—Christian Advocate. Temperance Notes. A Japanese proverb says: “A man took a drink, 'the drink took a drink, and then the drink took the man.” A Tne Russian government has decided that liquors shall be retailed only in hotels and eating houses. As a result of this edict 90,000 vodka shops will be closed on January 1, 1886. The study of the drink question in Switzerland has disclosed the fact that the use of aleoliolic beverages is largest in those cantons in which wages ar® lowest, and the people are the poorest. Drunkeness tends to poverty and want; and then this state of things fosters th© drunkenness. Beer is more dangerous than whisky. That is the verdict of the Scientific American, which sets forth that the use of beer is found to produce a species of degeneration of all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished circulation, conditions of congestion and perversion of functional activities, local inflammations of both the liver and kidneys, are constantly present. A slight injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body or mind, will commonly provoke acute disease, ending fatally in a beer-drinker. Blue Ribbon beer, manufactured in Toronto, and claimed to be a temperance beverage, was tested a few day3 ago on two men, each of whom drank seven glasses in an hour and a half and then became drunk. The court thereupon decided that the stuff was intoxicating. V1» Aixi those enemas of the religion which ia at the very heart of all there is good in civilization, that “whatever defects or imperfections may attach to a few points of the doctrinal system of Calvin—the bilk of which was simply what all Christians believe—it will be found that^ Calvinism, or any other ism which Maims an open Bible and proclaims a crucified and risen Christ, is infinitely preferable to any form of polite and polished skepticism, which gathers as its votaries the degenerate sons of heroic ancestors, who, having been train®, in a society and educated in schools!the foundations of which were laid by men of faith and piety, now turn and kick down the ladder by which they have climbed up, and persuade men to live without God and die without hope.” “The worst kind of religion,” continued Mr. Lowell, “is no religion at and these men, living in ease and xury, indulging themselves in the amusement of going without religion, may be thankful that they live in lands where the gospel they neglect has tamed the beastliness or ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the South Sea Islanders, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides, like the monsters of the French Revolution. When the microscopic search of skepticism, which had hunted the heavens and sounded the seas to disprove the existence of a Creator, has turned its attention to human society, and have found a place on this planet ten miles square where a decent man can live in decency, comfort and security, supporting and educating his children unspoiled and unpolluted; a place where age is reverenced, infancy protected, manhood respected, womanhood honored, and human life held in due regard ; when skeptics can find such a place ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not gone and cleared the way and laid the foundations, and made decency and security possible, it will then be in order for the skeptical literati to move thither and there ventilate his views. But so long as these very men are dependent upon A Burrowing Bird. A more quiet picture is afforded by the hill where the auks brood, says Dr. Brehfh in an article on the “Social Habits of Arctic Birds,” published in the Popular Science Monthly. They resemble the eider-duck in shape, except that their bills are sharp and not flat, like those of tne latter, There are three species of them, which are distinguished from one another by the length of the bill and its curvature. All three species live and brood in the same places. I was told of a mountain where a million of them had built their nests. I am sure of one thing—that no man has ever seen a million birds, even though he has traveled over half the earth. Doubting the accounts, I visited the described mountain. rowed toward it, over the smooth, trans- i parent water, between beautiful islands, followed by the screeching of the startled gulls. High above us on a towering ridge we saw the watchful ospreys; by our side, on right and left, along the shore-cliffs, the sitting eider- ducks. Finally we came to the populous part of the mountain, which is from three hundred and twenty to there hundred and thirty feet high, and saw really immense numbers of birds sitting on the ridges. The higher parts of the cone were covered with a brown spoon- wort, and as we approached the shore the birds drew back thither, and suddenly disappeared from view as if by concerted agreement. When we had reached the shore and landed, and were wondering what had become of the hosts of birds, we found the ground burrowed all over with holes that looked like common rabbit holes. We soon learned that they were the entrances to the nest- chambers of the auks. The holes are large enough to permit the birds to pass through, and then widen on the inside so as to give room for the nest and the two birds. As we climbed toward the height, the tenants first carefully and anxiously peered at us, then slipped out and threw themselves screaming into the sea, which was soon covered, as far as the eye could reach, with birds whose cry resembled the noise of a gigantic surf or of a raging storm. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ * ITte Tall, Lank Man’s Scheme. The conductor asked ft tall, lank, bearded man for his ticket. “Hain’t got any,” replied the tall, lftnK man. “Where are you going?” “Chicager.” “ Seven thirty-five, please.” “But say, conductor, I hain’t got any money and I want you to de me a favor. If you will you’ll never regret it.

As the train pulled out the tall, lank man lifted his finger warningiy ahd exclaimed: “I’ll tap the great reservoir an’ turn it loose under your old railroad. I’ll buy Chicager and refuse to let ye run yer trains into the city. I’ll use you fellers for plugs to keep the heat from escapin’ when we happen to hev a supply on hand. “I’ll—” But the train rattled on and the words of the tall, lank man were lost am ong the rumble of the wheels. — Chicago Herald, A Proposal.

Description In 1874, Captain John Rich became the first white settler to arrive in the present-day DeLand, which was then known as Persimmon Hollow. After arriving in 1876, Henry Addison DeLand (1834-1908) began developing the area. The city was officially incorporated in 1882 and became the county seat of Volusia County in 1887. DeLand Academy, the first private college in Florida, was established by Henry DeLand in 1883. After a devastating freeze in 1885, many orange growers migrated away from the city, as did DeLand himself, leaving John Batterson Stetson (1830-1906) in charge of the academy, which was renamed John B. Stetson University (now Stetson University) in 1889. Stetson University was also the home of the first law school in Florida. DeLand flourished during the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s, but faced trouble during the land bust and the Great Depression.

Title The Florida Agriculturist, Vol. 10, No. 27, November 9, 1887 Alternative Title Florida Agriculturist, Vol. 10, No. 27 Subject DeLand (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Description The Florida Agriculturist issue published on November 9, 1887. The Florida Agriculturist began publication in 1878 with Christopher O. Codrington as its first editor. Codrington, who was from Jamaica, was an importer of exotic plants. The newspaper was published weekly through 1907, but changed to a monthly paper in 1908. The paper changed hands from Codrington to E. O. Painter by 1887. Painter had so much success with the paper that he was able to create a printing company: E. O. Painter Printing Company. The paper was directed towards the farmers and fruit and vegetable growers of Florida. The Florida Agriculturist discussed different places in Florida, especially DeLand and Jacksonville, that were the best to plant, and which fruits and plants were in season. The paper also offered railroad schedules. In the late 1800s, with a large influx of Chinese immigrants, the newspaper recommended these immigrants as farm laborers, for the purpose of replacing African-American laborers. In 1907, Painter sold the newspaper and it relocated to Jacksonville where it would last another four years eventually ending publication in 1911. Some of the topics discussed in this issue include an industrial cooperation, artificial fertilizers, the Florida Shippers Union, Roger LaRoque, the Haymarket Affair, packing for the poultry industry, the fate of anarchists for the Haymarket Affair, the role of women in the home, malaria and various other medical ailments, the use of cottonseed as fertilizer, broadcast harrowing,new city ordinanaces for DeLand, and the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida.

