Generation No. 1

1. SHADRACK¹ CHANDLER^1,2 was born Bef. 1756 in Virginia, and died Abt. 1812 in Probably Franklin Coounty, Georgia. He married MARTHA^3,4 Abt. 1777 in Virginia. She was born Abt. 1760 in Virginia.

Notes for SHADRACK CHANDLER:

Shadrack Chandler was born before 1756 in Virginia and died in 1812 in Franklin County, Georgia. He married Martha _____ who was also born in Virginia. The Virginia births are noted in the 1880 Livingston Parish, Louisiana census record of their son Samuel. Shadrack's parents at present are unknown to us.

There were three Shadrack Chandlers listed on the Greenville Co. SC census for 1790 and two on the 1800 census. He most likely was the Shadrick Chandler (note different spelling) in the 1800 census of the Pendleton District (containing Greenville Co.) on page 130 with three sons and six daughters living at home along with five slaves. The number of children match if you assume the 22 year old and 16 old boys are away from home. In fact, on the same page the adjacent name is a James Chandler with wife and child listed of the correct age bracket to be Shadrack's son James listed below. The only discrepancy is in the age bracket for two of Shadrick's younger sons The census has three sons under 10; but from an unverified source we have that two of these were between 10 and 16. Most likely the census is correct (see the listing of these children that follows later)

We know Shadrack Chandler was living in the Pendleton District of South Carolina in 1804 and sold property there and then purchased 400 acres in Franklin County on the banks of Indian Creek. Shadrack executed a deed of sale in 1804 of 100 acres located in the Pendleton District of South Carolina to Reuben Shinault. In November 1804 "Shadrack Chandler of Pendleton Co., S. C." purchased from Thomas Westbrook of Franklin County, Ga. 400 acres (two deeds for 210 acres and 190 acres, respectively) on the waters of Indian Creek. Thus, he was residing in Franklin Co., Georgia in 1804. And by 1808 he had received a bounty of 202 l/2 acres in Wilkerson County, Georgia.

Shadrack lived on Indian Creek until his death in 1812 as shown by the Franklin County tax digest for 1805, 1808, & 1810. He had 6 slaves listed in 1810. After Shadrack's death his executor filed tax returns for the property until 1818. It is instructive of the way our ancestors lived to look at an inventory of Shadrack's possessions at the time of his death in 1812.

Following this, it was noted that Stephen Hughes, doctor to Shadrick Chandler Dec. got one new woman's saddle and Right Berry, doctor to Shadrick Chandler got two new men's saddles (for services rendered, I suppose). The inventory was signed by J. Gibbs, George Thrasher(he only made his mark), Stephen Westbrook, and Esaias Harbour. This was submitted to the Honorable Court of Ordinary, November 2, 1812, Edmund Henley, James Allen, and Joseph Chandler, Esquires Present.

On Sept. 8, 1818 Jeddediah Chandler, Daniel Chandler, Samuel Chandler, William Chandler, heirs of Shadrack Chandler, sold to Daniel Molder the 400 acres on Indian Creek. William's signature was assigned by Thomas Mayes.

Shadrack Chandler's will was dated April 5, 1812 and proved July, 1812. It listed the widow, Martha, son James Chandler, daughter Elizabeth Mullican, sons, Jedediah, Samuel, Daniel and William, daughters Mary Westbrook, Tabitha Gordon, Susanna and Peggy, Sally and Martha. In the 1818 tax digest Jedediah is listed with 3 slaves.

Shadrack and Martha Chandler's children are:

1. James Chandler b. 1778*

2. Elisabeth Chandler b. 1780* m. _____ Mullican

3. Jedediah Chandler b. 1784* m. Sarah Macky

4. Daniel Chandler b. 1786* m. Katherine Harbour 10 Nov. 1828

11. Sally Chandler b. 1798 *

12. Martha Chandler b. 1800* m. James Freeman 20 Nov. 1828

* Of the birth dates above, only that of Samuel is known to be correct.

Information pointing to Shadrick as being the father of Samuel Chandler comes from Franklin Co., Georgia Deed records pages 181-183, and pages 53-54 indicate he was from Pendelton, Co., South Carolina

From the Jim Reeves' Chandler database we confirm the above and get his wife's name and the names and birth dates of his many children.

