Wow! I learned a lot about these two special people. I knew they were made for each other! This proves it. Thanks for sharing.

I was her principal at Brownfields Academy before she retired. She was a true treasure, and everyone loved her (and your dad too).

I didn’t realize the execution site was on or near Mr. Bobb’s property. I had assumed that the site was chosen because it was considered a good, out of the way place for an execution, but your assumption could be right.

For Information – I wonder is this some sort of grim justice.
John H Bobb is said to be the First White Man murdered by Black Union Solciers, in the Vicksburg area, during the Reign of Terror sometimes referred to as Reconstruciton,
Mr. Bobb was Murdered in May 1864,
Mr. Bobb Lived next door to and it would certainly appear O’Neil’s Bottom was a part of his property,
South Streets runs through it today – East End of South Street.
Do you suppose this was a double meaning,
Nothing was ever done concerning Mr. Bobb’s Murder
A grim Justice, hanging this men near the spot where Mr Bobb ws Murdered and upon his proptety – I wonder.

Great story and awesome that you were in the picture and still have it. I love this. How did you start this. I would love to do this for my kids. I try to tell them about my life but it is bits and pieces. I would love to record it like this and leave it for posterity. How do I start. You are an inspiration!!

I have felt the same way. We lived in a dream world. It was wonderful.

So very many parallel memories of Clermont Harbor. For me they date back to the middle 1930s, when our house was facing Forest Avenue, before it was moved to the corner of Beach and Forest. Fish and crabs at our front door almost (before the sand beach existed).