The interview is conducted by Rebecca Schwandt at Bettye Reagan’s home in Oviedo, er—Lake Mary, Florida… Reagan Mmhmm. Schwandt On April 2nd, 2015. Could you please state your full name and birth date for the record? Reagan Okay, Bettye Jean Reagan. Uh, January 27th, 1934. Uh, born actually in Sanford in the hospital, which I was the first one in my family to be born in the hospital. Everybody else had been born at home, [laughs] which was in Oviedo, and, um, that’s where I was raised. Schwandt And what is one of your earliest childhood memories? Reagan My earliest childhood memories was[sic]—we lived, uh—I don’t know the name of the road. It goes, uh—it goes beside the Lawton House—where the Lawton House, uh—there’s one that goes towards Winter Park and the other one that comes beside it. We lived down that road, across from where the [Oviedo High] School was. That was in a big ol’ two story house there, and one—I guess I’ll never forget this. When I was—we moved out of that house when I was six years old, but, uh, one day my little brother<a title="">[1]</a> and I decided to go for a walk out—and you went through the back—we had a—a garden and we had an orange grove. If you kep’ on goin’, there was a great big ditch there, you walked over, which was scary. We could go all the way to where the cemetery is today. It was there then, through the woods, and we decided we just go for—and we went, which we—unheard of. Today, it would be terrible they would have called the police [laughs], but—and we’re out there wandering around in—in the cemetery, and this lady, who knew who we were, came and got us and took us back home, and another time, we went down there, and—and I was gonna fix it so my brother, who’s two years younger than I am—he had to be—if I was six he had to be four—and I made him a fishing pole out of a stick, a piece of string, and I don’t know how I did it, but I took a straight pin and bent it. We got some bread and we tied that string on there, and we went down there to that ditch that we had to cross over, which is really what it was, but it had water in it—to fish, and my little brother fell in head first, and his—there—and his feet are sticking up and I pulled him out [laughs]. He’s covered with mud [laughs], but that was a sca—I used to have nightmares after that about that incident. It scared me so bad, and another time, at that same area, where my daddy<a title="">[2]</a> had planted all the strawberries, I took the bucket one day and I picked every strawberry in the patch, and they were all green, so we didn’t have strawberries that year [laughs]. That’s[sic] my first memories [laughs], but then, I swear I started school in first grade, and I got to go to school a year early. I went when I was five. My birthday was in January, but you were—but—and you weren’t supposed to go to school, but, uh, a man from Oviedo, Mr.—Mr. Gore, was a—on the school board, and, uh, his son was Frank—Frankie D. Gore, and he’s a school—well, I guess he’s not now, but he was a school teacher—grew up to be a school teacher. He got to go—his birthday was the same as mine was. So my Mama<a title="">[3]</a> said, “Well, if you[sic] can go to school—well, if he can go, you can go.” So they had to let me go. So I got to go to school when I was five and get out early, and those are some of the first things I remember [sniffs]. Schwandt And what kind of games did you play as a young child? Reagan We, you know—we made up our games. We did things—I guess we couldn’t say we—we, uh—I remember that, uh, we took the—we—We lived in another—we moved two more times, and we lived up where the—we were surrounded by orange groves, and every year, when they got ready to pick the oranges, they would come out and they would dump all the orange crates. If you know what an orange—old-fashioned orange box looks—it’s got a division in the middle and they would stack them, and we would make a great fort. Me and my brother would get out there and make this great big fort and, uh, play in that. Then, we would also fix a, uh—a little thing in the back yard and play storekeeper, and in those days, you—what you did with you garbage—you didn’t have garbage collection. You dug a great big hole in your backyard somewhere. you put all the—your trash that you had and we put it in the hole and then—and you tried to burn it, if you could, and then you’d fill the hole in, and then you dig another hole, but we would get anything that came in a carton, a box, and we would save all those and we would put them up on the table, and we would play like we had a store, and y—anybody came to the store, and we would pull the—we got in trouble for this—we pulled the leaves off the orange tree. That was our money. We made out like that was dollars, and we would do that, and we would, uh, play cops and robbers, and we—we would get a little saw, which my daddy had—we weren’t s’posed to use, and saw out little—just a little thing that look like a—a pistol, but of course, it wasn’t. It was just a little thing, and we would run around and chase each other, and then another time, we decided we would go find Indian mound[sic]. We had a wild imagination, I guess, and we went out with a shovel, and we found a little mound way away from the house. I don’t know how we got away with all that, and we would dig and dig. ‘Course, we never found anything [laughs], but we—but we spent a lot of time doing that sort of thing. We—you just came up with your own ideas, you know, but as far as havin’ a lot of toys, we didn’t, but we—we made, uh, treehouses. We’d climb a tree, and put boards up on it and climb up, and we didn’t really have a house, but we would put a couple boards up there—make out like we did. Or we would do another thing. We would cut off palmetto[sic]—big, uh, palmetto[sic] palms, you know, and we would put them around some trees, and we would have a little house, and that’s the kinda thing we did growin’ up, but as far as havin’ a lot of toys or anything, we didn’t. We didn’t do that. Not like today, and of course, there was no TV, of course, and you listened to the radio at night. That’s the only time you listen to it. Schwandt Do you remember any radio shows? Reagan Yes, uh, The Lone Ranger. Every—we always listened to The Lone Ranger, and, uh, something else came on. Um, cowboy show came on—another one. I can’t think of the name of that one. Trigger—who was<a title="">[4]</a>—he had the horse named Trigger? Uh, anyway, we—we did listen to those kind of sh—and then, uh, Grand Ole Opry came on Every Saturday night. We listened to that, uh, but—and everybody just sat around the radio.it was quiet and you listened to it. Schwandt Who were your childhood friends? Reagan Uh, some of the—the same people that I started out with in the first grade. I—they were still with me when I graduated [laughs], and I don’t know how many people were in the first grade, becau—but probably 20 or so, and, uh, when I graduated there were nine, but most of ‘em, I had started out with in the first grade, and, uh, some—a couple of ‘em lived close to me, and we would go to each other’s house n’ play, but—or, actually, a lot of times, we went to the school ground and play. They have swing sets there, and, uh, they had a field to play baseball and all that, and—and then, another thing, we had a cow, and—to get—for milk—and every day, my daddy would take that cow with a chain on it and go across the road to the school grounds [laughs], which had some woods on it—a little bit of woods, and he would stake the cow out there on—and the cow would eat the grass on the school ground, and then we’d bring it in every night, and that was—nobody thought there was anything wrong with that. That was just what you did, and it’s crazy. Things change so much, but today, you couldn’t think of doin’ something like that [laughs]. Another thing that we would do when we got a little bit older, um—where the school is, the railroad track ran right behind the school, and we would be watchin’ the ball game on Sunday afternoon, which everybody in town went, and there would be s—just a bunch of people get up a game—you know, choose up, and then they would play baseball, and everybody would be there to watch it, and these boys would figure out how to let… [clock chimes] Reagan Some of the air out of the tires on the car and get it on the railroad track, and they would—we would be sitting her watching the ball game and way out there past the field, there goes the car down the railroad track, and that was the highlight of the thing [laughs]—of the day. I don’t know how they did that. Sometimes, they’d get off and it’d go, “Bump, bump, bump, bump” down there too [laughs]. Oh. Schwandt Did you have any other animals besides the milk cow? Reagan Oh, yeah. Well, we had, uh—we had a dog. I had two dogs I’ll never forget. Uh, the first one we got—well[?], we—we got this white Spitz, and we had that dog for 14 years. His name was Troubles, and, uh, he—he was, uh, just a lifelong pet, and, uh, then one time, my daddy brought home a little, black puppy. Uh, when he was workin’ with—for Nelson and Company, which was Wheeler’s.<a title="">[5]</a> Uh, he was, uh, a man who checked the fruit. He was a fruit tester, and when they would go to pick oranges in the groves, he had all this equipment and he would, uh—slice the fruit and put the juice in, and he knew how to measure to see how much solid it had, how much sugar it had. They had to do that when they picked the oranges to know what kind of thing it was. Anyway, while he was—was gone one day, somebody gave him a little puppy. He brought it home, and we already had that other dog, and my mother said—and I thought it was my dog. It was my dog. Uh, I called her Black Beauty, ‘cause I had just read that book, Black Beauty, and I had that that dog for a couple weeks. My mother kept sayin’ all the time, “You can’t keep that dog. You can’t keep that dog.” Well, I kept it three or four months, and one day, I came home from school and the dog wasn’t there, and my mother had given it to somebody who was walkin’ by and saw it, and she asked if they wanted that dog. She—we couldn’t have two dogs. She gave my dog away, and I was very, very heartbroken [laughs] about that, but, uh, Anyway, we knew who had it and we used to go down and see the dog all the time, bum, but that was—that was the only pets we ever had was those two dogs and the cow, of course. [inaudible]. That was it. Schwandt How many siblings do you have? Reagan I had, uh—I had two sisters and two brothers, and I still have one sister and one brother. The others are all passed away. Schwandt And how did you get along with your siblings? Reagan Good. Well, there was a big, uh—there was seven years difference between my older—my older sister, <a title="">[6]</a> who’s here, and, uh, I had a—my older sister was 10 years older than me, and then [Alice] Kathryn [Aulin Bunch] was next to her, and then I had a brother<a title="">[7]</a>—was seven years older, and then there was me and my younger brother, who’s two years younger, who still lives in Oviedo, and, uh, so, we were, uh—my sister will be the first to tell you that me and my brother were spoiled, because we were younger, then there was seven years difference, and by the time we came along, we—we didn’t have to do all the work that they had to do, and she says we got by with a lot of stuff, which not true [laughs], but, uh, ‘cause they grew up and they left home. We were still at home, you know, for seven more years, but, uh—and[?] today she lives in so[?] close to me now. She used to live in Orlando most all her life and now she lives here. Schwandt What did you want to be when you grew up? Reagan Oh, I wanted to be, uh, a teacher, and I wanted to teach English and literature, which I loved, and, uh, P.E.,<a title="">[8]</a> and the reason I wanted to teach P.E.—one reason—cause I loved sports and all that. We used to have these girls in our P.E. class, which we would go, eh—different times of the year, you did different things. We had basketball. We actually didn’t have a lot of sports, but we played basketball and softball. That was the only two sports that girls played, and, uh—but those girls—so many of them were la—lazy, and they would just say, “Oh, um, you know, I’m havin’ my period and I can’t play,” and so they’d sit in the gym, you know, and just sit there and not do anything, and that wasn’t true. They[?] just lazy, and I always said, “One day I’ma be a P.E. teacher and nobody’s gonna be sitting in there on the bench, ‘cause I’m gonna give them a trashcan and they’re gonna walk around the school yard and pick up the trash, if they can’t do anything else.” That was my goal, but I didn’t get to do any of those things [laughs], ‘cause I didn’t get to go to college, as much as I wanted to, Uh, but, uh, it all turned out okay anyway, but that’s… I loved school. I loved school. I would go to school—as soon as I was old enough to be able to do this—the teachers always came to school in those days—two weeks before school, the teachers would be at school gettin’ their classrooms ready, and they always stayed for two weeks after school was out, and I would go to school and find my teacher that I was gonna have, and I would ask her what I would do to help her, and I would stay there, because I just loved going to school, and I was always not happy when school was out every year. I loved school. Schwandt What—you mentioned you wanted to be a—a[sic] English teacher. What were some of your favorite books? Reagan Oh, gee [laughs]. Uh, I remember Heidi, when I was little. Heidi, you know? if you ever read that book, and, uh, then, um—oh, after I got older, I remember books I read, but I can’t think of any right off the—oh, I’ll never forget, I’ma tell you a funny story about this book. We had this little book that somebody gave us on the life of Abraham Lincoln, and it was a child’s book. You know it had pictures of Lincoln and it was written so a child could understand. Well, you know when you get up in the high school, you got to write a book report. You gotta read a book every six weeks—well, we did then—and you gotta bi—write a book report on it and turn it in. Well, we had this book. I didn’t do this, but my brothers did. They got the Abraham Lincoln book, which you could read in 15 minutes if you were an adult, you know, and they would almost copy it word for word and turn that thing in for a book report, and got by with it, but I [laughs]—I always remembered that, but I used to, uh, uh—we had—in Oviedo, actually, they had, uh—we had a drugstore, which was the place. The number one place in Oviedo was the drugstore. They also had a section down there where they had like library books—new books that were written today, you know—modern books, and you could go check ‘em out, and, uh, I would go down there and check books out there, and I had a teacher, um, uh, her name was Miss Walker, and, uh, she got married later her name was Ms. Anderson, but she told me about these books and she would recommend a book for me to read, and I would go down to the drugstore and check it out and read those books, and then after I got married and had kids, eh, hardly had time to read, but every day when they took a nap after lunch, I would—I was a member of a book club and I would my—I’m still reading today. Schwandt Uh, in an earlier conversation you mentioned your mother was a seamstress. Reagan Yes. Schwandt Can you elaborate on some of the things she did[?]? Reagan Yes. Um, my mother, uh, was—oh, she—she packed oranges for 25 years for Nelson and Company. I remember that well, ‘cause we would go down there sometimes after s—we’d have to go down there and see her about something, but, um—but she also was a seamstress, and she learned to do this on her own. My mother came to Oviedo on the train from Sanford. She only got to go to school to the eighth grade, and she loved school. That was another thing. She lived over here in Sanford and she came out there to operate the telephone service—the—be the telephone operator, and, uh, that’s where she met my father, but, um, I don’t know when or how she learned to sew, because I know that she was young, uh—maybe 16, 17 years old then, when she came out there, and, uh, I never heard about her mother sewing so I—I—I didn’t ever know how she ever learned, but she was very good. She made all our clothes. Never had a bought dress. Never had anything bought, until one day she did get me a big coat. I have a picture. It’s in one of my books. That—it was a—really a store-bought coat. It looked like fur. It wasn’t, but it was—I—I—there’s a picture of me in that book in school, standing there in that big old coat [laughs], but she made, uh—she made all my clothes, and, uh—and my—my sister’s too, and she made—she sewed for other people. They would come to the house, uh, she made clothes for them too, but she made me a—something I’ll never forget—she made me a red coat. It was like a red, wool coat—bright red—and in the inside was satin lines. It was full-length, you know, like a—I was only about 10 years old, and I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I wanted to wear it to school, but she said, “No, that was to wear to church,” you know, that was special. I finally remember I got to wear it to school, but I never forgot that, and to this day, not too long ago, I learned a song that Dolly Parton wrote, my—Coat of Many Colors. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard—are familiar with that. Anyway, that always made me—we weren’t that hard up. It wasn’t made out of rags, like her coat was, but every time I heard that song, I think about my red coat that my mother made me. So that, uh, and she sewed everything, and then what happened years later—I always said—every night my mother would sit there by the sewing machine and sew, and we’d be sittin’ listenin’ to the radio, and she would sew ‘til late, and I said, “There’s one thing I’m never gonna to do. I am never gonna sew,” ‘cause I thought it was just too much work. Well, got married. my husband gives me a sewing machine for Christmas, plus lessons over in Orlando, so I’d go take lessons, and so I did that, and low ‘n’ behold, I—liked it, and I can—I made my kid’s clothes, and I have pictures—Easter pictures where everybody’s—even my little boys’ coats. we all had dresses that—just alike, and we all had hats and gloves, and we would go to church, and—I mean, some of them are little kids, and we got movies of all this, and we would go to church, and then—especially on Easter and Mother’s Day, we went to Morrison’s Cafeteria after church, the only time we ever went out to eat, and we would go there, and then we would go to Lake Eola in Orlando to the Easter parade, and go up on the platform at—at Lake Eola, and walk across there with our Easter outfits on, and the last thing I made was, uh,—my daughter—one of my daughters got married, and I made her, uh, all the dresses for that, and it was like a Southern Belle-type thing, and the wedding was here at our yard, and, uh, I made all the dresses for that, but I haven’t made—and I made all my kids little—they had a band, uh, that they played. They had guitars and all that, and we had—all of them played, but the—the four younger ones were playing in a little group that started out doin’ it for school, and it got—they got good, and we played it, eh, for Doctor’s Day, for Fourth of July. So I made them outfits alike, you know, vest-like things to wear for that, and that—I really enjoyed being able to do all that. It was neat [taps on table]. Schwandt Um, in an earlier conversation, you mention several different houses you moved to… Reagan Mmhmm. Schwandt Throughout the years. Uh, could you describe them? Reagan Yes, the first house we lived in, it was called “The West House,” ‘cause Mrs. West owned it—was the one—was across from the school, and then we moved—I’ll never forget that, because we didn’t have electricity at that house. We had lanterns, like oil lanterns, and, uh, Then I remember when we moved, and my mother was so excited, because that—the house we moved in is still there, and, uh, it’s—you go by the Lawton House and go on down, through that red light, up the hill, and it—it’s on the left. It sits up on top that hill there still. It’s funny—it doesn’t look near as big as it did, when I was growin’ up. Everything looks smaller, but, uh, we moved in that house, and—electricity, running water. We had—the house we lived in had a pump outside. You pumped the water and brought it in—before. Now, we had water. You turned the faucet on. You could take a bath in the bathtub. That was a big thing for us. That was our first time to do that, and, uh, so that was—we really liked that house, and my mother wanted to buy it. We didn’t—we were renting, and, uh, the lady sold it to somebody else, so we didn’t get to buy it. So we—we had to move. So we moved down back into town into an area that—the house is not there today, because it’s the parking lot of First Baptist Church [of Oviedo]—where the house was. It was real small, but then there were only—all my brothers and sisters—the older ones—Just me and my little brother were still home, so it was okay, ‘cause we just needed—and we actually slept on this sleeping porch—bunk beds. I slept on top and he slept on bottom, and then a lil’ later, when I got a little older, they moved me into the dining room, and they opened the couch up every night and slept on it [laughs], but, uh, that’s where we lived, until I left home, and—and then after my mother got sick, uh—she had a, um, Parkinson’s [Disease]. [clock chimes] Reagan And she stayed there as long as she could, and, uh—very independent person—very. Always wanted to take care of everything herself. Never wanted any charity from anybody—very independent, and, uh, so, um, she was nur—in the nursing home in Orlando—in Winter Park, and—and then eventually, she ran out of money, and she had to stay there, ‘cause she cou—and she still had her house, and, uh, she—she took the money, and sold the house, and used it to pay her hospital bill until. Schwandt Were there any community events that you would attend regularly? Reagan Uh, actually, very few, um, community events. Most everything centered around either school or church, and, uh, that[sic] was[sic] the activities for—and the other thing though, in the summertime—very important—the swimming pool. Oviedo had a pool. No—Sanford didn’t have one, Longwood didn’t have one, and there weren’t any in people’s homes, in those days. They didn’t do that, but there—Oviedo had a swimming pool—a good, big, record[?]-sized pool, and then they had a baby pool next to it. Everybody came from Sanford and everything out there. My daddy ran the pool, and so, every day in the summertime, we’d go to the pool. Every day, after lunch, you’d go to the pool, and then, also, they had a dance floor and an old juke—juke organ, you know, and, uh, so that was a very popular place people went, in the summertime. You’d go all the time, and, uh, that was very important part of our life in those days. That and—actually, we didn’t do much else. We rode our bikes a lot. That, we did. Uh, walked everywhere. We didn’t have a car. In fact, most—a lot of people didn’t, uh, and at—at school, there would be three—maybe—kids that drove a car to school, when they got in high school. The other cars belonged to the teachers, and these boys usually were from Slavia, and the reason they got to do that was—as soon as school was out they could go home and start workin’ out in the farms there, but, uh—and you walked everywhere. We walked all the way from my[?] house down to the pool, and the crazy part was, eh, we’d do it at night. I would be 15 years old, and I’d be walkin’ home with another friend, and she lived somewhere else, and she’s goin’ to her house and I’d wa—we’d walk all the way home in the dark at 10 o’clock at night. Nobody thought anything about it. Today, you wouldn’t do that at all. I wouldn’t think of letting my kids to do that, but in those days, it was not a problem, ’n you didn’t lock your door at our house. If you—Mama did decide to lock the door. The windows that went from the porch into the hou—[laughs] to the living room—all you had to do was raise it up and go in. I mean, anybody could com—there was—no one broke into houses. There was not any of that. You hardly ever heard of anybody stealing anything. That didn’t happen, in those days. You just didn’t have like we have today. Uh, it is so different. Everybody took care of everybody else, uh, but as far as, uh, entertainment and all, we rode our bikes to Lake Charm. That was a big thing. Get on your bike and ride out from Oviedo to Lake Charm—you know where that is—and ride around the lake. That was what we did. My brother would catch fish, and he’d sell it to the people that he went by there homes on his way home, and he stopped and sell his fish stock[?]. Yeah [taps on table]. Schwandt As I understand, you attended the First Baptist Church of Oviedo? ReaganRight. Schwandt Uh, what’re some memories of services or events? Reagan Uh, they had, uh, uh—like when you were real little, they had what they called Sunbeam Band, When you were little. I remember going to that, Sittin’ in the little red chairs, and learnin’, uh, little songs that I’ve never forgot. I could sing them for you to this day, and they learned them in Sunbeam Band, and then, as you got older, they had a girls’ organizin—organization called GAs—Girls’ Auxiliaries somethin’—and—and that was extra that you—so it gave you something else to go to, and you learned all kinds of scripture verses, and you learned so much, and then you got promoted up to another level, and all of that, and the boys had something called RAs—Royal Ambassadors—and they did that, and, uh, you had, uh, the Christmas program, and, uh, that was always a big thing every year—the Christmas program in our Church, And, you went to Church, uh, every Sunday morning and at—Sunday night, and that was what all the teenagers did. And then, uh, I’ll never forget this, uh—when—my mother would always say, “Come straight home from church.” This was where we lived, right—we lived next to the church almo—within a block of the church, and this was—I was a senior in high school, and, uh, this particular night, [inaudible] my friend—girlfriend lived right down the street from me, and these two boys ask us if we wanted to go for a ride, and, uh, I didn’t particularly want to go with this guy, but I knew she did, so I was going to help her out, and, um, we said, “Okay,” and I knew I was supposed to go home, but I didn’t. So we got in the car with them and we went from Oviedo out to Slavia. You know where that is? Turned down a little dirt road that’s now right where the, um, nursing home is out there. Now, there’s a dirt road that went down there, and got down there, and this guy’s gonna park, and I said, “Nope.” I said, “I want to go home.” So he was not happy. Meanwhile[?], this other couple’s in the back seat. So he takes off and tears down the road, and we get to the hard road—the road that goes to Winter Park today, and he instead—he goin’ too fast, and he turns and rolls the car. Rolled it over two or three times. I went through the windshield, landed on the—on the railroad track. The railroad track went by there, and the car—I looked and I was alright. The car is upside down, the wheels are still goin’ around [laughs], the lights are on. We had a friend that lived right down the road from there. They heard it, and they came up, and, uh—but in the meantime, a car with a lady in it from Oviedo came drivin' by. She saw the accident, and anyway, it scared them, because they didn’t know where—I wasn’t in the car. They thought maybe I was under the car, but I wasn’t, but the—I di—I lost my shoe—one of my shoes. Couldn’t find it, but anyway, this lady knew me, knew my parents, and she said, “I’ll take you home,” and this was about 10 ‘o clock at night. So I had to go home, and go in there and wake up my parents. They were already sleepin’—with one—the whole thing that was bothering me was the fact that I lost my shoe—couldn’t find it [laughs], ‘cause I didn’t have but one pair of loafers, you know, and I had to wear ‘em to school the next day. What am I gonna wear to school? Anyway, I had to tell her we—that had[?]