Cathy, I'm not related to the Price's, but my Rogers branch moved to Florida in the early 1900's to pick oranges. Maybe they thought they were going to make money. I think they first went to the Plant City area, but later settled in Suwannee County and then Columbia County. It would be interesting to know why other families came to Florida. I guess it has always had its appeal.

Some of my BRIDGES from Marlboro and Marion Co.,SC, went first to GA, then to Sumter Co.,FLA-Clinton Hennigan Bridges was a doctor in Coleman, FLA, and died there in the early 1900's. Mildred

Elona, Lewis HORTON of Marion/Horry Counties SC moved to Florida, too, sometime before the flu epidemic of 1919 in which he died. I think that date is correct. He may have moved there soon after 1890. He had a family but all contact with them was lost. Is there some website with the names of those whose lives were lost in the epidemic?

Delaney, I've heard of the epidemic, but have never seen a list of those who died. That would be interesting though if anyone knows of a website or other source.

I doubt anyone really knows. In walking the rural cemetery in Navarro Co, Texas where my GGrandparents are buried , we counted 14 tombstones for 1918-1919 for children under the age of 5.One family lost 3 children within the space of a month. In some rural communities they were so far out that the doctor might not make it before the child (or adult) died. thanks, Tammy ----- Original Message ----- From: Delaney <DelaneyB@mindspring.com> To: <SCMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [SCMARION-L] Re: Surname GALE / GALES > Elona, > > Lewis HORTON of Marion/Horry Counties SC moved to Florida, too, sometime > before the flu epidemic of 1919 in which he died.