One is known to be another Martha Chandler, daughter of Zachariah Chandler. It could be a duplicate entry.

5. SAMUEL J² CHANDLER (SHADRACK¹)^{49,50,51,52,53,54} was born October 27, 1796 in South Carolina, and died September 2, 1882 in Louisiana. He married ANNA EFFERSON^{55,56,57,58,59,60} September 20, 1821 in Amite County, Mississippi. She was born July 12, 1805 in Georgia, and died September 16, 1870 in Louisiana.

Notes for SAMUEL J CHANDLER:

Samuel Chandler was born in South Carolina, the son of Shadrack and Martha Chandler. His tombstone shows his birth date as October 27, 1803, an obvious error, since the 1850 and 1880 census records of Livingston Parish, Louisiana indicate his birth year as 1796. The 1860 census record states he is 65 years old when the census was taken.

In his application for a pension for the War of 1812 Samuel Chandler stated that he served as a private in Captain A. C. Saffold's Co. Georgia Militia from Nov. 21, 1814 until May 21, 1815. His pension was approved for $8.00 per month on February 4, 1871. He applied for 80 acres of bounty land on December 17, 1850 for which he stated he was due by the fact of his military service.

As noted above, on Sept. 8, 1818 Samuel Chandler joined with his brothers and sold the 400 acres of their father's estate on the banks of Indian Creek in Franklin County, Georgia.

After selling the land in Georgia, Samuel evidently moved to Amite Co., Mississippi where he married Anna Efferson on September 20, 1821 . Samuel is shown in the 1830 Census living in Lawrence County Mississippi.

The family moved to Louisiana in 1836, living 10 miles north of Albany. In 1841 Samuel moved from the Albany home to a site on the Amite River named Chandler Bluff near Watson, Louisiana. He purchased this land from the US Government November 15, 1836. It is situated near the confluence of Chandler Branch with the Little Natalbany. Chandler Branch is now know and designated on maps as Smary Branch. Military Bounty Land Warrant 20087 for 80 acres from the Act of 1850 and Military Bounty Land Warrant 44590 for 80 acres from the Act of 1855 were lands applied for by Samuel under the War of 1812 service.

According to her tombstone, Anna Efferson was born July 12, 1816 (this date is obviously wrong, since she was married in 1821) and died September 15, 1870. The 1850 census of Livingston Parish, La. indicates her birth would be in 1805 and that she was born in Georgia. The 1860 census states she was born in La.(a probable error) She is buried in the Amite Baptist Church Cemetery in Livingston Parish.

In the 1850 & 1860 censuses Samuel is listed as a farmer. In the 1880 census he is listed as 84 years of age with his widowed daughter Margaret living with him. Samuel Chandler died September 2, 1882. He is buried in the Amite Baptist Cemetery.

Samuel and Anna Chandler's succession papers were filed September 29, 1882 in Livingston Parish Louisiana.. It stated that they left the following heirs, issue of their marriage, Elizabeth Chandler, now the wife of Kinchen Stewart, residing in your parish, Shadrack Chandler, an absentee, Malinda Chandler, surviving widow of Efferson Stewart, Sarah Ann Chandler wife of William J. Allen, James Chandler, and Margaret Chandler, now the wife of Hiram Curry, Tabitha Chandler, now the wife of George S. Minton, all of said parish, Daniel Chandler, deceased, represented by Samuel & John Chandler now majors & two daughters, both minors, and Mary M. Chandler, wife of Joseph A. Minton, petitioners. They show that petitioners are the owners of three interests in the estate of said Mrs. Annie Chandler deceased, one by inheritance and two by purchase, viz.: that of Tabitha Chandler, wife of George L. Minton, and Mrs. Margaret Chandler, now widow Curry. That petitioners purchased the interest of the said Tabitha on the __ day of _____ 1872, when she, the said Tabitha, was the widow of Henry Settoon deceased and that they purchased the said interest of Mrs. Margaret Curry sometime during the year 1872. Mr. W. T. Carter, Attorney at Law, was asked to be appointed attorney. ad hoc to represent Shadrack Chandler an absentee.

Notes for ANNA EFFERSON:

Anna Efferson was born in Georgia. Her tombstone states her birth as July 12, 1816 (this date is obiviously wrong since she was married in 1821 and died September 15, 1870. The 1850 census of Livingston Parish, Louisiana indicates her birth would be in 1805. The 1860 census states she was born in Louisiana ( a probable error). Anna Efferson married Samuel Chandler on September 20, 1821 in Amite County Mississippi. She is buried in the Amite Baptist Church Cemetery in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.