—that happened, and I’ll never forget. It Totaled the car. Totaled it—messed it all up, and the—the guy who was driving—his—nobody got hurt really, luckily. I did have to go in a cou—I got dizzy in a couple days and I had to go over and get x-rayed, and I had a slight concussion, but that was never any more to that, and, uh—but anyway, I felt sorry for the boy that was driving the car, because his mother was pregnant, and they were—she had to have that car to go to the doctor in Sanford. So he was in big trouble. That was a memory I remember[?] [laughs] well. Anyway… Schwandt In a prior conversation, you mentioned the town’s doctor. Could you tell me any stories you have of him? Reagan The town doctor? Dr. Martin, yes. Dr. Martin was the town—and he did everything. He pulled teeth, and, you know, anybody got anything wrong with them. What you hardly ever—I—I don’t remember going to him, uh, eh, but just one time. um, my mother—I came—came in from somewhere, one time, and my daddy was washing dishes, and that was unheard of, ‘cause I had never seen him wash a dish in my life, or do anything in the kitchen, and he was washing dishes, and I said, “What is goin’ on?” I was a teenager, and, uh, he—my—my mother had been doin’ it, and there was a knife in the water and she had cut her hand real bad, and he had to take her over to Dr. Martin and get it sewed up, and I remember that, and then, another thing that happened, um—Dr. Martin and his wife, Miss—Mrs. Martin, were very active in our church. Mrs. Martin… [clock chimes] Reagan Taught Sunday school and all that. They—the—this doctor’s office was right next to the church, a little bit behind it—right next to it, and they had a bell out there by the office—doctor’s. The office was right by the home, and if somebody came while the doctor was in church, they would ring the bell and he would hear it, get up and go out of church, and One Sunday that happened. Somebody had done something to their leg, was layin’ on the back of a truck, with no sides on it—just a wooden back—and he goes over to take care of it, and he took that guy’s leg off—the rest of it, while everybody—Of course, as soon as we could get out of church, we all went runnin’ over to see what’s goin on, and we’re all standin’ around watchin’ Dr. Martin take a—saw this guy’s leg off, while he’s layin’ on the back of the truck [laughs]. Yeah, he was a character. Yup. Schwandt And also, um, in an earlier conversation a—about school, you mentioned, uh, the disciplinary actions of certain teachers. Reagan Yes. Schwandt What are some experiences that stuck out to you? Reagan Uh, well, I’m not gonna tell you that story I told you last time, ‘cause I don’t want to get in trouble about that one, but, uh, uh, most of my teachers, uh—it—I’ve always said this, and I’ve probably—you probably know this. Everybody does. You always have certain teachers that are really good teachers and you’ll never forget ‘em. I mean, they—I have—I can remember certain teachers that were just good, and then there were some that, you wonder why they’re doing this, you know, uh, but um, I—we had this one teacher and [clears throat] she was hard to get along with, and she wa—she never had a smile on her face. She was just real sharp, and is always getting on everybody for every little thing, and she taught the fourth grade, and I was getting older by then, you know, ‘cause all the grades, one through 12, went to same school. You walked down the hall and—and this was something that I—I was bad sometimes at—I must have been seventh grade, ‘cause junior high is really the bad time [laughs]. I—if you look at my—I have every report card, and I can—you could pick out the ones I had when I was in seventh and eighth grade, uh, and anyway, she was just always mean to the kids, I thought, and so, she left her door open. She’d be in there talkin’ and you can walk down the hall and you’d hear her or see her in there. So one day, when we were ki—talking out there on the—before you walk into the main building—on the porch, and, uh, so I said—there was a box—an old cardboard box out there, and I said, “I’ma walk down the hall. I’ma throw it in her room. See what happens.” So they bet me I wouldn’t do it, so I did it. I walked in, threw it in there, and ran on down the hall. She caught me, and she took me up to the office, and the principal there knew me, of course, and he knew that she—also that she was a little bit difficult to get along with, and all he did to me was—after she left, he said he’d take care of it, and, uh, he gave me a poem to learn. He says, “Now, just sit here and learn this poem, but don’t do that anymore,” [laughs] but we had some, uh—we had another teacher, who had been there for many years and taught my older si—you know, that was another thing. The teachers you got—they had already had your older sister, who was a brain. You know, you’re supposed to know as much as she did, and, uh, they always compared you, as you went down the kids, but, uh, we had this teacher, and she could be—she was a good teacher, but she—she didn’t really—I don’t think she had children of her own. I don’t think she ever had children, but she would do things that, uh, would hurt people. Like we had this one girl that lived across the railroad track—her home was right over there—and she’d walk to school across the railroad track every day. Nicest person in the world, and one day she did something, and this—this teacher criticized her so badly in front of the whole class, and the girl did not deserve it. She didn’t do anything. Oh, she was a little bit late, I think, and I think she was late, because the train was across the track, and she got all over her or bein’ late to class and made the girl cry, and she did that to another girl in my class, and I just—it just really—I never, ever forgot it. Even though she was a good teacher, she—she would ridicule students sometimes, and, uh, I thought that—and—and it was embarrassing for that student, in front of the other kids, uh, and so you just remember certain people for certain things, but most of my teachers were good. Reagan Oh, and I gotta tell you one more school story. Right next to the school, lived—there was some houses, and one of these houses was Mr. McCulley’s[sp] house. Charlie McCulley was my—I went to school, first grade through 12. I wish I knew if he was still livin’ today. I would love to see him. uh, but anyway, they had chickens—chicken yard, and one night, uh, some of the high school boys got Mr. McCulley’s chickens—three or four—and brought them over, and—and for some reason, we were able to get in and out of the school. I don’t know what it was, but they knew how to open—pick the lock or something, then go in there, and so, they got these chickens and they had this teacher that was a retired military. His name was Mr. Bayton[sp], and Mr. Bayton was vague. He shouldn’t have been teaching history. I mean, he was like—he didn’t even know the subject, you know, and he didn’t—nobody cared for him, but he was just kinda dumb, and so they put these chickens in his room and shut the door and left them in there [laughs] all night. The next day, he came to school and had all those chickens in there, and another time, they took somebody’s old “Model T,” and put it in the hall—put it in the hall, and every Halloween, they put a metal trashcan on top of the flagpole, upside down. Nobody ever figured out how they did it, but they—that was—you knew it would be there the next mornin’ [laughs]. Another thing though, when I went to school, what we did every day—they—they had the [American] flag, it stayed in the office, and they had certain people that did this, and they would take the flag out, unfold it, put it on the flagpole, and put the flag up, and that was—and if it rained, you ran out there and took the flag down. You never let the flag stay up there in the rain. You never let it stay up overnight. That was the way it was always. The whole time I was at school, it was that way. We always had what we called chapel every S—every Friday morning, everybody in the school went to the auditorium and there was a program. A lot of—once a month, you had a pastor of one of the churches came and talked, and it’d be a different one each time, and today, that could never happen. You always had the Pledge of Allegiance every morning before class, and you always said the Lord’s Prayer. You did those two the whole time I was in school. Now, things have changed. Schwandt I have read that, uh, Oviedo High did not become integrated until the 1960s. Growing up during segregation, do you recall any incidences where you recognized the separation of races? Reagan Oh, when I was growing up—I remember when integration started, ‘cause we were livin’ here, and I had kids in school, and I remember the first day, uh, that it—that the schools were integrated, and my kids were in high school, at that time, but back when—when I was growin’ up, it—everything was segregated. Blacks were—rode—if they got on the bus, they had to ride in, uh, like the—we had a bus that came from Orlando to Oviedo. It was called Orlando Transit, and if you got on the bus, all the black people had to sit in the back. They loaded back to front, but this was another thing. They did have buses that went—went out to get kids to go to my school, but blacks didn’t have a bus. They—they had to walk to school, and they lived past where I lived up on the hill that—what we called “The Negro Quarters.” they were called “The Quarters.” They lived—a lot of ‘em—there were different places, but there was a group down there. They walks by our house, and they had to walk all the way across town to the black school, and of course, there was—it was no—no integration at all, and, uh, it even, uh—it was just unheard of for, uh—for people to mix up, or—or even—they was[sic] just two separate entities, and, uh, it—gradually, it got better. I remember like when my daughter, who, uh, just passed away this last summer—when she was a senior in high school, she was yearbook editor, just like I was yearbook editor when I was in school, and, uh—but, uh—and the two years before that, we had integration. it started when my oldest son<a title="">[9]</a> was still in sch—still in school, and, um, so there were some black[sic] on her, uh, editor—on her, uh, staff to do the yearbook, and when they got ready to have the ye—the party, there was a big discussion about whose house they could have it at, because that meant black people—kids were gonna come. The same way with my daughter, uh—my younger daughter, Julie [Karin Reagan], who‘s a nurse, uh, now. Uh, when she was a cheerleader, uh, we had some black girls that were cheerleaders with her, and, uh, lot of people—it was hard for a lot of people to get used to that. They didn’t like it, and—but I remember I took ‘em, um, ‘cause the parents—the white girls’ parents worked too. I was a stay-at-home mom, and, uh, all the other parents of the cheerleaders worked, and so they never went to anything, and then every—the cheerleaders needed to go to cheerleading camp. I drove ‘em over there, picked ‘em up. I made their uniforms, and—and I took the black girls too, you know, and somebody would say, “Are[?]—are you gonna do that?” I’d say, “Yes,” and I can remember that, and then I remember when my oldest daughter—the one that was a yearbook editor—went to Miami, she trained at, uh, Jackson Borough School for Nursing, and she had to watch a[sic], uh, autopsy. They had this group[?]. they watched up looking down from this glass to watch it, and that was part of her nurses training, and it was a black girl they were an autopsy on, and she said, “You know, Mom, when you open up somebody, they’re the same on the inside as you are,” and she said, “A lot of people need to think about that,” and, you know—and that was just wha—what she figured out on her own, and I said, “That’s[?]—that’s right,” and right now, two or three doors down here, my best friend is a black girl who’s 50 years old, who was married to a white man, who just passed away, and she and I walk every—two days a week, and we have a ball. She is more fun than—anyway, uh, that is certainly not a problem today, but I remember when it was a very big problem. I can remember when the guy who was the—the de—the she—the, uh, constable or the police chief of Oviedo—the only—only one policeman—I can remember how he mistreated black people that he put in jail. He hit ‘em. He had a billy stick and I remember hearing how he hit ‘em in the head with that, and, you know—I mean, they were mistreated. They were bad. It was bad. I can remember some bad things that happened. I’m certainly glad that part is over. Uh, hopefully, it’s over. Schwandt What year did you graduate at Oviedo High School, and what was the graduation ceremony like? Reagan Uh, I—1951. Nine people in my graduatin’ class. In those days, you always had a—a baccalaureate service. I don’t know if they still—don’t still do that, but they always had a, uh—a, uh—and they had it at the school. It was just like a graduation thing, but They had it like a—on a—two or three days before graduation, you had baccalaureate, and they would, like, preach a sermon, or they would do a—it would be a talk on how you—to live your life and all that sort of thing, but it was a different, and every year, they’d have a different pa—we had a Methodist and a Baptist and a Lutheran ch—church. Those were the three main churches, and they would take turns, uh, doin’ the baccalaureate service. So you always had that first, and then you had graduation, and at the same time as grad—graduation night, you also—they gave out any awards that—now—now today, my kids—they have an award night for different things, but in the—they did all the awards the night of graduation, and, uh, I got—I’ll never forget this, because my older sister got a bunch. S when I came along, I did too, except… [clock chimes] Reagan One. She got one that I didn’t get, and my mother said—as soon as she walked out of that thing, the first thing she said was, “How come you didn’t the”—I forgot what it was—“American Legion Award” or somethin’. I said, “That’s alright. I got best all-around athlete award. My sister didn’t that,” [laughs] but I got the history award and, uh—and the, uh, leadership award. I forgot what—it’s another name for it, but, uh, I’ll never forget that. She didn’t know how come I didn’t get that one, so—but that—we had award’s night the same night, as we did that [taps on table]. That was about it. Schwandt And where did your life take you after high school? Reagan Uh, not very far. My whole thing was to leave Oviedo. Both of my sisters had left and went to work at a bank in Orlando. uh, my older sister went first and she got—she worked at Florida State—it was called Florida State Bank in Downtown Orlando, right down the middle of town, and then when my sister graduated, my ol—other sister had talked to ‘em and got her in the[?]—she worked in the bookkeeping department. So they both went to Orlando to work in the bank. Well, I didn’t want to work in the bank. What I wanted to do was to go to college, and I did not get to go, and Mr. [Thomas Willington] Lawton—T.W. Lawton—you’ve heard of the Lawtons? Uh, he was a cousin of ours, and, uh, he knew how much I wanted to go, and[?], uh, so I was supposed to go over to—with him, right? ‘Cause he—he drove to Sanford every, uh, day to work at the—down at the courthouse—was where his office was, and, uh, they were gonna have a test for scholarships. You could take these tests to try to get a scholarship to go to co—FSU.<a title="">[10]</a> In those days it was a women’s college,<a title="">[11]</a> and, uh, so I was all set to go. My principal had fixed it for me to go, ‘cause—‘cause I was valedictorian, and—and I was kinda’ smart, and I[?] thought I could pass—get maybe—maybe get a scholarship, and I was gonna go, and Mr. Lawton—and I was—and I already made arrangements with him. I didn’t tell my mother anything about it, ‘cause she had said, “We can’t afford to send you to college,” you know, “We don’t have the money,” uh, and—but so I thought, If I can get a scholarship, you know I can do this, and, uh, so doggonnit, if, uh, Mr.—somebody from sch—one of the teachers called and my mother answered the phone, and she said, “Well, tell Bettye when she goes tomorrow to take the scholarship test” —she didn’t know I was goin’. I didn’t tell her, and, uh—but Mr. Lawton knew, ‘cause I had already contacted him. He was goin’ take me, and so she says, “What is this all about?” And I told her. She said, “We can’t do that.” So she called Mr. Lawton and told him not to come—not to pick me up, ‘cause I couldn’t—even if I got it, it was just—they couldn’t afford all the stuff they still have to do for me to go, and he called back, and he said, “Listen. I will help her go. I will help her financially [inaudible],” but my mother would never take any money from anybody. So that, I did not get to do, but—so then, I get on the bus, after I get out of school and I [inaudible]—my senior year, I worked for—Mr. Teague, who was the principal, I worked in the office half a day every day, ‘cause I had all the subjects they had. I took [inaudible] instead of st—study hall, I took a subject. So there wasn’t[sic] any subjects left for me to take. So he asked me to be the school secretary, work in the office half—half a day, and I did that all that senior year, and tough—and then after I graduate, I’m—I’m goin’ to Orlando riding the bus, trying to walk around, find a job, which I hadn’t found. I come home one day, and my mother says, “Well, you got a job. I got you a job. Mr. Teague called and wanted to know if you wanted a full-time job being a school secretary.” Oh, jeeze. I wanted to leave. I wanted to get out of Oviedo, and go do somethin’ different. Reagan So I was home for a year, and then I got married and moved to Sanford, and then, uh, I was married for three years. I had—we built a house. City of Sanford would give you a lot—give you a lot, but you had to build a house within a year. We built the house. We cleared the lot. I can show you that house today. We built the house—I mean, laid the blocks, poured the floor, did the whole thing in one year. He<a title="">[12]</a> worked for the railroad and we did this when he wasn’t working. We built the house. We laid blocks—all that stuff—and we were able to move in within a year. it wasn’t finished, but we moved in, and, uh, anyway, he was, uh—I had two kids, and when I had a year-old baby<a title="">[13]</a> and a three-year-old son, <a title="">[14]</a> and he was killed, uh, in a train accident, working—he was a railroader—train accident, uh, and then, I met my husband<a title="">[15]</a>—I have today, uh—eight months later, which everybody thought was too soon [laughs], at church, and, uh, we’ve been married—we—we just celebrated, uh, Monday, our 58th wedding anniversary. So [taps on table] it worked [laughs], and we had four more kids.<a title="">[16]</a> That’s six. Schwandt After your first husband died, for those eight months, before you met your—how did you survive? Reagan Uh, well, uh, Social Security [Insurance], uh, and he had some insurance and, uh—the other thing though we had done—we had bought—borrowed money and bought, uh, I think it was 4,000 dollars—bought 80 acres—now, 80 acres in Osteen, uh, found a road that if you took it—took you all the way to Oak Hill. It was a back road. It goes through there. We bought 80 acres, and we got these cows from the dairy, and we were—we were raising cows out there. We were doin’ that too. So when he died, I had that 80 acres and about seven or eight cow, uh—calves. I had to go feed ‘em on a nipple bucket, and I was goin’ out there every day doing—in fact, that’s where I was when they came out and found me to tell me what had happened, and, uh, so anyway, uh, I had that when I married Don—he was in, uh, TV business—and, uh, so we—he went out there and got some more cows and played cowboy [laughs], and we had that, and we were eventually able to sell it for [$]16,000, which when—in those—that was a long time ago, back in the—we’re talkin’ about the [19]60s, and, uh—and we bought another five—bought 10 acres out here near the airport, and put our cows out there and we had that. Then we had a chance to buy this place, and, uh—we lived in town, and he had a really nice, big house. I mov—sold my house out there and moved into his house, and, uh—but we had a pool we added on to the house by the time we had a bunch of kids. We had to keep addin’ onto the house, and we had a pool, which was—new at those time[sic]. Not too many people had ‘em. So every day, I had not just my kids. I had everybody’s in the neighborhood’s kids at my house, and it got to be a zoo. I said, “We gotta move.” So he was out here fixin’ these people’s tel—television set, and he saw this place. He said—and they wanted—there was an old couple—they wanted to move into town. Well, we owned another house across the street that was a rental, and, uh, so they—we almost swapped ‘em, and Of course, we had to work on this one for a year to make it so we could—this—this, uh—this was outside the house. This wall was the outside, and that brick in that fireplace—there was a—fireplace right here. We chipped all the brick out of that. that’s the same brick that were[sic] in the fireplace, and we added this room, and we added another bathroom and put—what was a porch, we made that into bigger bedrooms, and we moved out here with six kids, and, uh, it’s been a great, great place to live, and then we got a lot o—I’ll show you my studio, before you go. It’s outside. Schwandt And how did you meet your—how did you meet Don, your second husband? Reagan My husband now? At, uh—it was a put-up job [laughs]. It really was. Um, he—he came here in the Navy, and, uh, he was—he got married and he was married. He was divorced, when I met him, um, and he was at the church. Anyway, One day, after my husband had passed away, I called. I had the two little kids, and I was still—I was going to church down there, but—and I had gone to church all my life, but I was so, you know—I was totally—I was just kinda’ down, and I called the—the church, and they said—the assistant pastor came out, and I told him—I said, “I’m goin’ to church, but I’m not gettin’ anything out of it.” I said, “I’m just not”—I was miserable, and he said, “You know what? You need to be—you don’t need to be sittin’ in a class, uh, with you kids anymore[?]. You need to be teaching class,” So he said, “We have seven year olds. We need a teacher for seven year olds. Would you”—and so I said, “Okay.” So I go—first Sunday, I go in this—we had 30-somethin’ seven year olds and there were four or five teachers. He was a teacher, and I was a teacher of Sunday school of seven year olds. They put us both in the same room with a little thing in between, and it didn’t take very long, and, uh, so we got—that’s where I met him—was there. We been together ever since [taps on table]. Schwandt What are some fond memories you have raising your children? Reagan Oh [taps on table], great memories, and the good part about it was we had a movie camera. Took movies of everything we did—every Christmas, every Thanksgiving, every birthday, all events. Oh, you should see our kids, going to Lake Eola, lined up where the flowers are, where all the little kids with—all the little girls had white gloves on, hats, frilly dresses. Boys had on ties and coats and—and, uh—gettin’ out of the car, going to church, [inaudible] watchin’ ‘em tryin’ to get in and out of the cars and all that, and, uh—and then going on vacations, camping. That was the only way you could go—take that many kids on vacation is to go camping, and that’s what we did. We went camping. We started up[?] in Florida, ended up in the mountains, and they still go camping to this day, but, uh—and then, I—I enjoyed my kids. Uh, I never missed a—any program that they were in, and, uh, of course when you got that many, they’re in different things, you know, uh, and that—and this one daughter—she tickled me, because if I was gonna have to go to school for, uh—drive a car for, uh, you know—take the kids somewhere—trip, or something—she would tell me—pick out what she wanted me to wear. She wanted you to look good, you know? [laughs] She would come in there and say, “Mom, this is what I want you to wear,” but, um, I really—and I never missed a PTA<a title="">[17]</a> meeting, and I remember going, and I have two or three kids in one school, and you went to each one of ‘em’s class, and I’m trying to go to all of ‘em’s class, and change classes and do this, but I always did—kept up with what was going on, and, uh—and they all did good in school—pretty good in school, and never really had any major problems with ‘em. Uh, all did school, all—all graduated good[sic], and, uh, have great memories, and then I have all these—and used to be the movies were on film, and then—‘till now. You know, now, it’s entirely different, but my daughter that—the one that you went to her house—she took those, and I dunno how long it took her, she’s finally—still got something to do, and put ‘em all on DVDs, and, uh—and we have ‘em all today. A lot of nice ones. We don’t have anything on TV we want to watch, we sit and watch the kids all growin’, when they were little all the way up. So that—we have those, and I—I tell ‘em today—I said, “Y’all have all these things on camera” [phone rings] Reagan “Now you need to be makin’ sure you—you have these things. Don’t just let it get taken off of there, ‘cause we have a record of everything. Y’all aren’t going to have that.” I’m just gonna let that go. [answering machine] Schwandt I understand that your great-grandfather Andrew Aulin[, Sr.] founded Oviedo. Reagan Right. Schwandt What are some stories about him or other founding families, like the Lawtons or Wheelers that you… Reagan Uh… Schwandt Remember being told? Reagan Well, he passed away before I was—was born, and, uh, the, uh—the way that, uh—he came down here—a lot of those people who were Swe—he was Swedish—came over here from Sweden, and he didn’t come the way so many people in this area did. The Sanford area is all—a lot of Swedes over here, and they came over, uh, to work the citrus groves, and the—and the people who owned the groves here would pay their way on the ship, if they’d come and work a year. That’s how a lot of them came, but he didn’t come that way. He came up at, um—on the East Coast in New York or somewhere like that, and he came down through Georgia, and then eventually, into down here, and, um, he, uh, uh—at first, Oviedo—the settlement was out on, uh, Lake Jessup, and they called it White’s Warf—was the name of it—little settlement, and then they sor—sort of moved into O—into what is Oviedo today, and, uh, he was one of ‘em that moved in there, and he became—he was the first postmaster, and they had to come up with a name, and, uh, he was—when they named it, and he was also a schoolteacher… [clock chimes] Reagan And he spoke ‘bout four or five languages. He was very smart, and the reason he named it O—it should be pronounced Oh-vee-ay-do—was he traveled, uh, before he came over here, and then he even went back over to Europe several times, and he had been to Oviedo, Spain, and he thought since Florida was a Spanish word, he thought we’d name it Oviedo, and he called it Oh-vee-ay-do, and at, uh, one time, it—it was—it was in Orange County. You know, that used to be all Orange County all this part of it, plus this was too, and—and it was, uh, uh… [train whistles] Reagan So then, he—and he opened a store. He had a store there also, and they—and I heard a, uh—different things people have written about him and said that they’d go in their store, and he’d be so intent on reading something. he was very intellectual, and he liked to read all the time—that they’d have to ma—make him quit reading to wait on him, ‘cause he was into that, and [inaudible] when he passed away, he didn’t have a lot of money, but what he had, he game to Rollins College. It was just starting, and he was one of the people that gave what he had to Rollins College, because he wanted to see that college be there. So he was—I wish I had known him. He was—I was—he gone before I came along, and his wife<a title="">[18]</a> was a Lawton. So that’s how we got involved with that, and, uh, then, it’s—it’s crazy, because when we started going through different history things, I found out that [inaudible] the Lees in Oviedo, which are—that’s all involved—the Lawtons, Lees, and the Wheelers—all [Lee] sisters all married those people. They were sisters and one married a Lawton,<a title="">[19]</a> one married a Lee[sic], and a Wheeler,<a title="">[20]</a> and all that, and, uh, so when—my—on my mother’s side, who came from Sanford, there were some Lees. Her sisters married the Lees, and—and I al—al—I asked a couple times—I said, “Ya’ll kin to the[?] Lees in Oviedo?” Said, “No, no.” Well, they are, uh—they got this book on the Jacobs family and I started reading it, and the Jacobs family, involved with both Lees there, Lee’s here. So way back, if you wanted to go by marriage things, my mother was actually—her people were ancestors with my father’s people, way back and by marriage, and I thought—I just found that out not too long ago, and I bet that they—I’ll tell ‘em. They don’t know it [laughs], but that was, uh—and, uh, another thing—when—when my husband—my first husband—he was Catholic, and, uh, when we—when he went and talked to my daddy about us getting married, and he said, “Well, there’s one thing I want you to do. I don’t care which church you go to, but both of you go to the same one,” because—and Oviedo’s known for that. The Lawtons and the Wheelers and the Lees—the Whe—Frank Wheeler—big in the Baptist church—his wife was big in the Methodist church. Same things with the Lawtons. One went—husband went to one church and the wife we—and my daddy said, “I don’t want to see any more of that.” You—but that was—was one of the things that they did out there too, but they were all related. Yup. Schwandt Do you have any family heirlooms that were passed down that you held on to? Reagan Uh, no, uh, I don’t. I have some pictures, but I don’t have any—anything else that—I wish I did, and that is why I[sic] makin’ a point to save everything that I have [laughs], and—Like that bell that’s—there’s a big bell hanging outside. That’s my husband’s family. His father had that bell on the farm in Mississippi, and we were able to get that, and he re—redid it and painted it and all and put it up there, but—but that’s one of the few things we have from his family, and, um, we—so our kids are—that’s the one thing—you don’t get rid of that. that stays in the family, you know, and it’s very, very—it’s made in 1800-somethin’ is what—the date is in it, but, um, no, uh, I don’t think there’s—there’s much left, uh, physical things, you know, um, just some pictures, which I try to keep up with, and I have pictures of my father and his father together, and, uh, things like that, but, uh, no, uh, I don’t—can’t think of any—any artifacts, really, that I have. Schwandt Is there anything you like—you’d like to cover that we haven’t addressed? Reagan No, uh, well, one thing I want to say about Oviedo today, is, uh—it must be a great place to live, because here a few years ago—well, quite a few years ago, when I was starting, uh—doing a lot of painting, and, uh, I—I did a whole thing—a lot of pic—paintings, uh, about Oviedo, and, uh, I went out there and just drove around, went down to where the pool used to be, which they covered it up. it’s not there anymore, but there’s a park down there—children’s park and things, and, uh—and I went down there to—just to take some pictures and look around, and there was[sic] some women down there playing with their kids, and, uh, I—I told them— I said, “Do you mind if I take some pictures?” ‘Cause I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I was going to do some series of paintings on Oviedo, and they said, “Yes.” it was okay, and—and I said, “Would you mind telling me”—‘cause they—they weren’t from there, and I said, “Why did you move here?” And they said, “Well, we researched before we moved”—they came from out of state—”And this just was the best place to move to raise your kids.” They checked it out. They said, “This is a very family-oriented town. They have a lot of things for kids, and it’s—it’s, you know—it’s just a very—it’s the ideal place to raise a family.” I thought, Well, that’s great. So then, I go to another place in Oviedo, another place like that. There’s some more families there. I asked the same question, got the same answer. I said, “Now, isn’t that amazing?” That—that’s sayin’ a lot for Oviedo. It is, and another thing—the Townhouse Restaurant—are you familiar with that? Which they’re fixin’ to move, you know? Schwandt Yeah. Reagan But, uh, we go out there every now and then just to eat there, but, uh, I remember when it wasn’t the Townhouse, and up above it, there used to be a doctor’s office above that place, but, uh, that corner there—the—the red light—the whole time I was re—growin’ up, that was the red light. the only one in town for many, many years, and I kinda hate to see ‘em do what they’re gonna do there, but that’s progress, and, uh—but, uh, I have very fond memories of Oviedo, but, you know, when you’re growing up, you always think somethin’s gonna be better somewhere else, but, uh, my daughter lives out there, and right down the road, you know, comin’ from—back to Oviedo from her house, there’s a new subdivision that’s called Aulin[‘s] Landing or something they’re building. That’s got the Aulin name in it. There’s just—new. They just started building it. So that’s something too, and of course, they got Aulin Avenue, you know, out there by the cemetery. So yeah, it’s a—good memories from Oviedo, and I need to get back out there, ‘cause I have—still have people out there that I know. Um, how are you—how—how much more are y’all doing? Do you have more people you’re going to interview? ‘Cause I know somebody would be good to interview [laughs]. Schwandt Oh, I’m sure other classes… Reagan Yeah. Schwandt Like I said, you know, which—which—every new semester, because we’re just… Reagan Uh huh. Schwandt To get as much… Reagan Right. Schwandt Of Central Florida’s history as possible. So… Reagan Mmhmm. Schwandt If you wanna… Reagan Uh, the Wards, uh—there’s a, uh—Bob Ward. Uh, his brothers passed away, but Bob Ward—Bob and Joanne Ward. I would recommend, uh, talking to—to them. Uh, they live out there close to where I lived, right across the street from the Wheeler House. The—we used to call Mrs. Wheeler—Mrs. B. F. —Frank Wheeler “The Queen,” and, uh—and she was like a queen, you know? She didn’t speak to you. You speak to—I’ll never forget. One time, since I’ve been—when—after I moved to—to, uh, Sanford, we had a drug store downtown called Tusta’s[?] Drugstore. In those days, it had a soda fountain. just like Oviedo had a soda fountain. Had a soda fountain in it, and I was down there one day, sittin’ in a booth, and, uh, Ms. Wheeler came by, and I recognized her and she recognized me, you know, and she walk right on by and didn’t speak, and goes on down and doggone, if every booth wasn’t full, of course, and so she comes back and then all of the sudden, she remembered who I was, ‘cause she needed a place to sit [laughs]. I thought that was—that was—that was pretty good. That was the way it was. They were a little bit—little bit that way—a little bit that way. Uh… Schwandt Well, thank you so much for your time. Reagan Mmhmm, you’re welcome.

