Pat, thanks for the reply. I was afraid that the list owner owned both lists. I am still not so sure that he or she doesn't ! I did get some HOT replys though lol. I don't normally say anything because I am guilty of chit chat as well, but enough is enough ! A solid month of how to boil peanuts and a little town called " Two Egg " . I've had the flu that is going around and guess I got up that morning with the Bah Humbugs lol. Merry Christmas Doris

Could someone tell me if the FLESCAMB List and the FLJACKSO List are one and the same ? I unsubscribed from the FLJACKSO List and, have not received anything from the Escambia List since that time. I would like to stay on the Escambia List, as I live in Escambia County. The Jackson County List doesn't have anything that interests me. I do not have anyone from that County. For months I deleted pages and pages of stuff about Two Egg and " How to boil Peanuts". One morning the e-mail was full of it and I had had enough---SOOOO, I unsubscribed. I certainly didn't want to unsubscribe form Escambia. How do I fix that ??? Doris

Thanks Pat, Jinx

http://www.cityshowcase.com/pensacola/ this was taken from this web site.....all so far I can find about yellow fever in Pensacola 1870 - Lumber boom began. Yellow fever continued to be almost annual threat to the city. The Germania Hose Co. #1 was the first fire company to be formed after the war. 1905 - In March 34 Navy ships of the "Great White Fleet" arrived for maneuvers in the Caribbean Sea. The North Atlantic Squadron rendezvous was Pensacola bay for several years. The last cases of Yellow Fever diagnosed Aug. 29; medical science had conquered the dreaded disease. Nov. 1, fire destroyed entire business section on Palafox Street, Garden to Romana; damages at $250,000.

Mark: I too was interested in the yellow fever epidemics. I found a book or phamplet (sp.??) in the Mobile Library and copied by hand the info concerning my Edmondsons and McGills only. If I can find the copied notes, I'll try to get it to you. It stated that the yellow fever swept all thru the coastal areas of the Gulf and so many people died in some areas that there was no one alive to report deaths. And of course it was spread by mosquitoes. If found about 6 or 8 of my surnames in the list of people who died. However I didn't recognize any of my surnames listed. Some were listed as "infant of Mr. ----------", or "Mr. Edmondson" or "Mrs. McGill". I don't remember the name of the book (pamphlet, etc). It's been so long ago since I took those notes. It is possible that I found the book in the Florida State Library in Tallahassee. I did not research in Pensacola because at that time I did not know I had any relatives there.

This is mainly about Charleston but gives what caused the disease and what years were affected up here. This is an old book and when written was before the date your speaking of. Hope this can shed some light on what it was like back then. Bushy It was the yellow fever that ravaged the coastal cities, killing almost allnew-comers who had not become aquainted, thereby gaining the name Stranger's fever, that was most dreaded. All who could, fled tot he dry pinelands for the summer; trade languished, for ships could not get a clean bill of health once they visited an infected port and therefore they stayed away; fear ruled when hundreds were dying in a small community such as Charlestown. When yellow fever entered the city during the summer months, it was a tyrant that seemingly had only one enemy, i.e., frost and cool weather. A breif history of these epidemics in the city is necessary as a background for a study of the beginning of Metorological Journals. Though occurring as sporadic cases almost every year, the fever occurred severely as an epidemic again in 1703 and 1728. In the latter year the summer was uncommonly hot and dry, followed by a dreadful hurricane which flooded the city and "so quick was the putrefaction, so offensive and infectious were the corpses" that it was easy to believe that the weather was a cause of the disease. In the years 1732 and 1739 the death rate of the dread disease was rather high. In the city where the death rate of the dreaddisease was rather high. I n the city wehre the population was approximately 16,000 from eight oto twelve white persons were buried daily during the height of the disorder. Only mild attacks occurred in 1745 and 1748 and then for forty-eight years only scattered cases appeared until 1792 which opened a new era. This was only a mild epidemic and 1793 was without any cases of yellow fever. The latter year was spent in nervous dread by the citizens of Charleston because of the severity of the epidemic in Philadelphia, and though relieved when the danger was past their fears were realized the following year when a series of severe attacks began. These appeared in 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797,1799, 1800, 1801, 1802, 1804, and 1807. Cases of yellow fever had been known to occur as early as May (1732) and last until November, though the height was usually in August and September and, with few exceptions, those being children, the victims were strangers. Unseasoned negroes were not exempt but escaped more often than white strangers, and when attacked, had the disease in a milder form and were more generally cured. Persons from the West Indies enjoyed a similar immunity. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Sondys <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 10:45 AM Subject: [FLESCAMB] Yellow Fever in 1905 > Does anyone know any details about the Yellow Fever > epidemic in Pensacola in 1905? > -How many died? > -Was the epidemic countywide or spread throughout the south? > -Do death records in Escambia Co. in 1905 list the cause of death? > > The epidemic is listed in the "History of Pensacola" document > on the Genweb website at: > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/3226/Pensacola/index.html > > Mark Sondys >

Hi, I don't have those records, but I do have the yellow fever epidemic of Brewton, Al in 1883 if you are interested in that? pat

Does anyone know any details about the Yellow Fever epidemic in Pensacola in 1905? -How many died? -Was the epidemic countywide or spread throughout the south? -Do death records in Escambia Co. in 1905 list the cause of death? The epidemic is listed in the "History of Pensacola" document on the Genweb website at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/3226/Pensacola/index.html Mark Sondys

Any one have info on a Spanish Cemetery located somewhere off Diamond St., near Floridatown Rd.? Local legend and Spanish artifacts keep turning up, would like to pinpoint location and confirm. Also does anyone have detailed maps of Pace, Floridatown pre-development that shows old creeks or rivers ... havent been able to locate any on the map sites available. Also need info on Floridatown when it was the county (Santa Rosa) seat (before it was moved to Milton becouse of yellow fever outbreak). thanks-

Does anyone know what Public Elementary Schools were in operation during the later 1920s, in Pensacola? Mary Ann

There should also be at least one Barrington buried in Clopton's. Grace Estel Mason Barrington Born Apr 23, 1896 in Akron OH, Died 1929 in Esc. Co., FL. If you do come across her listing, I'd really be interested in the information. Thanks Rhonda Bailey Stanton