She moved with her husband and family to an unsettled area south of Bassinger near Lake Okeechobee in October 1896. The family built a barn shelter and lived in it for three years. Then they had a log raising which lasted three day. Settlers from Bassinger and Ft. Drum, eighteen miles to the

north, came and helped they raise their house. This log house is still standing having been modernized

with wooden panels covering the logs. A granddaughter lives in the home now. A large two story home

was erected east of the original house was built later. At the time of the log raising they fenced two and

one half acres were fenced with cabbage palmetto logs in which they could grow vegetables. The first

post office was established in their home in 1902. Their youngest son, Cornelius, born March 17, 1901 was the first white child born in the new settlement. When a school was established for their children

Excerpts from an article by Alma Hetherington in The Okeechobee News June 12, 1959 Page 4

End of an Era ---A trip on Sunday to Okeechobee over Highway 441.

The trip was made to attend the funeral of a favorite cousin, Mrs. Adline Clements. Her death closed the chapter in life, for although thre other members of the family are left, the old family home will not now be needed, and has been put up for sale.

It is the home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Raulerson, pioneers who before the turn of the century, blazed the trail from Basinger across flatwood and cabbage woods to The Bend, formed by Taylor's Creek, and buil a log cabin home.

They lived to see their little settlement known by three names and situated in three different counties. First, The Bend, then Tantie after a dedicated school teacher, Tantie Huckeby, and finally Okeechobee after the large lake to the south.

Aunt Ann Raulerson, loved by all who knew her, a mother to all humanity, through her pioneering years, gave home and welcome to travelers who came through the newly opened section of Florida, whether tramp or potentate, her hospitality was unquestioning, and when admonished by her adoring family for her generosity which knew no bounds, she answered with her sweet knowing smile, "They may be angels unawares."

She will always be remembered and revered for her deep love of all things good, for her trust in mankind, her womanly dignity, her many good neighborly deeds. For her well-kept old fashioned garden with plumbago, crepe myrtle and cape jasmine growing in a cleanswept yard.

Her kitchen with pots miraculously full of mouth-watering dishes and a table never empty. She knew the happiness of watching her family and friends enjoy her own favorite recipes, among them swamp cabbage, preserves and guava cobbler.

The mother of eight children, she lived well on into her eighties, and had her husband lived nine days more, they would have been married seventy years. The three children left now after Adline's passing, are Faith (Mrs. Ellis Meserve), of Okeechobee, and Harmon and Cornelius Raulerson of Miami.

A last look at the old home on Parrot Avenue built 45 years ago, and sitting just in front of the log cabin home (modernized decades ago), as the homeward journey started, brought back both sad and happy memories. And as we drove across the Kissimmee prairie, the afternoon sun was dipping into the west on beyond the river of the same name. Stretches of pasture land sped by, clumps of cabbage palmetto, oak and pine. The day had been a heartache--had also held love for family members not often seen. But an era was ending--the old family home might soon belong to strangers.

Obituary The Okeechobee News December 3, 1948 Page 1

Mrs. Raulerson Pioneer Resident Passes Nov. 27

Mrs Louisiana Chandler Raulerson, wife of the late Peter Raulerson, passed away early Saturday morning at her home on Parrott Avenue, at the age of 87. Her passing is mourned by all who knew her over the many years, she having been a most lovable character in her affectionate manner toward everyone.

Mrs Raulerson was born in Ft Meade, Florida, in March, 1861 , and moved to Basinger while quite young. It was at Basinger that she met and married Peter Raulerson who at that time operated extensive cattle holdings.

Peter Raulerson was the first cattleman to range in this area, he having fenced in the then open range for about eleven miles across from the Kissimmee River to Taylor Creek, embracing the area known as the "Bend". Later they built the first home in Tantie, now known as Okeechobe, at the present of the homestead on South Parrott Avenue. This was a log house, and is still standing at the rear of the main home, although it has since received a modern covering.

Eight children were born of this marriage, and of these five are still living; Mrs E M Meserve, Mrs Adeline Clements and Melville B Raulerson of Okeechobee, and Harmon and Connie Raulereson, both of Miami. Seventy-two grand and great grandchildren also survive this union.