Title Headstone of Private James Walter Grady at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial Alternative Title Headstone of James Walter Grady Subject World War II, 1939-1945 Army Veterans--Florida Cemeteries--Europe Description The headstone of Private James Walter Grady (1924-1945). A resident of Sanford, Florida, Grady was a private in the U.S. Army during World War II. He died during his service in France and is currently buried at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Dinozé, France. Grady is one of 85 Florida residents interned at Epinal. Grady was born to Meothel Grady and unknown mother. He worked as a farmhand in the Sanford area prior to his enlistment into the Army on September 1, 1943. Because he was an African American, Grady was assigned to a segregated unit of the 3126th Quartermaster Service Company. Prior to their deployment in France, the 3126th was stationed at Maindy Barracks in Cardiff, Wales. Grady died in France on April 5, 1945.

Live with us – And laugh and work and play, ‘Midst oranges and blossoms, And sunshine every day. HISTORY Site of Captain Maitland’s old ort built in the days of the Indian Wards. Settled some fifty years ago by a group of people who were so impressed by its charming and unusual natural scenery that no desire was felt to look further. Orange County has not been damaged by tropical storms within the memory of oldest inhabitants. LOCATION In Orange County, bordering the shores of the beautiful lake which bears its name. on the Black Bear Trail, State Highway No. 3, four miles north of Orlando (population, 31,000), considered one of the most up-to-date and progressive cities of Florida, and sixteen miles south of Sanford (population, 20,000), the heart of the celery belt and head of navigation on the St. Johns River. On main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad between Jacksonville and Tampa. Geographically, almost the center of the State. Within easy distance of both East and West Coasts. On the north shore of Lake Maitland, one of a group of lakes connected by enchanting natural canals, giving Access to three large hotels, and providing boating around thirty miles of shore line. DESCRIPTIVE AND RESIDENTIAL FEATURES A now rapidly growing town of some 600 inhabitants. Surrounded by and intermingled with 14 clear-water lakes. Almost constant summer breezes, making a delightful sum- mer temperature. Paved streets shaded by majestic oaks festooned with Spanish Moss. Large estates with wealth of tropical scenery. All the advantages of country life combined with city con- veniences. Congenial neighbors. Reasonable land prices. Moderate living expenses. Attractive home sites. Well-equipped public library, churches of several denom- inations. State bank, restaurants, garages and stores. Progressive town government. Fire company with automobile equipment. Town-planning and zoning commission under supervision of efficient engineer. Close proximity to Orlando with its large and well-stocked department stores, high-class hotels and theatres. EDUCATIONAL New public school with modern methods and equipment. One of the best high schools in the State, only two miles away at Winter Park, is avail- able for Maitland residents. Rollins College, Florida’s old- est institution of higher learn- ing, and one of the best small colleges in the country, is also located at Winter Park. INDUSTRIAL Four incoming and three out- going mails daily. Forty-five miles of R.F.D. Routes from Maitland post- office. Postal receipts increased 45 per cent in 1926 over 1925. Bus lines to all parts of State make regular schedules every day. Finest type of soil for citrus culture. 150,000 boxes of citrus fruit produced in 1925-26. Near distributive points. Plenty of good truck land. Local markets never overstocked with fresh vegetables. In midst of poultry raising center, which includes Orange and Seminole counties. Active Poultry Association assure cooperative buying and marketing. Land and climatic conditions particularly adaptable to fern growing, a new and most remunerative industry. RECREATION Numerous lakes provide the best of fishing, bathing and boating. Excellent hunting, both for large and small game, immedi- atley at hand. Within two miles of one of the finest golf courses in the State. Long stretches of well-paved road, unhampered by excessive traffic, making motoring a pleasure, and bringing distant places within easy reach.

