Hi everyone, I'm looking for any info or contacts for the LIGHTBOWN families. Millard and Cooper Lightbown moved down from Washington DC to build houses in the Palm Beach area about 1912, and stayed through the boom years. Millard was b. 1884, m.1907 to Clella Loomis. Children: Maud, Ruth, Lynn. Owned Lightbown Constuction. Cooper was b.1886, m.Dyle, m2 Ella Murry. Children : Cooper Jr, Donald, and Mary Jane. He was president of Lightbown-Wadsworth Inc real estate and investments. Cooper was Mayor of Palm Beach from 1922-1928, and built the "Davies, Dillman and Stotesbury residences", often working with Addison Mizner. Do these names ring any bells? Can anyone advise me as to where to find histories, directories, etc. All hints, ideas, memories, help, or contacts are welcome.... -Bryan- My first posting to the list.

Hi, I'm new to the list and this is my first post. Hoping someone can help. Martha Virginia HUNTER, daughter of Jesse Bowman and Catherine Malinda (Rutledge) HUNTER, married Celestiano A. LOPEZ at Marion County Florida on December 15,1870. Their known children were: Mary, born in 1871; Ida, born in 1873; and Antonio, born in 1879. There were probably additional children. Celestiano died in Palm Beach County in 1818 and Virginia, as she was called, died in Palm Beach County in 1928. Does anyone have access to the 1900, 1910 or 1920 census to see if there were additonal children. Have the cemeteries of Palm Beach County been published? If so, is there a record of their burials or the burials of any of their children? I'm particularly interested in finding any descendants because it is known that this family had the family Bible of the Jesse Bowman HUNTER family. I would verrrrrry much like to get access to the family info in this Bible. Any help appreciated. Bill Hunter 66 Glencairn Avenue Ottawa, ON Canada K1S 1M6

Searching for information on John Robert DAVIS, born bet. 1868-1878, FL; m/Amanda Orella Hunter STYPMAN, born 12 JULY 1878, (her step-father was STYPMAN and she married under that name) 14 OCT 1894, Sebastian, Dade Co., FL (Ref: Dade Co. Marriages to 1900). Their son Robert M. DAVIS was born 28 MAY 1897, West Palm Beach, FL. Would like to hear from persons searching DAVIS, HUNTER, and PALMER surnames in the Counties of Indian River, Saint Lucie, Palm Beach, Okeechobee and Dade. It is possible DAVIS relatives lived in the Orlando area, too. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jim Johnson Lubbock, Texas

If you DO learn that you can access such information, I would ALSO be interested - but in the time period of Jan and Feb 1930. And probably for the same reason.

I have sent this also to the Florida mail list but in case anyone here can help: Can anyone suggest who might help? I have been asked by a friend without internet access if I could try to put some feelers out as she would like to be reconciled with her father, who she last saw in 1986 when he visited the UK for his mother's funeral. His daughter's name is Lisa and she is now 34. Her father's name is Peter Kenyon Medcraft (aged 66/67?) He used to be in the RAF and spent time in Cyprus when Lisa was young. He had previously been stationed at RAF Wyton. He went to Boca Raton in the early 1980s and Lisa thinks he remarried there after her parents divorce. She also believes that he worked for a Limousine Private Hire Company. He is a keen golfer and could be a member of a golf club. He also liked fishing. He did have an aunt called Ann Coles (Husband Jack) who lived in the USA but Lisa does not know her address. Lisa gave me some more information about her father, but none that would help to trace his movements after his move to Florida. Any help would be gratefully received. Ann Thomas Derbyshire England