"Anna", the name by which she was affectionately known by her many friends, was at hme to any who came and her life was one of those grand examples of devotion to the needs of family and friends. A devout Christian, she was attentive to the requests of all with whom she came in contact.

She housed the first school teachers of "Tantie" and with her husband, was instrumental in establishing the first schools in this county.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Primitive Baptist church. Those officiating were Van Lightsey and M M Martin, with the Yates Funeral Home of Fort Pierce in charge. Floral arrangements were many and beautiful, testifying to the love and esteem with which she was regarded.

Burial was in the family plot at the Okeechobee Cemetery, she being placed beside her late husband who preceded her by a little overe a year.

In the passing of "Anna", this community loses, not only a citizen and friend but a person whose warmth of heart spread to each and every one fortunate enough to have known her.

The active pallbeareres were: Cary Hardin, Arlie Underhill, Frank Thomas, Jeff Smith, Calvin Drawdy, Bob Lightsey.

Honorary pall bearers: Henry Hancock, Henry Bass, Sam Davis, Matthew Tomlinson, G C Durrance, Will Hardin.

three, the county having been divided and renamed over the years. Peter and Louisiana were instrumental in getting the first school organized in 1898. It was a cabbage palmetto shack and served

six children, some having been borrowed from other districts in order to have the required quota for a

school. Peter Raulerson was appointed postmaster of Tante, as the new settlement was called, on June 7, 1902. He served as a mail carrier for eighteen months for free from Ft. Drum to Tante in order to establish a star route. It was one mail in and one mail out each week. He served as a County Commissioner for St. Lucie County before Okeechobee County was created in 1917. The City of Okeechobee (name changed from Tante) was incorporated June 4, 1915 and Peter Raulerson was elected and served as the first mayor. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church all his life. It was through his efforts that the first church of that denomination was organized and started in Okeechobee. He maintained his cattle herd until the age of eighty-eight when the cattle were disposed of.

Peter Raulerson died at Okeechobee October 8, 1947 and was buried in the Evergreen Cemetery. If he had lived nine more days, he and his wife would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

Peter Raulerson, Pioneer

In the pasing of Peter Raulerson at his home here last Thursday morning Okeechobee lost its first settler and pioneer citizen. He was 90 years old and most of that time was spent in what is now Okeechobee County.

Mr Raulerson's parents moved to Florida from charlotte County, Georgia, in 1839 and settled in Polk County. when he was a young man he moved from Polk County to Bassinger and after a few years there he took his herd of cattle and moved with them to what he called the "Bend" which is the t erritory West of Taylor's Creek and North of Lake Okeechobee around to Kissimme River. He came here in 1890 while his family remained at Bassinger until 1895 when they moved here to join him.

At that time his was the only white family that lived here and the old log house they lived in is still standing back of the house he later built and lived in until he passed away last thursday morning.

Mr Rauleson served as a County Commissioner for St Lucie County in the early days before Okeechoee County was created.

He was the first postmaster and served as such when this was known as tanti. After the City of Okeechobee was incorporated Mr Raulerson was elected and served at the towns first maor.

In those early days it was due to Mr Raulerson's efforts that the first school was organized here and then it was he who kept the schools running each year until the community had sufficient people for the school to go forward.

Mr Raulerson was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church all of his life and it was due to his efforts that the first church of that denomination was organized and started work here.

Had he lived one more week he and Mrs Raulerson would have reached their seventieth wedding anniversary.

Funeral Services were conducted for him at the Primitive Baptist Church here Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock with Elder O K Sheffield of Fort Pierce, officiating. Following the services at the church the body was laid to rest in the Okeechobee cemetery.

He married MAUDE ELNORA SNELL^{817,818,819,820,821,822,823,824,825,826,827,828,829,830} July 4, 1894 in Kissimmee, Florida.