Other points of interest within a day’s trip are Tampa, the Gandy Bridge, St. Peters- burg and the Gulf of Mexico, Silver Springs, noted for their beauty and remarkably clear water, and St. Augus- tine, the oldest city in the United States. FUTURE The future of Maitland, due to its admirable location, is definitely assured. Situated, as it is, upon one of the prin- cipal traffic arteries of Florida, it lies directly in the path of development, the trend of which is now plainly northward from Orlando. According to the present plan of the pro- posed Black Bear Trail, running from Montreal, Canada, to St. Petersburg, Florida, Maitland is the only town be- tween Sandford and Orlando to be on that highway. Orlando, in order to provide for its remarkably rapid growth and ex- pansion, must increasingly acquire additional territory, and It is only reasonable to predict that Maitland, with its beauty- ful grouping of lakes and other scenic features, is destined Within a short time to become the exclusive residential sec- tion of the parent city. With this thought in mind the pres- ent town administration has taken steps to plan the develop- ment and growth of the town along lines calculated to most nearly approach an ideal blending of the practical and the artistic.

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.

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 1928 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. 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.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869. In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and 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 leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually 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.

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 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.

Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Florida was first inhabited by Paleo-Indians as early as 14,000 years ago. By the 16th century, several distinct Native American tribes inhabited present-day Florida, primarily the Apalachee of the Panhandle, the Timucua of North and Central Florida), the Ais of the Central Atlantic Coast, the Tocobaga of the Tampa Bay area, the Calusa of Southwest Florida, and the Tequesta of the Southeast Florida. In 1513, Juan Ponce de León of Spain became the earliest known European explorer to arrive in Florida. During the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Spanish, French, and English pioneers settled various parts of the states, though not all settlement were successful. Most of the region was owned by Spain, until it was ceded to the United States via the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819. On March 3, 1845, Florida earned statehood. Florida was marred by nearly constant warfare with the Native Americans in the region, particularly with the Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. On January 10, 1861, Florida seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of American on January 20th. The state's participation in the Civil War revolved mostly around the transportation of goods via ships. On June 25, 1868, Florida regained its representation in Congress. During the Reconstruction period, Florida drafted a new state constitution, which included statues that effectively disenfranchised its African-American citizens, as well as many poor white citizens. Through much of its early history, Florida's economy relied heavily upon agriculture, especially citrus, cattle, sugarcane, tomatoes, and strawberries. Florida's tourism industry developed greatly with the economic prosperity of the 1920s. However, this was halted by devastating hurricanes in the second half of the decade, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression. The economy would not fully recover until manufacturing was stimulated by World War II. As of 2014, Florida was the third most populous state in the country. Contributor Humphrey, Daphne F.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869. In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and 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 leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually 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 of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869. In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and 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 leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually 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 of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Title Financiers Plan For Institution: New Sanford Bank May Be Organized Alternative Title New Sanford Bank May Be Organized Subject Sanford (Fla.) Banks and banking--Florida Description A newspaper article published by The Central Florida Press on June 20, 1930. The article describes rumors about the establishment of a new bank in the old First National Bank No. 2 Building, located at 101 East First Street in Sanford, Florida. According to the article, the bank would have a capital of $100,000 and a surplus of $30,000. Also known as Sanford's first skyscraper, the First National Bank Building was designed by Mowbray & Uffinger of New York. Construction began in 1922 using steel, limestone, brick, and tile. A major reason why masonry and steel was used in the construction of the building was in response to a fire that occurred in Sanford in 1887. Originating from a bakery in downtown, many of the surrounding buildings were destroyed because they were constructed out of wood. After the fire, commercial buildings were constructed either with bricks or masonry. The First National Bank remained in the building until 1929. The building has served as a home for several banks since 1938. Type Text Source Original newspaper article: "Financiers Plan For Institution: New Sanford Bank May Be Organized."

Description Chuluota is a derivative of "Chuluoto," the Creek word meaning "Isle of Pines," "Pine Island," "Land of Lakes and Pines," or "beautiful place." Many of Chuluota's earliest American settlers migrated from North Carolina following the American Civil War. The settlement was first laid out by Henry Flagler's Chuluota Land Company as a competitor town to Orlando. Chuluota's citrus industry suffered during the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, but the town was somewhat revived during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. Chuluota was again devastated by the Great Depression of the 1930s, but was revitalized during the 1950s and 1960s.

The church was officially founded two months later as Harmony Baptist Church on January 8, 1875. A log church was constructed about one mile east of Chuluota, near Lake Pickett. In 1883, church meetings were moved to a schoolhouse near the southern portion of Chuluota. A new church building was built and dedicated as Harmony Baptist Church of Chuluota, located at 201 Lake Mills Road, in 1888. The Sunday school was established on November 10, 1889. Construction for a new concrete building began in 1955 and was dedicated in 1956. An education wing was added in 1961. The church is now known as the First Baptist Church of Chuluota.

Maitland (Fla.) Orlando (Fla.) Winter Garden (Fla.) Winter Park (Fla.) Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Orange 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 1926, Orange County was hit by a hurricane and then by the stock market crash and Great Depression beginning in 1929. Central Florida recovered in the late 1930s and experienced steady growth until 1967. In 1971, Walt Disney World was completed, signaling the beginning of the transformation of the Greater Orlando area into one of the world's major tourist destinations. The citrus industry in the county peaked in the early 1970s, but many groves were destroyed by several freezes during the early 1980s.

Title Orange County's Sheriff's Book of Wanted Persons, 1882-1889 Alternative Title Wanted Persons in Orange County Subject Orange County (Fla.) Sheriffs--Florida Law enforcement--Florida Police--Florida Fugitives from justice--United States Warrants (Law)--United States Crime--Florida Description The Orange County book of wanted persons from 1882 to 1889, during the tenure of two sheriffs: Sheriff Thomas "Long Tom" Shine who served from January 27, 1877, until February 15, 1885, and Julias Caesar Anderson, who served until his death on January 20, 1901. Sheriff Anderson saw a very different Orange County than his predecessors, because railroads had doubled the local population in five years. While most of the wanted fugitives are from Central Florida, there were also warrants from across Florida. There were also warrants from different states, such as California, Alabama, New York, and Georgia. The reward prices varied from suspect to suspect, but most were within the range of 50 dollars, although some were as high as 450 dollars. While there are no more warrants issued from Florida after 1889, there were national warrants dating to 1897. This book was donated to the Museum of Seminole County History by Sheriff John Polk, who was the dean of Florida sheriffs from 1969 to 1990.

Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Rock music is uniquely American, emerging in the late 1940s and 1950s, with the influence of African-American blues, jazz, boogie woogie, and gospel, mixed with predominantly white country and Western swing music. This hybrid genre helped define a generation, breaking down color barriers in the South by merging African musical traditions with European instrumentation. The popularization of rock music coincided with the African-American Civil Rights Movement, which sought to end racial segregation and discrimination in the South. The sudden interest of white teens in black “race music” provoked a backlash among traditionalists and Americans found themselves in the middle of a “culture war.” The counterculture youth of the 1950s and 1960s rejected many of the mainstream cultural standards of their parents’ generation, especially in regards to race. During the First and Second Great Migration of the 20th century, African Americans and whites began living in closer proximity to one another, more so than ever before, resulting in both races emulating the other’s style in fashion, art, and music. Rock music influenced the language, attitudes, ideas, and trends of a generation. The genre continued to evolve, incorporating new elements with each subsequent decade. During the 1960s, the subgenres of folk rock, jazz rock, country rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, glam rock, and progressive rock emerged. Musicians in the 1970s and 1980s created punk rock, Southern rock, heavy metal, new wave, and alternative rock. By the 1990s, artist continued to expand the genre by creating rap rock, reggae rock, grunge, and indie rock. Florida has been at the heart of rock music and the “culture war” since the 1950s. The recording industry was actively making rock records in Tampa during the 1960s and in Miami during the 1970s. Gram Parsons, a native of Winter Haven, is credited as the father of the country rock movement of the late 1960s, and Southern rock emerged from Jacksonville during the 1970s and 1980s, with bands such as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Outlaws, and Molly Hatchet. These contributions played an integral part in the history of rock music.