The Palms was located on the corner of Clematis and Narcissus. It was a real theater with a full stage for performing. There was a long red carpeted entry into the theater. I remember going to the Palms on Saturday morning to watch Superman and Cowboy movies. But, my best memory is when I went to see Elvis. He was appearing in a "country western" show. We had been told he was the latest singer for teenagers and everyone wanted to go. I could not believe how he wiggled and sang at the same time. I was not all that impressed. Little did I know that he would become the "KING" of rock and roll. I was born in Good Sam. The building that faced the US one has long been torn down. I am a native of West Palm Beach since 1939. I enjoyed the picture of the HUT. I have many great memories of the HUT. The trick of backing out your car with the tray still attached to window and not spilling anything was a real art. The HUT was the center of teenage life in the late 50's. My parents always knew where I would be after a football game or the movies. I miss the great hamburgers and coke (real fountain coke). Caren Armstrong West Palm Beach ******** Back in 1957 some of the students at St. Ann’s (which was then grades 1-12) went on safari’s to Air Force Beach (now MacArthur Park) and had ferocious food fights. We would go to the Farmer’s Market on Congress and get a whole bunch of rotten fruit, head off to the midnight movie at The Palms Theatre and caravan after the movie up to Air Force Beach. We camped out all night and had a ball throwing rotten fruit at each other. Later some of the boys at Palm Beach High heard about our safari’s so they started going up there and the food fights got more intense. To protect us from the flying fruit, some of the boys (not us of course) sort of borrowed garbage can lids from around their neighborhood to use as shields. I’ll never forget the story that appeared in the newspaper. “If you are missing your garbage can lid, you’ll probably find it at Air Force Beach.” Peter Shahin West Palm Beach *** I was born in West Palm Beach FL in the late 40's but my parents moved to Miami when I was still an infant. My fondest memories as a child was when we went to visit Uncle Don (DONALD H. BRUTTON and Aunt Helen on Granada Rd. in West Palm). Their home was like a movie set to me with a long sweeping staircase to the second floor of many bedrooms and a sitting room filled with overstuffed chairs and plump pillows. The scent of new fabric always filled the airfrom Aunt Helen's favorite hobby. The other woman of the house was Aunt Helen's mother, LEORA SAPP MARCH, better known as "BaBa" or the "Palm Beach GRANDMA MOSES." She painted in oil from dawn til dusk unless it was time to make more of her famous Orange Marmelade. She was up in years when I first saw her wrinkled but nimble hands. It was hard for me to visualize this frail grandmother as the young woman in a old faded photo: dressed in men's britches standing in the middle of a muddy street in Kokomo, Indiana smoking a cigar! Aunt Helen's children, by her first marriage, were DIANA and DICK BANKS. My cousins-in-law. Both a bit older, Diana was an aspiring dancer and soon whisked herself off to New York. Dick, on the other hand, was an artist (eventually of reknown) who would jump into a small row boat and create paintings of the mansions lining the waterways. He would tie up his dingyand present the owner with the custom portait of their home.By the 70's, he was known for painting the portrait of Rose KENNEDY. Uncle Don BRUTTON was a successful real estate man but whathe was really known for... was inside the trunk of his car.Not one, but two, fishing rods and tackle boxes, so that hecould, at any time, race off to the ONE MILE PIER and throw in a line. The second set of gear? Just in case someone wanted to go with him! It broke my heart when the pier wascut in half by a hurricane. Best fishing on the East Coast. West Palm Beach was a quiet, peaceful town with the hint ofsea air always a breath away. A steady gentle breeze alwaysseemed ready to spare you from the heat but so many trees canopied the roadways and courtyards, you were never really uncomfortable. The ceilings of homes were high; the windows always allowed for a cross breeze. And there was always time for fishing... That's some of my memories of Palm Beach Co, Fla. I wish others would put to text some of their fondest memories of the area. Renee H. Greene Ft. Lauderdale *** Back in the 1950's, Juno Beach had a unique spherical water tower that was sometimes painted to resemble a golf ball. It stood just north of the juncture of US 1 and Hwy A1A near the entry to the Seminole Golf Club. It was a local landmark and a navigation aid to boaters coming in from the islands. It is no longer there. I am curious as to when and why it was removed.
