    1. Re: [FL-WFGS] Cemetery help needed
    2. 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.
