| 301 | Recalled by Fannie Priest Kipp--Sarah Leitner Priest took great joy in telling this story about her sister Susan Anne, her brother John and herself. "One day I had to strain the fresh milk so I yelled out, 'Oh, Susan Anne, where's the strainer rag?' 'On Brother John's sore leg', came the reply. I called back, 'Go! hurry, and give it a dip in the duck pond! I do abom-m-m-inate nast-i-ness!" Then came Grandma Sarah's laughter in her deep voice. | LEITNER, Susan Anne Charlotte (I275)

He had an extremely 'intelligent horse' named 'Charlie'. Charlie would be hitched to a wagon filled with strawberries, turned in the right direction and with a 'slap on the back' would head for the little station called Brooklyn (now Keystone Heights) where the agent removed the strawberries to be shipped to N.Y., then turned Charlie homeward bound where he would be met and greeted with affection.

About Kirby Griner: "Everybody knows Kirby Griner, the intimate of the rich and the friend of the poor and deserving ex-corporal of the Ocala Rifles-small Of statue and big of heart. A month ago he went into Missouri and joined the noble band of benedicts by taking unto himself the missing rib, in the person of the fair and fascinating Miss Susie Gaskill, which happy and auspicious event occurred July 16, witnessed by a host of well wishers.

| 322 | Stillborn. The following information was provided by (Sadie Irene Soderblom) Hackett: Fred is buried at the Lutheran Cemetery on the Upsala Road, Sanford. This site is now a historical location with a marker at street side which states that this is the sight of the earliest and largest Swedish Community in Florida. The Scandinavian Society Lutheran Church on that sight was not only the church but the school and meeting house until 1904. in May, 1871, 33 Swedish immigrants (26 men and 7 women) sponsored by Henry S. Sanford came to the area for the purpose of developing his citrus groves. His initial cost per person was $75.00 ($65. for transportation and $10. for the recruiting agent). He gave each free rations and living quarters for one year; later gave them a parcel of land. In 1871 twenty additional Swedes arrived joining the original immigrants in the Swedish community. Many descendants still live in the area. (Note: I remember as a child, going to this church on Sunday afternoon (after first going to the Lake Monroe Baptist church with Aunt Edna [Mamie Edna (Soderblom) Martin] and Grandma [Laura Parmelia (Black) Priester] in the morning). There was a traveling minister who came, and when no one was there Dad [Karl Gustaf Soderblom] would conduct the service (all in Swedish). Many years later this property was purchased by the St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Orlando, of which we were members.) | SODERBLOM, Fred Gustaf (I11)

| 326 | Sunday School Teacher and Deacon From the "History of the First Baptist Church, Summerfield, FL": Odell Smith's family came from South Carolina to the area around Deland. They followed and worked in the turpentine business westward until they reached Summerfield. Upon settling here they lived in several different houses around the community. Odell eventually signed on with the railroad where he worked until his retirement. Odell was a church member five years before Edith Proctor, daughter of J.D. and Emma Proctor, joined with her parents. After Edith and Odell wed, they continued to be active members all their fifty-plus years of married life. Odell was ordained a deacon in 1943, taught Sunday School and served as the church clerk. Where ever there was a need; Odell was available during his 60 years as a member. Edith took part in all organizations and pressed onward after she was widowed. | SMITH, Thomas Odell (I172)

| 334 | The head of the Halkett family held the title of baronet. A baronet is the holder of a baronetcy, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. The practice of awarding baronetcies was originally introduced in England in the 14th century and was used by James I of England in 1611 as a means of raising funds. According to the Annals of Dunfermline, the first Halkett Baronet was created in 1662, which is more than 100 years after Andrews reported birth. Excerpts from "The annals of Dunfermline and vicinity, from the earliest authentic period to the present time, A.D. 1069-1878; interspersed with explanatory notes, memorabilia, and numerous illustrative engravings," By Ebenezer Henderson .

