I don't know if this is relevant to your query about Olive Cemetery, but the area near Olive Road and Old Palafox was known as Olive. There was an Olive Station on the R.R. at this location.

Very good, Jacki, you were THINKING!! ;=) Good for you. That was certainly "turn of the century" and a little before! Jones HOYT, an early relative of the Whitmires, I believe, used to tell me that the north section, which we know TODAY as the Black section, was ". . .where the Ferry Pass residents interred their slaves"---which always made me think that this implied an "age" for the Whitmire. Actually, none of the graves goes back that far---DEATH DATES, that is, but I spent a lot of time in that cemetery, and saw nothing as old as the slave days. Let me know if you come up with an answer--I have replied, also. I can't stand it when there is a cem out there that I haven't heard of!! Usually, it's just given another name.

Most of our resources on the history of Ferry Pass, Olive, and Flat Iron (the area around the UWF campus, sometimes called Delta in early articles) were studied for the history of Olive Baptist Church. Mr. Whitmire came here and built his home sometime in 1866 or 1867 along the Olive-Ferry Pass road, and the Eliott's Florida Encyclopdia of 1889 noted the existence of Ferry Pass but also Olive for which it said it was on the L&N Railroad, 8 miles north of Pensacola, population 100, and Lewis Boley was the Postmaster. I really have great doubts about place called "Olive" in 1823. There are many religious churches, etc. that use the term "Olivet" as a relaxing garden spot but often to denote a cemetery spot. A family could have called a burial plot on their farm "Olivet." And it would have been easy over time for a transcription error to creep in between "olivet" and Olive, Florida. What many don't know is that Escambia was a citrus county for Florida up until about 1926 with orange, grapefruit, and other exports, and probably olives, too.

Henry Shepard died of Yellow Fever in Mar 1823 and was buried in Olive - I assume in the Olive Cemetery. I doubt you will find a tombstone for him though since he left four orphans. His wife had died earlier. There is no mention of an Olive Cemetery in Escambia in Chronicling America from 1905-1910 in the Pensacola Journal. And it may be that there never was an Olive Cemetery. Back then the front yard was close at hand and the Funeral Parlor Lobby hadn't yet formed. Those listed in the early papers as buried in Olive may have just been buried on their family's property. Bonnie is right though. It would make a great Footprints article to document trying to find the Olive Cemetery. Jerry On 5/2/2011 1:42 PM, Bruce and Connie Rova wrote: > Michael C.

Michael C. Boley (26 Sep 1880-21 May 1947) is buried in Clopton Cemetery behind the East Brent Baptist Church. I noted there are Merritt's buried there too...could one of them be the one Jerry referred to? There are three burials from 1920 shown there, but not an infant Boley... Perhaps someone associated with that cemetery would know if it had been known by another name previously? Bruce I just got Jacki Wilson's note about Michael's wife dying in 1920 and being buried in Whitmire Cemetery. Perhaps her death in 1920 and the child's death in 1920 were related. It would seem logical to assume the Mother and Child who died in the same year would be buried in the same cemetery, I would think.

Lee, sounds like a good research project to publish in the 2011 Footprints: "What became of the Olive Cemetery?" How about it? Currently I am taking articles for the 2011 edition. Almost any topic will be considered for publication. Send electronically to me at griffle@cox.net Please pass the word to those who don't use the computer to call me at (850) 453-4847. Leave a message and I will return your call. Thanks!
Thanks, I had thought of that, now what cemeteries are in the area. -----Original Message----- From: jackiw@juno.com Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 1:01 PM To: fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com Cc: fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Cemetery help needed I don't know if this is relevant to your query about Olive Cemetery, but the area near Olive Road and Old Palafox was known as Olive. There was an Olive Station on the R.R. at this location. Jacki Wilson ____________________________________________________________ Groupon™ Official Site 1 ridiculously huge coupon a day.

I think it is lost to time. I have an ancestor listed in 1823 as buried in Olive. But even the US Geographic Names Information System has no listing for the Olive Cemetery today. It may be a part of one the three churches with Olive in their names. I would check those to see if they have an adjacent cemetery on the property that goes back to the early 1800s.

Tomorrow, 1st May 2011 is MayDay - Help "Save Our Archives" Posted: 30 Apr 2011 05:00 AM PDT Keeping in theme with Preservation Week, talked about in our previous post, know that tomorrow, May 1st is MayDay! Whether you manage your own personal archive, a society archive, institutional archive or all of the above, MayDay is a call to action to make sure that collections are protected. After all, that is a fundamental responsibility of all archivists! The Society of American Archivists gives ideas and resources on what you might do as an individual or as the staff of a repository! You can help “save our archives” by participating in MayDay 2011! Quick-Tip of the Month for Preservation--Disaster Preparedness by Curt B. Witcher *************************************** All the horrible weather that has plagued such a large part of the country reminds us again of how important disaster preparedness is for our genealogical materials and family heirlooms. Typically we don’t think about what to do with these items until it’s too late. When you’re in a tornado shelter or being evacuated because a critical dam or levy just broke--that is not the time to begin your disaster planning. Many have heard the acronym LOCKSS, which stands for Lots Of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe. And that is the best way to prepare for a disaster when it comes to your genealogical documents. With the ease and low cost of scanning and digital technology, and the high quality of the scanned images, think very seriously about creating a digital archive of your family photograph albums and other important family documents. And then don’t store that digital archive right next to your computer, or even in the same house! Send it to a relative in another town, or create a space for your family history on WeRelate.org and post your digital documents there. You can also consider what many thousands of people are doing--using cloud storage such as Mozy, Dropbox, and Carbonite. Most offer significant storage space at a reasonable cost. Prepare to preserve your family treasures before disaster strikes.
Thanks so much, Bonnie. I had about decided you were gone after I sent it to you and was going to try to write something my self. Margo sent me that email which totaled over 18,000 kb. and asked us to publicize it on our web page. I didn't realize it was that big till it was going out to you. Folks with early Spanish ancestors in Escambia Co. should be interested in this performance. Others might be, too. There's supposed to be something in the paper about it today through Mon. Cynthia
Information on the subject special program has been partially posted on the WFGS web site at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~flwfgs/ because the attachments provided to us could not be attached to this e-mail. The Department of Archaeology at the University of West Florida has asked for our help in disseminating information about this program which should be of interest to local historians. It is a free public event celebrating Bernardo de Galvez and the Battle of Pensacola to be held at the Saenger Theatre.
