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.

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.

<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Alright and my name is Autumn Reisz and it is March 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2013 and I am talking with Algerine today at the History Harvest. And we're going to talk about some of the items that she brought today.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>So, first, ah, how did you hear about us and our event today?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Ah, Meghan [Vance] and, um—I can't think of her name.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>I know Meghan came to see you. Was it Dr. [Rosalind J.] Beiler? Did you talk to her? Um, I am trying to think of who else went out.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Dr. who?</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Dr. Beiler—Rose?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Yes, Rose. I talked to Rose. Yes, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Did you talk to Rose? Um, Excellent.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>And then, um, tell us what you brought today.</p>
<p><strong>Miller <br /></strong>Well, today I brought some documents going back in my family history. The birth of my father.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Thanks. Very nice. That is fantastic. What else do you have?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>And I have the property deed for the property which we still have.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Nice.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>This is my father, my father's mother. My father and mother. My father's mother. My mother's sister and her husband. My father's three brothers—I mean two brothers. That's another picture of my father. That's an earlier picture. My brother who's deceased, on the left. My brother who's deceased. This is my family.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Is that the house?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>That's the house. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Excellent.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>This is a picture of my sister who was attached to the White House. And she has a picture with…</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Ah, yeah!</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>With President [Bill] Clinton.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>That is fantastic! Well, I am going to give these back, because they're a little fragile.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Mmkay.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>So you said ya'll have had that house and that property for how long?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>1946, I believe.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Yeah? Still living there and, ah…</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Still living there. The house's still standing. [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Now you brought these particular pictures to be scanned today, because they are—they are very significant to you? And you wanted to make sure you had digital copies, right?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>[<em>nods</em>] Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz <br /></strong>Is there one in particular that you really wanted to make sure that got scanned? Was it the picture, the deed, or everything?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Everything.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Everything. Well alright. Any stories you'd like to share?</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>No. I can't think of any right now.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Okay. Well, that's it. We just wanted to know a little bit about the items that you brought today and how you heard about us, and, ah, that's it. Nice and easy.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>Thank you very much.</p>
<p><strong>Miller<br /></strong>You're welcome.</p>
<p><strong>Reisz<br /></strong>We really appreciate it. </p>