Notes for ALLEN LUTHER CHANDLER:

Allen Luther Chandler was born November 29, 1963 in Ft. Meade, Florida, the son of Shadrack and

Adeline (Tucker) Chandler. The Chandler family is shown living in Polk County from 1864 to 1874, based on legal records. In the late 1870's he moved with his family to the lower Kissimmee Valley, in the Bassinger area, in Brevard county. Allen Chandler left the family home when he was 18 and lived

with his sister Louisiana Chandler Raulerson, and her husband Peter Raulerson. They were living in

the same area. During that time Allen went to the Everglades and hunted alligators, otters and plume birds. He would stay until he had a boat full of skins and they come home, selling them and buying cattle with the proceeds. At the age of 30 he had over 1000 head of cattle. He met his future wife, Maude Elnora Snell, on the occasion of returning from a hunting trip. She was a school teacher at Bassinger, and was boarding at the home of his sister, Louisiana Raulerson. Maude E. Snell was born Nov 27, 1871 in Duluth, Minnesota, on November 27, 1871. She had moved to Haines City, Florida in 1885 and a few years later to Kissimmee, Florida. Allen and Maud were married July 4, 1894 in Kissimmee, Florida. After their marriage they lived in Fort Drum, Florida on a cattle ranch for four years. Allen then

sold his cattle, due to health problems. He then moved to Kissimmee and bought a hardware store and an orange grove. Allen and Maud Chandler and their 3 children are shown on the 1900 census of Osceola County. The family lived there until the summer of 1906. In 1903 Allen Chandler bought 20 acres of land in the Redland section of Dade County in 1903 and planted an orange grove the next year. The family moved to Benson, Florida in 1906. Benson is now known as Howard and is 15 miles south of Miami. Allen had 25 acres of pineapples until the Cuban pineapples lowered the price so that there was

no profit. In 1908 the family moved to Silver Palm in the Redlands and Maud taught school. They moved to Miami in 1909 for the children to go to school. In 1913 Allen and Maud moved back to Silver Palm and built a two story house which remained their home the rest of their lives. They became leaders of the local Methodist Church. The hurricane of 1926 destroyed most of his grove. When all the banks closed after the "boom" he lost all of his life savings. He had about 18 acres of grove left.

He had been in ill health since the early 1920's. He died August 19, 1932.

Notes for MAUDE ELNORA SNELL:

Maud Elnora Snell was born in Duluth, Minnesota November 27, 1871. She was the daughter of Leonidas Newton and Mamie (Jarrett) Snell. Maud had a severe case of rheumatic fever at about 10 years of age which left her with a weak heart. Her health was affected by this all her life. She moved with her family to Haines City, Florida in 1885. The family later moved to Kissimmee, Florida. Maude became a school teacher at about 18 years of age and continued to teach until her marriage. She was making about $40 a month when she stated teaching school in Bassinger. She boarded with the pupil's families and was staying with Peter and Louisiana Raulerson when she met Allen Chandler. He was the

brother of Louisiana Raulerson. They married in Kissimmee July 4, 1894. After marriage they live in

Fort Drum, Florida for about four years, where Allen had a cattle ranch. Allen sold his cattle and the family moved to Kissimmee around 1898. Allen purchased a hardware store and orange grove. Maud

opened a millenary shop in part of her home. Maud was a very devout Christian and interested in missionary work. She had tried to become a missionary prior to her marriage, but was not accepted due

to her heart condition. One of Maud and Allen's first resolutions upon marriage was to give enough money to the Methodist Missionary society every year to support a missionary in a foreign field. They lived up to this even though it was very hard. In the early 1890's Maud established and was the first President of the first Epworth League in the South at Kissimmee, Florida. She continued her work in the League, being State Treasurer for years until about 1906. She was active in the Methodist Missionary Society for the rest of her live. The family moved to Benson in Dade County in 1906. Maud taught the three children while living there. In 1908 they moved to Silver Palm in the Redlands, where Maud taught the first to fourth grades at school. She taught school at various sites in the Miami area for several years. In 1913 Maud and Allen built a two story house in Silver Palm, where they would live the rest of their lives. After Allen's death on August 9, 1932, Maud was able to go to China. Her son, Luther furnished funds to enable her to visit her brother, Dr. John A. Snell, head of Soo Chow Hospital, Soo Chow, China. He had been a Medical Missionary to China for 40 years. Maud was in China from 1932 to 1935 and taught Chinese girls the English language. While on her trip to China Maud painted pictures, which she continued to do the rest of her life. On the way home, in January 1936 she went through the Suez Canal, stopping at Egypt and to Palestine for the Easter season. She traveled on to Greece, Italy and London. After she was home she lived with her daughter Flora for several years. Later she moved back to her home and rented out rooms. She painted hundreds of pictures including a picture in oil for every Methodist parsonage from Ft. Pierce to Key West. She painted two large pictures of the Silver Palm Methodist Church. She suffered a stroke in December 1951 and died October 12, 1952.