| 335 | The HON.HENRY W. LONG, close cousin and friend of Charlotte (Souter) Leitner was a 2nd Lt. of Co. K. of 9th Regiment. He was in command of Co. G. Finegan's Brigade, Malone Div. at the end of the War. Below we quote from his handwritten diary loaned to Elizabeth I. McPheeters by his heir L. A. Tucker, Jr. of Ocala in 1971 1862 " . . . I felt that it was good to wait upon the Lord & believe that the church was built up somewhat. In consequence of very many of our citizens being far from home nobly contending for the right of self government in this unnatural War that is now raging between the United States & Confederate States of America--Oh that our people would repent of their sins & mighty cry to the God of Battles & that he would deliver us from the hands of an ungreatful foe whose chief object is to pilfer so unoffending People. Our national horizon is darkened by lowering clouds, but I trust that a bright and glorious future will soon loom up & that nationally, we may learn that it is good to be chastised & that our afflictions may work for us a far more exceeding & Eternal weight of glory . . . . " Henry Long' a boat trip: At age 24, with a wife and small child, Henry Long of SC migrated to Fla. by boat. The year was 1855 the month December. (His first cousin, once removed, Charlotte Souter Leitner came the same year but overland). The following is quoted from Mr. Long's 100 year old diary: ". . I had seen very little of the world. I came by R. Roade to Charleston, spent one day & night in that citty. I saw some magnificent buildings but the formation & regulation of the citty looked very old to our beautiful town Columbia. I had never seen a Steam Boate untill we took passage on the Steamer Carolinar Flor. We had an awfull windy time on the Ocean & most of us were sick. We took the Boate Christmas evening & entered the St.Johns River next morning about 8 O'clock. We had a beautifull time on the River. Landed at Palatka that night about 8 O'clock. The next morning we took passage in Capt. KinBlers wagon, which met us at Palatka & made our way for his plantation. We traveled over a very pore Country & night caught us at Orange Spring. There we camped but in consequence of our freight being detained we had only one quilt which happened to be around a clock that was in a trunk. Situated thus we did not rest well so about midnight we harnessed up & struck out for our new home. We got to Daniel Souters for dinner & in the evening finished our tripp." | LONG, Henry W. (I2714)

| 336 | The information in this note has been compiled from family stories and notes, but contains some inaccurate information. The most significant is the conflating of John Black and Alexander Black. They are two different and unrelated individuals. Blackville, South Carolina is named for Alexander Black according to research by Kathy Black Henson. ----- John Alexander Black was born in 1810 in Glasgow, Scotland, a city of Western Scotland, on the Clyde River. He supposedly ran away before coming of age and came to America by boat to Charleston, South Carolina in the early 1830's. He lived with a family named Mr. & Mrs. Peters for a while. He traveled with his two brothers, Jo and Bruce. Once the reached America, they went their separate ways. Jo became a tailor and settled in Louisiana. There is no information on Bruce. He may have lived with a sister, Mrs Permelia Redman, who lived in Barnwell County, in the vicinity where Blackville is located. (note: this is probably a church sister and not a familial relationship) John Alexander Black came to a sparsely settled section and settled. This section is now known as Blackville, but was once named Clinton. John's plantation was joining Dr. Montague near the Methodist Church. John Built the first house and blacksmith shop in Blackville. He and Dr. Montague lived side by side in the 1850 census. John helped build the railroad between Charleston and Hamberg, now North Augusta, SC. In the census, he states he was a mechanic and carpenter. John Alexander was one of the first Presidents and Chairman of the Board of Southern Railroad and Canal Company. Blackville was named for John Alexander Black, who petitioned the South Carolina legislature for the charter of the South Carolina Railroad & Canal Company, once named Clinton. Seven years later the railroad from Charleston to Augusta was surveyed over a route passing Mr. Black's home. The railroad from Charleston, South Carolina to Augusta, Georgia was the longest in the world under one management. In fact, it was twice as long as any in America. It was the first commercial railroad in the United States. The building of the railroad was an engineering and economic success. The committee members were Alexander Black, Joseph Johnson, William Aiken, James Ross, J. N. Cardogo, and T. Tupper. The length of the route was to be about one hundred and forty miles. The estimated cost per mile for construction was placed at $3,600.00, and the total cost for the whole line being $504,000.00. Rolling stock, bridges, and maintenance sheds would add another $96,000.00 making the total $600,000.00. This was a large sum of money, but the annual return on investment was thought to be 19% (copy from Charleston, SC Archives). The railroad attracted settlers and this soon became a prosperous community. Blackville was recognized in 1837 for John Alexander Black. "The Best Friend" of Charleston was the first railroad locomotive in South Carolina, first commercial railroad in United States, and first steam locomotive built in America. This railroad was taken up in 1992. John Alexander married first to Gemima Givens in 1835. Gemima was born in 1820, and died in 1852. She was a daughter of Eli Givens. John married second to Elizabeth "Betsey" Conoway in 1855. Elizabeth was born April 2, 1828 and died December 6, 1904. In the 1860 census, John's personal property was $150.00. Real estate was $200.00. In later years John and Elizabeth bought seventy five acres of farm land between Blackville and Hilda. They built a house on this land and they farmed for a living. John died in 1875 in Blackville South Carolina, and is buried in the Blackville Methodist Church cemetery. He was placed by the side of Dr. Montague. John had no marker, so we do not have the accurate date. A stake was seen on his grave. Gemima may be buried near him, but we are not sure. Elizabeth is buried in the Double Pond Cemetery near Blackville. The 1850 census states when the first six children were born. | BLACK, John Alexander (I101)