I’m speaking with Mick Dolan at the Salem Media Group radio stations in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Thanks for speaking with me today, Mick. Dolan No problem. Cravero Uh, let’s just begin I guess with a little of your biography. Could you, uh, tell us a little about where you’re from originally and, uh, early kind of bio details? DolanI was found under a rock… Cravero [laughs]. Dolan About, uh 64 years ago. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan [laughs] Uh, my radio career started in, uh, Topeka, Kansas. I was, uh, at a station there. Then I went to Kansas City[, Missouri], spent a couple years there, and, uh, about five years in Louisville[, Kentucky], but, on July 28, uh, 1980, I came here, uh, and started at [W]DIZ[–FM 100.3]. So uh, 35 years—I’m celebrating my 35th, eh, on the radio here. Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan Uh, DIZ, uh, was a great radio station. It’s gone now. Uh, then I went on—took a break, got out of the, eh—the business completely, and about three or four years later, uh, somebody—I saw a friend at a—in line at the post office and she goes, “You know what? They’re looking for people over at WLOQ[-FM 107.7], the smooth jazz station.” So I said, “Eh.” I went over there—I actually interviewed for the promotions director job, but, uh, I didn’t get it. The program director says, “Hey, man, we need to get you back on the air here.” So they—they—we did a part-time job for a while. It worked into a full-time job. I was a morning host with another guy, Mark Taylor. Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan And, uh, then went to the nights, and then the station got sold. So [laughs] I’ve actually killed two radio stations in my career here, but, uh, after that, uh, took another little break and found a job here doing news and traffic now at, uh, the Salem [Salem Media Group] stations: WORL[-AM 660] and WBZW[–AM 1520]. So afternoon drive, man. I’m the news guy and the traffic guy. So, you know, what goes around comes around. Cravero [laughs] Dolan And, uh… Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan But, you know what? It—it is always beat working. Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan I’ve never, uh—you know, I—I never really wanted a real job. Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan I wanted to do what I liked to do, and isn’t that the whole reason? Uh, I mean, come on. If you can’t like what you’re doing, then what are you—what are you doing? So that’s what I tell people: “Always beats working.” Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan Let’s close that door. Cravero Alright [laughs]. Dolan That’s awful noise in here. Cravero [laughs]. Unidentified [inaudible]. Dolan We make a lot of noise here at Salem. Cravero [laughs] That’s okay. [door closes] Dolan Most of it’s good. Cravero Yeah [laughs]. Dolan Alright. Should I be looking at there? Or… Cravero Oh, no. Just—this works fine. Dolan Okay, alright, okay. Cravero That’s good. Um, yeah, I guess, uh—let’s see. Tell us a little about the, uh—the Baxter and Mark Show.<a title="">[1]</a> I noticed you—you sent us some photos of them, and, uh… Dolan Unbelievable. Cravero I read a little bit about, uh, the shock jock-era kind of thing. Uh… Dolan Yeah, that was before your time. Right? Cravero [laughs]. Dolan You young guys—I just don’t—well, uh, they were one of the best morning shows ever, and the thing that they did was they interacted with people. They—they’re not talking to ya. They’re getting ya—they had callers all the time. They were always pulling stunts and pranks and, uh, just [laughs]—just some amazing stuff on the radio, and, uh, unfortunately, uh, because the business is the business, uh, the management, uh, felt that, uh, after a while that they’d outlived, uh, you know, their—their run, and they replaced them with Ron and Ron—another good show—but, just kind of kicking them to the curb after five, six, seven years, that’s—that’s crazy, but, uh, they were not able to carry on the team. So they split up, and Mark Samansky died back in 2011, uh, and we try to do a, uh, reunion for him. I haven’t been able to do it the last couple of years. Uh, it’s kind of a—it’s a lot of work, but, uh, just in his memory, because he was such as talented guy. I mean, “Dr. Zonas” and, uh, you know, the [laughs]—“Opie Gets Nookie”, all these songs that they did that, uh, just—you—you know, they would take a song—a popular song—and—and, uh—and change it around a little bit and—and make a funny out of it, and, you know, it’s such[?], uh—the wake-up calls were legendary. Uh, they were doing this stuff before anybody else did. So they were—they were true groundbreakers. They really were, and Baxter’s still around. He’s up in, uh, Washington D.C. He’s doing voice work, but, um, you know, he’s the kind of guy who just anything in radio. I mean, he can do the commercials, he’s—he was an operations guy. Uh, he was really the—he sort of kept them on the ground [laughs]. [inaudible]. Samansky was out of his mind, so they worked so well together. It was a great show, but, uh, long live Baxter and Mark. You can still see them, uh—I can’t think of the—it’s—it’s Baxterradio.com. He’s got a bunch of their old bits. Uh, one of my favorites ev—ever was Mr. Bradley. This was an old black guy that thought he was calling the radio station to win Michael Jackson tickets, and they [laughs]—they turned that poor boy every which way. They recorded the bit and then later would split it, you know, chop it up. They could make him say anything. It was the most unbelievable thing, and they got—I don’t know how many bits they did. It wa—you know, every once in a while Mr. Bradley would call, and, uh, so you know—it just—stuff like that that was just epic. Unbelievable [laughs], but, anyway, we’ve got the memories. Uh, and, you know, it’s hard to believe that radio station went away—it’ll be 20 years next year. 1996. Uh, Clear Channel bought them, turned them into soft rock, and then they went to Spanish and then, uh—I don’t know. what is it now? I—I don’t know, but, I—I think it’s still Spanish, and—but, uh, it was pretty amazing. That’s the way radio is. Nothing ever stays the same. Well, that’s an—any media it’s like, uh, it’s always changing, and you’ve got to stay one step ahead, and, uh, quite frankly that—that—that’s[sic] has been a problem. I haven’t been able to do that [laughs], but, you know, it’s hard to be a 64 year old disc jockey in rock radio, and, uh, I can—I can still bring a lot to the table, but, it—it is what it is—what it is. Cravero When you talked about, uh, you know, Clear Channel in ’96, buying out a lot of the… Dolan [inaudible]. Cravero The radio stations, yeah. Dolan 104. Uh, that’s—that was—these were all free standing radio stations, ‘cause back then, you could only own an AM and an FM [clears throat]. That was it. Now, I think it’s like seven total, uh, you can own. So you’ve got three companies that dominate the market here: Cox [Media Group], uh, Clear Channel, and, uh inaudible what is it? CBS [Columbia Broadcasting System], I think. I’m not sure. Maybe they call it something else. I have no idea, but those three guys dominate, uh, still, and, you know, it’s what deregulation did. Can’t win them all. Put a lot of good people out of work, I can tell you that, and, uh, is the quality of radio any better? [buzzer noise] I don’t think so. No, no. I mean what [W]MMO[-FM 98.9] does, what [W]JRR[-FM 101.1] does—they do what they do. That’s good, but it just doesn’t have the soul. It doesn’t have the heart that—that we had back in the day, because those guys are doing a bunch of other jobs. You don’t just do radio. When I was hired back in the day, I—I mean, in my case I was promotions director, too, and—and, uh—so I did that, as well as be on the air, and I was also the production director. I had three jobs there, but really, most people just did one—you were on the air. You did your four hour shift and you were done. It’s like, “Wow.” What a job that is. Not anymore. Now, uh, you gotta pay the piper. So anyway, business has changed. You can’t win them all [laughs]. Cravero What was the, uh—the Orlando music scene like, uh, when you first came and—and kind of had, you know—how did it evolve? Dolan Uh, it—it—it was—it blew up in the ‘80s. I mean, uh, there was a rock club on every corner. Point After [Tom’s Point After], Fern Park Station, Plus 3 Lounge, uh, gosh, the ABC Lounges were doing live music, uh, and I’m, uh—I’m forgetting a bunch of others, but, uh, you know, it was—it was fun. I mean, you could—and it didn’t hurt that I lived like two blocks from Fern Park Station, and my car knew the way home. So I had no problems there, but it was just a fun time. It was kind of an innocent time. It was anything goes. It was back when you could get away with stuff, and—and now you’ve got laws. So uh, it—it was just a really special time and there was—there were booking agents that—oh, my god—Ricky Young and Steve, uh, Brewton— “Brewster” Brewton—uh, these—Steve Peck. These guys—Earl Tennent—these guys made big money booking bands. Now, the clubs don’t want to pay for it. That’s the—that’s the problem. The clubs don’t want to pay for their entertainment. Plus, everybody think he can be a rock star, and so there’s a million bands out there, and there’s some good bands. You’re in a good band.<a title="">[2]</a> So [laughs] where’s the outlet? How do you guys make money? I should be asking you that. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan Uh, so it—it’s—it was real special, and then I think just a combination of the economy just kind of went another direction and, you know, the deregulation of—of radio, and, uh, I—I think that just—it really hurt, and now, there’s still clubs out there—there’s still—you can still hear a good band, but, they’re not making any money. Uh, it’s too bad, but they’re just not. So… Cravero Do you have any, uh—any favorites? Like local bands from the ‘80s, or ‘90s, or… Dolan Oh, then there re was the Bobby Friss Band, and Stranger, and Foreign Legion, and, uh, uh—in fact, Stranger Band, uh, they lost a couple of people. They lost their guitar player.<a title="">[3]</a> He, uh, passed, uh, years ago, and then their drummer, uh, [John] “J.P.” [Price], recently had, uh—he had cancer or something, but—so they’re all getting old and dying, but Greg Billings was in that band. He still has his band, the Greg Billings Band. So—but, those were special bands. Uh, oh, I don’t know. I—I—I can’t—there’s a million of them. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan I can’t remember any of them right now, but, uh, those bands were able to make a living and have a lot of fun. You know, back in—opening up for Van Halen and, you know, things like that. So they were big, uh, but, it’s all gone now. There was a band called Sons of Doctors [laughs]. That was great too. They were a little bit later—late ‘80s—but, uh, Angelo Jannotti, those guys—they’re still around, you know? So, uh, it—it—it was a special time. It really was. Cravero What about, um—I read a little about the Rock Super Bowls they did… Dolan Oh. Cravero At the Citrus Bowl. Dolan Epic, epic. Unbelievable. I came from Louisville in 1980, and it was funny, because they—those big stadium shows were just starting back, you know, late ‘70s, early ‘80s, and I had seen, uh, ZZ Top and, uh, Lynyrd Skynyrd, uh, in—in Louisville, and that same show that had Bob Seger, and they came that [clears throat]—that summer. So I—I caught them there too, but those Super Bowl[s], they—they had big name acts, every one of them, and I think that fell victim to the times, as well. The people—the bands, who are big and popular, they want too much money, and—and a show like that, you just couldn’t put it together, uh, like they—they could then. Uh, then, of course, there was The [Rolling] Stones and The Who, and, uh, Stones came back—I did not see that show. I wanted to, but I missed it, and, uh—well, because I had to pay now. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan [laughs] I didn’t have to pay back then, and I ain’t going to pay hundreds of dollars. I’m sorry. I love the band, but uh-uh. I’ve got better things to do with that money. I shouldn’t say that. I probably shot myself in the foot, but that’s alright. It’s only rock and roll. So uh—but those—that was a community thing, man, and the memories, and—and again, what you can get away with. It’s like—it’s crazy. It was all good, and you—you talk to anybody who’s been around a while and you mention Rock Super Bowls, and they’re going to go, “Oh, oh, I remember that one, yeah.” Ted Nugent, uh—it was pretty cool. Very nice, but I don’t think they could pull that off now. You just can’t do that. It would have to be part of a tour, and—and I know there’s tours like that, but—but not in that environment. I mean, it’s just something else, and the—and the Citrus Bowl wasn’t even that big back then. They still put 50,000 in there. So, you know, promoters made a lot of money. Everybody was happy, and the tickets—I don’t know—I—those Super Bowl tickets probably weren’t more than 20 dollars. Oh, my god. How—can you imagine that? You know, those were the days. It is. Cravero Yeah, did you, uh, have any interesting, uh, stories about being backstage at any of them? Dolan [laughs]. Cravero [laughs] That you can share. Dolan That I can talk about today? Cravero [laughs]. Dolan One of my favorites was, uh, uh, David Lee Roth of Van Halen and—because I got to do an interview with him, and, you know, it—those days it wasn’t, you know, wireless—there wasn’t any of that, but—so I recorded it on a cassette player, and we took a bus over there to see him. It was in Lakeland[, Florida], and, uh—that’s where—that’s where the concerts were—was Lakeland Civic Center. There was no Orlando Arena. There was no Amway Center. There was nothing. So you had to go to Lakeland to see a show, and the same for Tampa. So the—the two converged—the markets converged there, and—and it was kind of cool because backstage you’d see the Tampa radio guys and, you know, it was a kind of a family, but, uh, David Lee Roth was out of his mind. Took over the interview. I mean—I—he was interviewing me. So I had that and I—I played it for the people on the bus back home, uh—on the way back, and it was just epic. Uh, I had a—I’ll tell you the worst interview I ever had was George Thorogood. Guy was a total asshole. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan I’m sorry. He was. Great music. Love the guy. [cell phone beeps] Dolan Couldn’t believe that—that—but, he was obnoxious, he was making fun of radio, he was, you know, uh, dissing on everybody… [cell phone beeps] Dolan And it was like, “What?” You know, “Hey, man, I’m sorry. I’m trying to help you. I’m doing this for you as much as for me.” So just left a really bad taste in my mouth, but, uh, um—and then, you know, I got to be onstage for The Who. I got to bring on The B-52’s. They opened for The Who, and [laughs] that was the punk rock scene there, and that was—they were considered, you know, new wave. Uh, that was, uh [makes sound]—the rock guys did not like—they were booed[sic] ‘em. They were throwing stuff onstage. I’m bringing them on and I dodge a can—a Converse [Chuck Taylor] All Star [shoe] that—a red one. I’ll never forget it. So I dodged that one, brought on the band. They lasted maybe three songs, and while I was onstage, the other Converse All Star—the other red one—came flying up on the stage. So they only lasted three songs and walked off and I can’t blame them, but, uh [laughs] there’s just—just epic stuff like that, but, uh, there’s no—I mean, you can’t even describe what it’s like to be out on that stage in front of 50,000 people, and when you speak, there’s a delay. There’s like a half to a full second delay. So you’re hearing, you know—that’s very—that’s hard to get used to, but, you know, the—the—the—the experience was just unbelievable. Great stuff. Cravero That’s cool. Dolan Yeah. Cravero [laughs]. Cravero I read also you did, uh,—you, uh—CMT’s [Country Music Television], uh—they did like a fantasy camp? Dolan Yeah, Camp Nashville [laughs]. Cravero What was that? Dolan My—my friend and I, Lee Bailey, who was a promoter himself—in fact, he was of the only guys to lose money on Larry the Cable Guy,<a title="">[4]</a> if you can believe that, uh, and—so he had some bad luck, but, uh, we—we were trying to do, uh—it was patterned after Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, uh, which is hugely successful. I—and what the concept is: you gather musicians, you pay to be a camper, and, you know, they jam with you, they teach you some stuff, they have sessions. You know, it’s all—it’s very cool. Very cool concept. Well, we thought we could do it and we went to Nashville and, uh, found out that it was a little harder than we thought, and so it never even got off the ground. Uh, we—we had—we opened it, uh, we were taking camper, you know, registrations, but, uh, just didn’t have the money or the contacts to—to make it happen, and I still think it’s a good idea, but we just couldn’t pull it off. So, uh—I like all kinds of music. I mean, I’ve worked rock and smooth jazz, always, you know, news and traffic, but, I like country. Uh, I’m not real fond of rap, but, uh—I mean, every music has something in it, and every music—Americana? uh, I mean, come on. Bon Iver? I like that guy.<a title="">[5]</a> I think that guy is talented, uh, but—but, you know, I don’t know all of the new music. I—I don’t know how anybody keeps up with it. There’s just so much out there, and so much that’s never heard by, you know, anybody but the real fans. Uh, so I depend on my two, uh, sons to keep me up on that. Dolan But, uh, it’s—it’s just a great—a great career, if you can find your niche. That’s the whole key, and you’ve got to remember that it changes every day [laughs] practically, and so uh, be ready to move, you know? Cravero Well, I know you’ve got a show to get to. Dolan Yeah, man. Cravero So, uh… Dolan The news and traffic never stops. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan And there’s plenty to do, but, uh, let’s make sure—yeah, I’m good. Cravero Alright. Dolan Okay, but, uh, you know—just in closing, it—it—it’s so good to be remembered, I think, in a positive way, and I just try to be myself and—and try to connect, try to—I mean, I love people, and—and that’s what you have to have. You have to have that empathy for your audience, and, uh—onstage, as well. Uh, I love to do onstage, love to bring bands on. I—I just brought, uh—uh—uh, Blandini—Jeff Blando was an old rocker. It’s—he’s still around, and, uh, you know, played with, uh, uh, uh, Slaughter and, uh, I can’t think of it. Anyway—but—but he—he’s got his own band, Blandini. I just brought him on. It’s a new place called Paradise Cove in Seminole County, right by the river. Man, it’s got a pool, boat slips—you can pull your boat right up, uh, and so my friend, uh, Randy—he’s—he’s got that, uh, place, and so you know, I still do that all the time. I’ll bring—I love these—especially these bands that have been around for a while and are still doing it, and it’s like, hey. You know, one relic introduces the others. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan Right? So it—it’s just—it’s—it beats working always, and I appreciate you coming by and talking to me [laughs]. Cravero I appreciate you talking to us, Mick. Thanks a lot. Dolan And get the word out. We’re still here. Cravero [laughs]. Dolan [laughs]. Cravero Will do. Dolan Okay. Cravero Alright, man. Thanks. Dolan Thank you.

