  1. 1.  Sarah Elizabeth Waring LEITNER was born in 1847; and died.

    Notes:

    When Sarah E.W. Leitner was packing to migrate to Florida with her parents she was told to take only the absolute essentials. 8 year old Sarah begged so hard to bring a little rose bush (everblooming Louis Phillippe) that she was allowed to "carry it all the way on my lap". As long as Sarah lived she had a bush of this rose (also known as the Carolina Rambler) in her yard. She rooted hers under an over-turned Mason fruit jar. --told to C. Patrick Priest.

    Sarah E.W. Leitner Griner Priest demonstrated the Leitner determination when the nineteenth amendment went into effect Aug.18, 1920. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Aged 73 at this time Sarah went to the polls at the first opportunity and consulted with no one as to the most desirable candidates. (Told by her son Clarence C. Priest as he neared his 95th birthday. That same day Papa recalled that his grandpa, Jacob Leitner, Jr. ((1807-1884)) would become so wrought-up when he prayed at family prayer time, he could be heard a quarter mile away.

    How Papa came to volunteer to fight in the Spanish-American War.
    by Emily Priest Brockman

    Papa and two of his brothers attended a party in Pedro, Fla. A recruiter for the Army was there and the three brothers promised to report to an office in Ocala the following morning. The next morning the two brothers "would have none of it" but Clarence was still determined to go. When he told his father of his intentions to join the army and asked if his brother, John, could use their buggy and the family mare "Old Bess" to drive him to Ocala (about 10 miles) his father, who had volunteered for the Civil War, said "No".

    After Clarence retorted "I can walk it by 10 o'clock", his father, Lum, relented and John drove him to town. "Ma and sister Fannie followed me to the end of the family field crying their eyes out", Clarence said.