| 337 | The Perry family lived at Pedro and one reason they moved to Summerfield was to be close to a school. The Pedro School closed and the Perry's preferred their children avoid being transported. Mr. and Mrs. Perry moved their letter to First Baptist Church Summerfield in 1925. Vera and siblings, Louise, Iola and Henry, were baptized at the same time in 1929. The other brother, Joe, was in the Pedro Church. (FBCSF History) | PERRY, Charley (I3078)

| 338 | There is a biographical writing in our records and I quote: "S. J. Hacket, proprietor of a general store at Emporium, is the son of S. S. Hacket, and is the fifth in a family of eight children. Mr. Hacket was born in Emporium, Feb. 13, 1856, and entering his father's store when quite young, he remained there as a clerk until 1875, when he embarked in his present business and has met with success. He married in July, 1888, Miss Ella Smith of Portville, in the State of New York. Mr. Hacket is in politics a Democrat, and was appointed postmaster at East Emporium. He is a trustee of the A. O. U. W. And treasurer of the K. & L. His wife is a Presbyterian." This was written in 1890. S. J.

| 341 | Thomas W. Sheehan was born in Waukegan, Illinois on August 17, 1936. Tom has lived a full life as a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Tom met his forever-true love Betty J. Wunderlich at high school. They were married in December 1957. Tom and Betty were married for 63 years. Tom and Betty went on to have four children: Robert John, Michael James (who preceded him in death), Susan Lynn, and William (Bill) Charles Sheehan and many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Tom and Betty loved being involved in the lives on his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. Straight out of high school, Tom enlisted in the Navy to honor his country. Tom served on board the heavy cruiser USS Helena and then on a destroyer USS Mackenzie. He went on to civil service working for RCA building giant satellites around the world. From there he went to work for NASA, which he loved. He worked on the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and the shuttle in NASA Control Center. Tom then closed out his career at Rockwell. He was an Irish man to the end! Tom passed at the age of 84 on St. Patrick’s Day. Just like Tom to pass on his favorite holiday! His true love Betty passed away one year and one day before him. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/webster-tx/thomas-sheehan-10112258 | SHEEHAN, Thomas Wayne (I1544)

| 343 | Tribute to Esther Perry Averitte by an admiring second cousin--Fannie Belle Priest Kipp Esther is a nurse and was a hard working one a few years back. When time for our family reunion rolled around she arranged to get a couple of hours off to join us at the American Legion Home on Lake Weir. She would show up in her working uniform--always with a big smile and a warm handshake. After some persuasion she would agree to MC our doings--when she would throw her arms wide and say, "WELCOME COUSINS" a tingle would go up the spine and you very well knew the mood was set for a close fellowship with kinfolks you hadn't seen for a year and for meeting new relatives many of whom you had never seen before. Sometimes Esther would carry her hospitality a step further and have the reunion at her lovely home. Best wishes, Esther, for good health and for more years visiting with us at the REUNION. | PERRY, Esther Averitte (I537)