Transcript THE MATLAND NEWS Published Weekly by THE MATLAND NEws Co, MATLAND, ORANGE County, FLORIDA Volume I JUNE , 1926 NUMBER 5 Council Votes to Erect Municipal Building WRECKING OF PRESENT TOWN HALL CLOSES CHAPTER IN LOCAL HISTORY Plans for a municipal building to provide engine house and jail on the first floor with a council chamber above were accepted by the Council at their last meeting and the building committee authorized to commence work immediately. The building is to be placed at the back of the lot where the old town hall stood, leaving space opposite the park for a more pretentious building to be put up later on. Plans offered by Charles B. War terhouse for a complete city hall, em bodying all the features of an uptodate municipal building, were rejected as being too ambitious an undertaking at the present time. With the completion of the wrecko ing of the present town hall, which is already well under way, and the final cleaning up of the town proper. ty, the last of the land marks will be gone and all the old buildings will be cleared away. Most prominent among these was the old hall, built in the early eighties and shown on the first plat of Mait. land filed in 1885. George Horatio Packwood, who built this hall and filed the plat, on leaving Maitland bought forty acres of land where the Tampa Bay Hotel now stands, includ ing a quarter mile along the Bay Shore, for around 1,200.00. This he platted, naming the streets the same as those in the Maitland plat, and he now occupies a mansion on the Bay Shore Boulevard on a sixty foot lot for which he refused 200,000.00 last winter. This hall was built with two stores on the first floor, one of which was used as a railroad station when the railroad first went through, a hall for a skating rink, with a stage on the second floor, and rooms above for the first Masonic Lodge in this section of Florida, where the leading citizens of Orlando, Sanford and Lake County came together. The building was later bought by S. B. Hill and the lower floor fitted up for a packing house for the Florida Citrus Exchange, of which Mr. Hill was the first president. After the Exchange left it was used as a private packing house and the hall upstairs was used for com: munity entertainments until the pres: ent school house provided a more at: tractive gathering place. Next to the old hall stood the Adams packing house, built by Frank Adams and used by him as a pack. ing house and fertilizer warehouse, and further on was a building, used for similar purposes, which originally stood on the north side of Horatio Avenue, where it formed a ware. house between the railroad and the store building of E. Turner, recently moved away and used for the past few years as a rooming house for the American Fruit Growers. The store, occupied until its demoli• tion last fall, by J. A. Brown, was used first as a store and later housed the first library in Maitland, established by Mrs. L. F. Dommerich. At one time it was owned by Mr. S. Mills Ely, brother of Miss Mary C. Ely, who remodeled it and rented it out for small business enterprises, after which it was bought by S. B. Hill, who occupied it as a store until he sold out to J. A. Brown. The passing of this group of build. ings, built when Maitland was young and which have survived beyond the period of their usefulness marks the beginning of a new era of growth and prosperity in Maitland. TOWN PARK BEING IMPROVED The town authorities have sown a cover crop through the parks around Lily Lake, north of the Library and the central park. This will give a green covering through the summer and will be turmed under later, providing necessary humus for the soil. A number of trees and shrubs have been planted in the central park and further improvements will be made as soon as water is available. Harry R. Brewer left Thursday for Guilford, Conn., after spending the winter here at the home of Forrest B. Stone. ACTION ON BUILDING CODE IS At the last meeting of the Council, F. T. Marsh was appointed building, plumbing and electrical inspector. This action was taken on the recome mendation of the Zoning Commission. Mr. Marsh, who has held similar po sitions in the north, has been of great assistance in drawing up the building code recently adopted by the Council. This code as well as the plumbing code is substantially the same as the Orlando code, except for a few modifications due to local conditions. At the last meeting it was also voted to adopt rules and regulations governo ing electrical wiring and construction which have been adopted by Winter Park, with the exception that the license fee shall be 25.00 and the bond 1,000.00. Building and plumbing fees have also been established and anyone intending to build should in form himself on these regulations and make application to the building in spector in sufficient time to prevent delay in starting his building. GREENWOOD GARDEN NOTES Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Coudert and family moved last week into their new home in Greenwood Gardens. Mr. A. B. Rowland, who has been associated with the Maitland Realty Company as accountant for the past three months, has bought the old Parker house in Greenwood Gardens. The house has been moved onto a lot on Maitland Avenue, and is benig remodeled. Mr. Rowland hopes to have the work completed so that he will be able to occupy the house when Mrs. Rowland and the children reach Maitland the latter part of this month. Mrs. Rowland will remain in West. field, New Jersey until the close of school. Mr. Calvin Hill has bought a lot in Greenwood Gardens on the corner of Maitland Avenue and Marion Way, where he expects to build a residence in the near future. 2] THE MAITLAND NEWS MATLAND, Florida Published Weekly by THE MATLAND News Company.

Advertising Rates on Application AGE AND BEAUTY With the removal of the old buildings around the station we bid fare. well to the village period of our his tory and enter into a new phase, typified by the paving of streets, the installation of water, the beautification of parks, and, we trust, the develop. ment of an individual and suitable style of architecture. These old buildings, well constructed, carefully built, in their day objects of pride to builders and owners alike, have been for many years blots on the beauty of our town. This was so not only because they have been allowed to fall into dilapidation, but because they were not originally suit. ed to their surroundings. In some countries buildings increase in beauty as they blend into their settings and become a part of the beauty of the scenery. But in Florida there has been until lately no typical style of architecture. In the old days builders brought from New England and other parts of the north the style of architecture to which they were accustomed but which was entirely unsuited to Southern conditions of cli. mate and scenery. Now, however, we need not make these mistakes. A style of architecture is growing up, beautiful in itself, substantial and breathing the spirit of the Southland. Can we not, as we THE MAITLAND NEWS rebuild our town, strive to have all the construction, whether of residence, business or public buildings harmoni. ous, fitting and beautiful, so that our town may conform in architecture to the high standard set by its founders in laying out shady streets and conserving and emphasizing the beauties already here, and thus become the true beauty spot of central Florida?

SPAIN, Cashier THE MAITLAND NEWS AN INTRODUCTION This is an introduction to a series of articles which, it is hoped, will prove of general interest to the read. ers of this newspaper. I have thought that, to those who are not acquainted with the business and conduct of banks and banking, a series of short talks with this subject will be welcomed as a means of bring: ing home to you the widespread serve ice that almost any bank offers to its depositors, and give you some idea of the tremendous scope and widespread activities of present day banking. We are all more or less familiar with the general idea of a bank, or that side of it with which we come in contact when we make a deposit, cash a check, or negotiate a loan. How n know of the many interesting , nga at go on behind the cage? When a check on sonic other bank is deposited where does it go, what does it go through, and how d es it get to its destination? Where loes the bank get the new money they all - try to have, whence comes all the silver and gold, where does all the dirty and mutilated currency go, and what becomes of it All of the above and many other interesting things will be explained in this column, and it is hoped that the explanation of the varied services and internal workings of a bank will bring this bank and its customers to a closer understanding, and foster a mutual friendship, understanding and trust, all of which are necessary in order that this institution can grow and develop with the Town of Maitland, and render to the town the service to which it is entitled, but which cannot be given without the full cooperation of all. BANK OF MAITLAND A Local Bank for Local People LOCAL ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. E. D.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869. In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and 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 leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually 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 of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Title Sanford Collection Description The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state. Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon. The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869. In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and 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 leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually 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 of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

I’m interviews— interviewing Mr. Gene Kruckemyer in his office at University of Central Florida about his involvement with the [UCF] Public History Center and the Student Museum [and Center for Social Studies]. When did you first move to Sanford[, Florida]? Kruckemyer I moved to Sanford in 2004. So I’ve lived within view of the museum for the past eight years. I can see it from my front porch. Kaczmarek Nice, and where are you originally from? Kruckemyer From Orlando. Kaczmarek Oh, Orlando. Okay, and what brought you specifically to Sanford? Kruckemyer Uh, back in 2004, when with a succession of three hurricanes coming through Central Florida. Uh, the first hurricane came—we had purchased a house in Sanford as an investment actually, and we weren’t going to move there, but, uh, the first hurricane came and knocked our power out in Orlando. Uh, we had the house in Sanford. It had power. We decided to just move up there until everything was okay back in Orlando, and then two more hurricanes came, and did the same thing, and we just finally decided to stay in Stan—in Sanford, uh, because we enjoyed living there. We enjoyed the town. We enjoyed the people. Kaczmarek Nice[?], and, um, you worked at The Sanford Herald for a while? Kruckemyer Currently, uh, I’m at the University’s News and Information office. I’m the news editor. Previous—previous three years, I was the publisher of The Sanford Herald, and for the 33 years before that, I worked at The Orlando Sentinel. Kaczmarek Oh, okay, Um, and what did you do at The Sanford Herald? Kruckemyer I was a publisher. Kaczmarek Publisher? Okay. Kruckemyer Which is—which is basically the, you know, CEO [chief executive officer] of the newspaper. Making sure all the different departments worked together and… Kaczmarek And how did you first learn about the Student Museum? Kruckemyer Well, it was—in my time as publisher at The Herald, uh, while living right across the park from it. I, uh—I couldn’t avoid it, but—but the issues that were coming to the museum were that, uh—it was during a critical time, while I was the publisher, that—that the school—the Seminole [County Public] School[s] Board was considering closing the building down, because of economic reasons, and, uh, people in town and the county—the whole county—got involved and started creating committees to preserve the building, and that’s how The Herald got involved, and, uh, one of the things that we did was to, um, uh, redo the school bell that had not been used for decades. The building was built in 1902, and, uh, it was first used as a—as a, uh, senior high school.1 Uh, I think, in 1911, it became a, uh—a grammar school.2 And it was that until 1984, when it was put on the [U.S.] National Register for Historic Places, and it was turned to the Seminole County, uh, Student Museum—or actually they called it—it had a longer name like—you probably know what it is. It had like—it was the, um—uh, the Student Museum and Center for the Social Studies, but most people just called it the Student Museum, and it was a place where fourth graders go to learn Florida history, and it was a hands-on, uh, interpretive museum for other people come in during the week and learn different things about local history, and Florida history and, the native, uh, Floridians, uh, pioneers—a demonstration garden in the back show what people used to grow in the 20th, uh—at the turn of the 20th century. So it’s an interesting place. Kaczmarek And how did you get specifically involved with the bell? Kruckemyer Um, I did a column one time. Uh, it was a Q&A with the building. I asked building questions and answered questions, and, uh, I talked to a friend of mine in Sanford—her name is Bette Skates—and she was student at the, uh—uh, I think she was there when it was a grammar school, and, uh, she said she wished that bell would be, you know—able to be rung again. It hadn’t been rung in decades. Nobody knows why it stopped being used, but, uh, in 1916, the building got electricity, so they put in an electric bell. Sometime after that, they stopped using the bell, which had a, uh—a pull cord that went from the bell tower to the principal’s office, but the—but the hole was blocked off, so it wasn’t used, and I was talking to Bette, and she said she sure wished that bell would be able to be used again. So, uh, I thought that’d be a good project for The Sanford Herald. We, uh—we decided to make it work. So I talked with the then superintendent, whose name is Bill Vogel, and, uh, we—we figured out how much it was going to cost, and, uh, I had, uh—I contacted a friend of mine in Sanford—his name is Steve Meyers[sp]. He’s a[sic] historic preservationist and he does construction work, and—and, uh, he and I went up one day and he did all the work, and I was the gopher[?], and I ran his errands, and he made a new channel for the rope and put a marine-grade rope up there, and, uh, now it goes to the principal’s office, and every year they use the bell on the first day of school to signal the start of school for each year. Kaczmarek Wow. Um, and what was—you talked a little bit about the process of restoration. Um, what was the community, um, reaction to you this project? Kruckemyer Well, you can imagine, a lot of people that, uh, went to school there over the years had a—had a soft spot for the building. So, uh, they were objecting to the plans to either close the school on purpose, or just let it fade away, you know? Uh, so a lot of people formed committees to, uh, preserve the building. Um, uh, they raised money different ways. They had sales. I think—I think they still have periodic garage sale, at least until I think UCF [University of Central Florida] took over. They used to have periodic garage sales to help, you know offset the costs, ‘cause the school board was in some dire financial problems, because of the economy. So they didn’t have the money for it, but, uh, at least the community groups kept it going long enough, until UCF thankfully came in and, uh—and leased the building to use it for the Public History Center. Kaczmarek And, um—let’s see. Are you—what—what other projects were you involved with the museum, if any? Kruckemyer Um, that was—that’s pretty much, uh—as far as The Sanford Herald—I mean, uh, that’s pretty much right there in my neighborhood. Kaczmarek [laughs]. Kruckemyer So, uh, I’m sorta a—a watchdog to see if there’s anything that needs to be reported. That’s been going on so the only thing. Kaczmarek And, how are you involved with the Public History Center now? Kruckemyer Um, I’ve been to several of the events that have been there. Kaczmarek [laughs]. Kruckemyer They just had the, uh, Pumpkin Fest, and I was there on the opening day of school, and, uh, there was another event recently I went to, um… Kaczmarek The open house? Kruckemyer The open house. Kaczmarek And, you’ve lived in Sanford for—since 2004. Um, have you seen a lot of changes within the community of Sanford, since the time you’ve lived there? Kruckemyer Um, I—I live in the historic district, and the museum, er—the Public History Center was in the museum—in the—in the, uh, historic district. So we live in an area that doesn’t see as much change as a lot of places, uh, because there are[sic] a lot of restrictions of what you can and can’t do, but I don’t mind. I moved into the neighborhood not even knowing that was the case, and I think that history’s—or the, uh, historic district is one of the things that’s really saved Sanford, because people got interest in preserving the neighborhood, preserving the houses, preserving the way things used to be, and that’s something I enjoy. Kaczmarek Nice. Um, and when you said you worked at The Herald, what would—what would you say would be one of your more memorable experiences with The Herald? I know The Herald goes back and it’s a part of Sanford and that it’s been around for a long time. Um, what would you say would be one of your most memorable experiences as working at the smaller paper—as compared to The Sentinel—is? Kruckemyer Well, um, in my time there, I—I always maintained that the community papers were going to be the ones to survive, because, um, bigger papers—they carry a lot of things that you can get online at a hundred different sources. The things that are in a community paper are only in the community paper, and one of my goals was to—to make sure that we could provide to the community with what—what, uh—what they needed to know, and people seemed to respond. We did all kinds of, uh, reader interactive things and, uh, contests, and—and, uh, I started something called the “Centennial Forum,” which was, uh, like, uh, every edition. We’d have an, uh, opinion piece written by somebody from our, uh, town. We had all kinds of people running for supervisor of elections to, um, handymen, to teachers, to just everybody. So that was something that got a lot of positive response, and, uh, it worked so well that once I came here, I sorta, uh, hijacked that idea. Brought it to the university, and we started a similar thing called “UCF Forum,” and, uh, every Wednesday, we have an opinion piece by somebody that’s on our panel. We had nine people on the panel and they’d rotate, and, uh, so the, uh, opinion piece runs on the UCF website every Wednesday. Kaczmarek Very nice, and now, you said you had a column about—with the museum. What—can you tell me a little bit about that? Kruckemyer Uh, the original one was a column I wrote when I was at The Sentinel, and, uh, that was the one where I had the Q&A, where I talked about the building. Kaczmarek Yes. Kruckemyer And they asked how old it was, you know, and its interest and its favorite movies—that sort of thing [laughs]. Kaczmarek [laughs] And what were its answers? [laughs]. Kruckemyer [sighs] Oh, um, I don’t remember offhand. I know I asked about relatives, and it said it had relatives all over the world, like the Louvre, the Smithsonian [Institution], and… Kaczmarek [laughs] And how would you describe the community of Sanford to someone that doesn’t, like, know Sanford? Kruckemyer Uh, as I said, I moved 8 years ago, and, uh, it’s not as congested as Orlando is. Uh, it’s—it’s a community that I enjoy. In fact, they’re undergoing, uh, a program right now called Imagine Sanford [Community Vision and Strategic Planning]. It’s a, uh, group that’s been called together, and I’m on the committee to do that. Um, so we’re just looking to see what’s Sanford wants to be like within the next 10, 20, 30 years. What are the things we value? What are the things we want to improve? What are the things we want to change? Uh, so this something that we’re undergoing right now, and, uh, hopefully by next May, we’ll have a report to, uh, give to the [Sanford] City Commission to—to tell what we think should be done.