'Aunt Flora' Walker Retires; Sound of School Bell Ends 44 Year Classroom Career

by Virginia Williams

In the 44 years she has taught over 1,400 pu;ils in the Redland area, Aunt Flora" Walker has taught three generations--mother or father--their children--now the grandchilfren of her first pupils.

But the school bell rang for the last time for her when school closed Friday at Leisure City Elementary School for "Aunt Flora" is retiring.

"I do not want to quit teaching school as children have been my main source of pride and joy" she admits.

The Florida law requires her to retire at 70 years of age. However, she said, "I will still have many happy and proud moments watching the accomplishments of my pupils."

How did Mrs. Walker acquire the beloved name of "Aunt Flora"? She recalls it came early in her teaching career when some of her pupils were her nieces and nephews. "they called me "aunt Flora" and the name has stayed with me during my 44 years teaching career."

Teaching three generations has enabled "Aunt Flora" to make some comparisons. Among them are: Today's childrenhave a better fund of knowledge. She attributes this to the modern mode of travel and the television.

Mrs. Walker has been one of the outstanding teachers in her field as she has watched the area around her grow from a sparsely settled farm area into a populated area of some 80,000 residents.

Mrs. Walker and her husband Edward S. Walker live in the family home in Goulds.

"Aunt Flora" was born on a cattle ranch June 24, 1897 in Fort Drum, Florida. She is the daughter of the late Allen and Maud Chandler, one of the pioneer families of the Redlands.

She is the youngest of three children. Her sister, Grace--Mrs. Goodloe Warden, lives in Manchester, Tenn. Her brother, Luther Chandler, who died a few years ageo, was a successful tomato grower and a lime and avocado grove owner. he was very active in agricultural improvements in Florida.

Her father was the largest cattle owner in that part of the country. When he had to give up his cattle business on account of his health, the family moved to Kissimmee, Fla. where "Aunt Flora" went to the primary department of the Kissimmee Elementary School.

The family moved to Howard, Fla. and then to Silver Palm in the Redlands in 1906. Here her father owned a pineapple patch, an orange grove and grew tomatoes. But after a couple of years they moved to Miami where the children could attend a better school.

"Aunt Flora" went to Miami High School for two years, then went to Florida State College for Women in Tallassee for her junior year in high school. She graduated from Middle Tennessee State Normal in Murfreesboro, Tenn. with a normal degree in 1916. Then she attended Peabody Summer School three summer sessions. The next year she worked iwht her father in the tomato fields as there was no manual help on account of World War I. She says, This was one of the happiest years of my life.

She went to summer schools and night classes after she started teaching and earned a __I degree and a BS degree in education, and a masters degree in administration and supervision from the University of Miami.

"Aunt Flora's" teaching career started at Redland Elementary School in 1918 at that time the largest consolidated school in the world. She stopped teaching for several years in 19-- when she adopted a baby. She went back to the classroom in 1931.

For 37 years she taught in Redland, most of the time in the firast and second grades. Then she traveled to Leisure City Elementary School to be with the principal, Floyd M. Pa---with whom she had taught before and admired so much. she has taught the second grade at Leisure City School for the past seven years.

Now that school has "let out" for Aunt Flora, she doesn't plan to be idle. She has many hobbies such as china painting, oil painting and ceramics and she likes to write poems for her children and illustrate them.

Since a small child whe has been a member of the Methodist Church and at present is an active member of Silver Palm Methodist Church. She is a charter member of Naranja Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and was worthy matron ot that chapter in 1928. She is a member of the Homestead Art Club and the Redland Citizenship Association.

Her first husband, Hugo C. Vihlen, whom she married in 1921, was also a Redland Pioneer family. he died in 1945.

For Mrs Walker, the end of a long and rewarding career has ended. She was compelled to retire at 70, but she said, "I will always be intersted in the welfare of my children."

