Here's the info about the Skinner house. I believe the mill was probably nearby: If you are driving north on Scenic Highway, wen you get to the intersection of Olive Road & Scenic Highway you will see the entrance to an upscale subdivision on your left. It is named Rosemont. According to Mrs. Eunice Renshaw Thompson Geiger (widow of Marine General Roy Geiger), her widowed mother bought the house on that property c. 1900 from Emory Fiske Skinner who was moving to CA. Eunice grew up on the property. In the 1920s, the house burned, but the carriage house survived. It was converted into suitable living quarters and that was where I interviewed Mrs. Geiger in 1971. Mrs. Geiger's descendants sold the property and it was developed sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. I believe the original carriage house has been torn down or renovated to the extent that it is not recognizable.

In E. F. Skinner's book, Reminiscences, he talks about getting off the train at the Escambia station when he goes home. Wiggins' 1903 Pensacola City Directory lists the Escambia Station as being on the L&N line, 9.1 miles from Pensacola. Also in the book, beginning on page 319, Skinner says that he had returned to Escambia and the mill was practically shut down because the men had taken off early to see a circus. While Skinner and his son were eating, the son jumped up because he saw that the mill was on fire, so the house had to be adjacent to the mill. In other areas of the book Skinner talks about living near Flat Iron (Ferry Pass). I have a friend who knows just where the old Skinner house was located. I'll e-mail her for the exact location, I know it was on Scenic Highway.

For anyone who IS pursuing the Skinner's Mill, his house, or other memories, please include a question about a Skinner's Mill **CEMETERY**, also. There have been several references to that cemetery, and wouldn't it be exciting to find such a place??

Yes, I went to FAG---I am compiling a packet of all the info we have all discussed here, including those great pics by Doug, to put into a WFGL Surname file folder. Someone may just come by one day looking for all of this data. They are great pics, and to Doug LIndsey and Lee Scott, and some many others who do this wonderful chore, we owe MUCH thanks.

Evan, In that 100th Anniversary book I wrote with Ed Albrecht for Immanuel Lutheran Church, we had a section on Fellowship and Recreation telling about places where the young people's group and Sunday school and other organizations held parties and social functions. I had interviewed Katy Briese Campbell about the Missing Link Ferry. She told me it was out Scenic Highway about where Olive Road ends, near Lora Point and that Skinner's Park was in the same general area, south of Olive Road and north of the Westinghouse Plant on the high hill. [God With Us 100 Years, p. 66] Cynthia
In the 1940's there was a area called Skinner's Park just North of the Westinghouse plant on top of the hill over looking the Bay. It was West of Scenic Hwy along the high bluffs. The local Carpenter's union would have a fish fry there after the annual Labor Day parade in Pensacola. I went there as a young boy with my Father.

If you go to Findagrave you will see the pictures by Doug Lindsey. -----Original Message----- From: Evan Strohl Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 4:38 PM To: fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Cemetery help needed Careful in the ID of Olive Cem---RE: email from L.L. Scott, May 03, 2:03AM: We have currently found the headstones in the Clopton cemetery, for NOW; But we DON'T know WHEN they were put there!! According to the email of Jacki Wilson, she has found the grave of the Mother, Susan C. buried in Whitmire, according to Lola Lee's Rural Cems. It is MOST likely that they would have both been buried in the Whitmire Cemetery in 1920, given that Olive Community is right down the street from the Whitmire. Whereas the Clopton Cemetery, which NOW houses their graves, is at least 4 or 5 miles away from the Whitmire, dirt road back them, and was only about 15 years old at that point. And, the Whitmire has babies buried there who were born and died in the 1888's. I would seem MORE likely that Lola Lee's book may have been correct--- back in the 1940's when she wrote it. But for whatever reason, the Mother and child could easily have been moved ANYTIME, later to the Clopton--- because that may have been their own new church, or, a newer homesite, or, closer to other family [pick a reason.] Anyway, our aim, of course, is to compare a "current" name to which ever WAS the "Olive" Cemetery in 1920, when Baby & Catherine Boley died. Certainly the Whitmire seems the more likely place to be buried at that time, and additionally, with Whitmire being located if not IN, certainly in PROXIMITY TO Olive community, AND, finally,with the Lola Lee Book listing the Mom as buried there, I'd put my bets on Whitmire being the "Olive" Cemetery---90 years ago. I know, I know, it ain't proof, and we can work on that some more, but I think it's likely the Whitmire---my opinion. The ideas coming in are GREAT!! Any more!? Evan P.S., For 50+ years a man was buried in the Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery in Molino, and another in the Pugh's Chapel Cem, WEST on Molino Road [C-182], when the I got a phone call from a close friend of the Marlow Family, Mr. Lail told me that these two burials are now buried in the Marlow Family cemetery, in downtown Molino, and that it is a Private Family Cemetery, and they would not allow any visitors, due to the reasons which PUT their family IN there. These two earlier burials had simply been moved---but WHO would know---unless someone else knew---in this case, another Molino resident, who simply had a query for me one day?? These are just two examples of a a handful that we've run into in the past. The Life of Faith Church in Molino, near Barrineau Park, dis-interred ALL the few headstones in their cemetery about 10 years ago, and put them all somewhere else. We have no idea where---they weren't very friendly to us at the time.

Evan, You know I am still looking for Skinner Cemetery. The person, Jessee Herrington, buried in Skinners Mill Baptist Cemetery (died in 1893) was a brother to some early burials in Clopton. Isaac Newton Herrington (Jan 9, 1913); Martin Luther Herrington (died Dec 1, 1902) Luther Eugene Herrington (died July 4, 1905, son of Isaac Newton) Sarah Minerva Herrington Loftin (died Nov 26, 1904) There were tombstones for these four people back in 2001 when I took pictures of them. They are located up under the trees on the side adjacent to the interstate. I did go by after Ivan and they were still standing.

I found the infants stone in Clopton Cemetery (FAG) so that would have been the Olive Cemetery. Some fun :-) -----Original Message----- From: L. L. Scott Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 3:51 PM To: fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Cemetery help needed Thanks all you smart folks. See what we can do together.

Who's game? -----Original Message----- From: Billye/Paul Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 3:20 PM To: fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Cemetery help needed My husband's great-grandfather, Otto Robert King, was listed in the family bible as being born in Olive, Florida. He was born in 1883 in Escambia County. The federal 1880 census shows the family living in District four of Escambia County. On the State 1885 census he is still in Escambia County and the photocopy of the page their names are listed only notes, "Inhabitants in District 6, 7 &9". They are in dwelling 295, family 295. The head of household was Johnson King. The point being here, is that if they lived in Olive, Florida, and you can determine where the voting district four was in 1880, and the districts 6,7 & 9 were on the 1885 census, it might help you calculate where Olive, Florida was. Is this of any help?

S. Catherine Jones Boley, Wife of M. C. Boley, b. 8 Jun 1882, Birmingham, England, D 2 Mar 1920, is buried in Whitmire Cemetery. This is the only Boley in Lola Lee Daniell Bruington's Rural Cemeteries in Escambia County Florida book, but we know there are a lot of unmarked graves in Whitmire.