The interview was conducted by MacKenzie See at the [UCF] Public History Center on Augu—er, on October 8th of 2012. Interview topics include experience with the Sanford Student Museum [and Center for the Social Studies] and Public History Center. Okay. Um, what is your name? Fisher My name is Serena Parks Fisher. See Um, and what is your occupation? Fisher My occupation is dilettante. In other words, I’m a retired teacher and I now do things that I enjoy doing. A little of this and a little of that. See Um, and how long have you lived in the Sanford[, Florida] area? Fisher I don’t live—well, it depends on what you consider the Sanford area. I do not live in Sanford, but I have lived in Seminole County since 1978. See Okay, um, how did you become involved with the Public History Center and what is your role here? Fisher Okay, uh, um, I’m a little confused about you asking me about the Public History Center, because, uh, my involvement with the Public History Center came as a result of my involvement with the Seminole County Public School[s’] Student Museum, and I was involved with the Student Museum. First, as a social studies teacher in the school district. At the time the museum was created, I was hearing about it, etc., and at that point, every school was asked to submit a display that gave information about their school. Now, that would have been during the time period of [19]85-‘86 and so forth. Um, then as time went on, I left the social studies classroom, and went into a media center at a middle school, and again, I would hear about groups going to the Student Museum, and then later, I became, uh, the social studies resource teacher for the district, and then from that position, had the opportunity to become the museum specialist, which was the teaching position at the Student Museum, and as such, I was the teacher, curator, what—whatever, and so, uh, I retired in 2000 and went about my merry way just being a volunteer at the Student Museum, until there was a crisis regarding the restoration of the building, and there was some, um, controversy regarding that, and so I was involved as a member of the restoration committee, and then that morphed into, uh, UCF [University of Central Florida] having the agreement with the school district and the Public History Center, and I must say that I could not be more delighted about this relationship between the University of Central Florida Public History Center and what, uh, has taken place with the school district, because I feel now that the Student Museum—Public History Center—will be achieving the goal that it originally was intended to achieve. See Um, in what ways do you feel that the Student Museum is important to the community? Fisher Well, I feel that the Public History Center and the Student Museum is important to the community—just the building itself. One of the few remaining examples of Romanesque revival architecture—educational architecture—that is, uh, in the state of Florida. So just from an architectural standpoint, I think the building has a special purpose, but I think more importantly, the reason for me that it is so important is that it is a hands-on museum for students coming through, so that they learn by being involved and actually doing work here at the center. I think that for adults in the community, um, in many ways it’s a reminder of what their school days might have been like and also a reminder of things they have heard their family, um, talk about, and I feel something that the Public History Center will be working on now is using the archives here at the Public History Center, so that those who are doing research can find out more about the past in this area. Um, uh, so I think that is more speaking to the building and the interpretive exhibits, uh, here in the building. Uh, I also feel that this is a very unique setting, because of the teaching gardens here, and there are other hands-on museums in [U.S.] National Register [of Historic Places] buildings, but I don’t know of any other that is a hands-on museum in a National Register building and also has the teaching gardens, and I think this is an added dimension here. See Um, you were telling me earlier about the three things that you thought were really important about, um… Fisher During me my time here? See During your time here [laughs], yes. Can you tell me more about those? Fisher Okay, I interpreted my job here—as a museum specialist—that I was a teacher—that my job was to work with students every day and to also work with the teachers, uh, and this gave me many opportunities, not only for, uh, elaborating on curriculum, but also in providing for in-services and so forth, but looking back over my time here at the museum, the three things that I am most proud of—that I can say, “Well, this is something tangible that I did,” uh, was seeing that, um, the gardens were established. This was something I wanted to do, and I realized when I was talking to the students in the Native American room<a title="">[1]</a> about the three sisters and, um, about the plants, the crops that were grown by the Native Americans, or in the Pioneer Room<a title="">[2]</a> talking about the three G’s—grits, greens, and gravy. I realized that many students did not quite understand about—what I was talking about. “What are these vegetable for?” For them, these things just came from the store in frozen packages or in cans, and so I thought if they could actually see the plants growing, that that would be important, and fortunately there was, in the neighborhood, a master gardener, Walt Paget, who needed to have a project, and therefore, he was the one who actually came, and we worked together in establishing the very first garden, which was more of a pioneer-oriented garden, but I felt that the establishment of the teaching gardens—showing plants, herbs, and also the historic rose garden— that this was a significant, uh, development during my time here, and the other two things may seem trivial, but to me, they made a difference, and one was having the animal sounds in the Native American room. I thought that, with the subdued lighting, that created more of an atmosphere of traveling back in time to a Native American village, and then here in the Turn of the Century Classroom[: Lessons from 1902]—the ticking of the clock. because I realized that many students could—are just accustomed to digital clocks and had never heard a clock ticking, and so we not only have a clock that ticks, but the face of the clock has Roman numerals, which again, served as a teaching tool. So I guess the three things, when I look back on my tenure here as a museum specialist, were the gardens, the animal sounds, and the ticking clock. See What’s your favorite story about the Public History Center or the Student Museum? Fisher I have many, many [laughs] that I guess would be favorites that are quite different. Um, two immediately come to mind. One involves students. I had the privilege of working with the tea—uh, a teacher of the autistic, uh, students at Eastbrook Elementary [School], and we worked on a curriculum that we would have the students visited once a month throughout the entire school year. I found that most of the students who were coming were not able to communicate with us verbally, but they seemed to have a real appreciation. They could identify items and so on and so forth. So we felt that we were accomplishing something, and then one day, we were in the Pioneer room, and I had brought down the items from the American Girls book that corresponded to the pioneer period or to a pioneer period, and one of the students in the class was examining the items, and he picked up the item and called it by the name in the book—the, uh, American Girls book, and the teacher had told me earlier that he had read all of the books, but they weren’t sure if he were—was really understanding what he had read. He picked up the lunch pail—and the pail was called a “tenet”—and he picked it up and said that word, and the teacher was astounded and she said, “Did you tell him this?” And I said, “No,” and she said, “I did not.” His mother could not believe it, and that’s when the teacher and the mother realized that this student was reading these books and truly was understanding. That was a memorable day. Another memorable day was a very early morning knock on the door, uh, at the Student Museum, and an older man was there with his wife and asked if he could come in, and he explained that he had just come in on the auto train—uh, was here in Sanford, because of the auto train, and they were headed on into South Florida, but as a child he had lived here in Sanford, and this was his elementary school, and he wanted to show it to his wife. He asked if he might go upstairs to the auditorium, and he began telling his wife about the plays that the students put on here, and that one of the most proud moments in his life was being in a school play, and that his parents had come to the performance, and how proud he felt, and that he was just bursting with pride when he greeted his parents after the play, and they told him—this was in the depths of the [Great] Depression—that this would be his last time at the school—that they had lost their house, and they moved from the area, and he said that they had to move in with relatives in another state, and he went from this high point, where he was feeling so good to—about himself to a point where he felt that he was—he—he didn’t have anything anymore, and he wanted to come back and show his wife this location, where he had once felt so good about himself. See Um, did you ever have any students who misbehaved during a field trip [laughs]? Fisher Um, it depends on what you call “misbehave.” Um, I dressed in the role of a turn-of-the-century teacher, and I—I—I did not have any real problems. I had some I had to speak to, and, uh, I tend to use a lower voice when I am really serious and really stern, and it worked out. I think one of my interesting experiences, though, uh, took place when I student came in at lunchtime, and I just—he was joining his class—and I just assumed the student had been to a doctor’s appointment or something like that, and I noticed that the other students were very much interested in talking to him and I thought, Well, you know, maybe it was an unusual appointment or something, but it was at lunch and they were chatting, you know? So that was it, and after lunch, I took the group to Grandma’s Attic, where they had the opportunity to try on clothing and so forth, and, uh, that’s when I realized that the student had been given—at the appointment in the morning—an ankle monitor, and that’s why [laughs] his classmates were very much interested in how his appointment had gone, but it—it was no problem with the child. He cooperated beautifully. See Um, how do you see the Public History Center’s role in the community changing, now that it’s open to the public, instead of just for fourth grade field trips? Fisher Okay, the key thing there is “open to the public.” Because of very limited staff— it was very difficult to have it open for extended hours, and working under the school district, we could not have the public in when students were here, and so that meant there were just limited opportunities for the public to come. I now see this for—as an opportunity for, uh, people from all over whether they’re coming in by auto train or the airport or, uh, wherever—having the opportunity to visit here, because of the extended hours and the fact that the, um, Public History Center will be open on the weekend. I also envision that there will be learning opportunities—special programs for adults here, and I had mentioned one that I hope—I would love to see it develop—um, where there was to be a workshop here for adults, where they would be given the opportunity to start writing down their own personal history—their own life story, [air conditioner turns on] and I think that this would be an ideal setting for that, because there are so many visual props that would remind them of episodes in their own life, that they might want to jot down these stories and pass on. Now, we’re probably being distracted by the sound of the air conditioner, but that points out [laughs] a challenge now, but it also points out something special about this building—that the building itself can be used as a teaching tool, with the wonderful windows, and how they were used for light, as well as ventilation, and how the design of the building was also used to take advantage of cross- ventilation, but we obviously have a very loud air conditioner. See [laughs] Um, do you have a favorite room in the museum? Fisher I guess, being a teacher, this Turn of the Century Classroom is my absolute favorite room. Uh, I feel very much at home here, and, um, I have very happy memories of teaching in this room. I have very happy memories of teaching in other areas, but I’m the daughter of a teacher, and in many ways this reminds me of things my mother would tell me about. See Um, do students seem to get more out of some rooms in the museum than others, or does it just depend on the student, or all the rooms equally valuable? Fisher It depends on the students, and it depends on the preparation they have had before they had come here. I think, for me, the beauty of the hands-on experience is that students, who might not excel at the written word or reading in the traditional classroom, all can do very well here because of hands-on and verbal participation, but, um, I think—I think it depends on the student’s own interests, and, uh, again, it probably has a lot to do with the enthusiasm of the guide who is showing them the particular area. That might be a factor, as well. See Um, what advice would you give people who want to volunteer at the museum? Fisher Do it. Uh, the beauty of the Public History Center is that there are so many volunteer opportunities, not just for working with the students. Now, the main[?] one that I found most rewarding was working with the students and the exchange—the interaction—but there are jobs that are needed to be done behind the scenes. Whether it is inventorying the suitcases or books, or whether it is working with the archives, or whether it is working as a gardener in the teaching gardens. I think that there is—or a greeter. Oh, that is a wonderful job for someone who enjoys people, but really does not want to, uh, work with the students in the instructional program. That is a wonderful opportunity. So I really—that there is something here for everyone, and so, if someone is a little tentative about volunteering, I would suggest that they come and tour, and say, “Alright. This is what I like to do. What can I do to help you?” See Um, if you could describe your ideal future for the Public History Center and the Student Museum, what would it be? Fisher [laughs] For the instructional program to continue for fourth graders, but also for that program to be expanded, and again, during the time, I was here, I had the opportunity—we had year-round school. We had multi-age classes—that was a phase that the district was going through. I especially enjoyed working with the multi-age classes, because that meant that students came here one year and then they would come the following year, and so we could do different things. I also liked working with teachers on special programs, and I think this is where the Public History Center, working with UCF students, could do a great deal—is working with teachers collaborating—using the resources here at the Public History Center—to develop special programs. I would like to see more in-service staff development done with, um, teachers here. So that teachers, who are required to do certificate renewal, could take a course here at the Public History Center. Again, going back to what I had mentioned about community programs—and I hope that someday there is an elevator, so that we aren’t limited in the use of the auditorium and use of the, um, second level, but I just see this more as a very active center in the community and—where all of us can learn about changes in education and innovation in the education. See Um, what do you think is the ideal age for students to come to the Student Museum? I mean, we’ve heard about the fourth grade field trip. Is—is that about the ideal age or… Fisher Oh, I think it depends on what you are offering. I think that, uh, the fourth grade fit in with the Florida curriculum, but again, depending on what the teacher might be doing—or special programs that could be developed. You see, uh, at one time there was an eighth grade program here as well, and, um, due to budget cuts and so forth, that program had to be eliminated, and also, there were problems scheduling with the middle school schedule, but, um, I—and I have had the opportunity again with year-round education to work with senior high students. So this is the beauty of this facility. It can be taught at so many different levels, depending on where you’re putting your focus. See Um… Fisher I think everyone should come here and, as I said, I am delighted at the potential that I am seeing, the enthusiasm with those from UCF, uh, in transforming this into a Public History Center, and I’m delighted that the public will now have greater access to this facility. See Um, I’ve heard that the Public History Center serves—or has served—a lot of other purposes in the community, other than just as a museum and a teaching facility. I even heard a story about someone getting married here. Um, do you have any experiences with it in other capacities, other than as just the, uh, museum? Fisher Well, I was not involved with someone getting married here, but I know that it has been open, thanks to the Sanford Historic Trust, several years ago inviting the museum to be part of the annual tour. It was opened for that. So for—that would be more of a social, um, learning experience too, but I—I really do not know beyond that. I know students always want to know about ghosts. “Are there ghosts here at the Student Museum?” But I, um, don’t know about that. See Well, speaking of ghosts, um, do you have a favorite aspect of the history of this place? I mean, as a school, as Sanford Grammar, or, um… Fisher Uh, no. I do not. Uh, I think that could definitely be addressed by students who came here, and something that I found very rewarding was when reunion groups from what had been Sanford High School and now is Seminole High School, when they would have their reunions and request that the museum be open on the weekend, so that they could come back and visit. I enjoyed hearing the stories of that and since I had no grown up in the Sanford community. Um, I learned a lot from that, but, um, no. Nothing else I don’t think. See Um, so I’ve heard that there are a lot, um, of seasonal celebrations that take place here, um, especially around fall and things like that. Do you—do you go to those? Or… Fisher Well, in the past, I have volunteered with those, and, um, one of the favorite celebrations—it depends on how the, uh, calendar goes—is the Spring Fest around May Day, because when this was Sanford Grammar School, the May Day celebration was a major celebration for students here, and so—for several years, the Spring Fest has included that dancing of the May Pole, and that was of appeal to those who had gone here remembering their days as students. See Um, we’ve talked a lot about school-age children coming to the Student Museum and Public History Center. Um, is there a minimum age where it’s appropriate to bring children? Fisher Uh, I think it depends on the parents, who would be bringing them. Um, uh, I would think that a child from, I would say, maybe three on—although we have had them in strollers and so forth coming through, but, um, I—I think it depends on—are you talking about them coming just to visit the building, just to see the building or to participate in a program? I—I would think that three would be about the youngest, but it depends on the parents, and, um, what the children have been exposed to before. See Um, what about adults coming here? I mean, I know Student Museum sort of implies that it’s only for children, but do you think there’s something for adults also? Fisher Oh, absolutely, and, um, again, uh—going back to things that I remember—um, I remember, um, an adult friend of mine bringing her mother here, and the mother, uh, was quite elderly and had limited vision, but coming into this classroom and hearing the sound of the footsteps on the hardwood pine floor and so forth, and the ticking of the clock, and just feeling the chalkboards and so forth, brought back memories of her school days, and the mother just began sharing these stories that the daughter had never heard. So I think that this is a multi-generational location. Student Museum—remember that its origins are with the Seminole County Public Schools, so I think that that is larger, but there was another part to that name. It was the School Board of Seminole County’s Student Museum and Center for the Social Studies, and this goes back to the point that I was—wanted to make earlier—was that I think with, um, UCF now and with the emphasis on public history, that this is going to be more of a center for social studies and for adults to be involved. See Alright. Thank you so much for talking to me.