"Uncle Charley" as he was familiarly known, was fifty-egtht years of age, born at Fort Meade, and his fahter, S. M. Chandler, orignally from Louisiana moved to bassenger when he was a small boy and when he became of age, was married to Miss Ida Raulerson, daughter of N. R. Raulerson, at Bassenger. After a few year's residence in Bassenger he moved to Okeechobee, where he acquired big real restate interests and a large herd of cattle. Taking up a homestead in Okeechobee which he has lived on fro a number of years and for fifteen years has been identified with the progressiveness that has transformed this section from the wilderness to what it is today.

For years, "Uncle Charley" carried on a butchering business, buying and selling of cattle, and maintained his orange grove interests in which he was successful, and always prospered through square and honest dealings with his fellowman.

Besides leaving a host of sorrowing friends and acquaintances, he leaves a large family to mourn his death; his wife, who has been the lifetime companion, and thirteen children: Mrs. Ida Raulerson, his wife: and married daughters, Mrs. Bertis Tatum, Ft.

Seldom has a death occurred in so large a family where the entire immediate family was present, as in the death of Mr. Chandler. As all his children were at his bedside when death came.

For twenty-five years, Mr. Chandler has been identified with churh affiliations and living a true christian life, which is an honor, and leaves as a monument a character of honesty and uprightness that will live forever.

The funeral services were conducted yesterday at 11 o'clock, at the cemetery by Rev W. O. Moon amid the largest gathering ever to be at the cemetery, to pay their last respects to their departed friend and citizen.

For years, Mr. Chandler's genial business affiliations have so lilnked him with the people of Okeechobee, that he will be missed by everyone, and no peple ever sorrowed in the death of a citizen more deeply than the friends and acquaintances of Mr. Chandler.

The News editor extends to the bereaved family his heartfelt sympathy in this sad hour.

Obituary June 11, 1943

Carl Walker died suddenly last Friday afternoon from a heart attack. He had just come out of Raulerson's store and got in his car to start home when the attack hit him and he rushed up stairs to the office of Dr Dudley where he died a few minutes later.

Carl Frederick Walker was born March 24, 1895, at Bassinger and lived in Okeechobee County all of his life, maintaining his legal residence at Bassinger all of the time. In 1938 he was elected a member of the Board of County Commissioners from that district and was reelected in 1940. At the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners in January 1941 he was elected chairman of the board for the two year period. In the election held last year he was again elected from his district without opposition and was again elected chairman of the board in January 1943 for another two year term.

Carl Walker was known and well liked by everybod in the county and numbered his friends by his acquaintances. Intimes of trouble he was one of the first to offer assistance and it has been truthfully said that he was generous to a fault. he never turned anyone down that needed assistance and his sudden death left the entire county shocked over the loss. He will be sorely missed in this county.

He is survived by his father and mother, Mr and Mrs W F Walker of Bassinger, one brother, Ben, of Canal Point, two sisters, Mrs Harle Williams of Okeechobee, and Mrs Lorena Thompson of Bassinger, and his widow, Mrs Clara Walker of Adrian, Mich., and many other relatives and friends throughout the county.

A short funeral service was held at the home of Mr and Mrs Harle williams Monday afternoon at one o'clock and the body was carried to Bassinger where another service was held at the cemetery with Rev Hollenberg, pastor of the Church of the Brethren, in charge. Burial was in the family cemetery at Bassinger with the members of the Canal Point, and the Masonic Lodge of Okeechobee of which he had long been a member in charge.

The pall bearers were C E Drawdy, Ernest Hilliard, B C Swain and Eddie Bass, members of the Board of County Comissioners who were serving with him at the time of his death, and sheriff L L Conrad and Clerk of the Circuit Court Roy R Raulerson.

And thus another of the Okeechobee landmarks has passed on to his final reward.

Underhill--legend dies at 89

Deland

William Amory Underhill, who had been championing Florida's interests in Washington, D.C., since the Roosevelt administration, died Saturday at his home inDeLand.

Underhill, an attorney and noted political insider, was 89.

During his long career, Underhillrepresented many individuals and associations in the state, including Florida Citrus Mutual. He helped open the Florida House, a gathering place for Floridians in Washington, and served as a mentor over the years to dozens of Stetson University students.

"I've read about great legends, but I was lucky enough to know this one," said T. Wayne Bailey, a Stetson professor and longtime friend of Underhill's

Born in Basinger near Lake Okeechobee, Underhill studied at stet's undergraduate and law schools. Aftergraduating, he practed law in Deland until World War II, when he served four years in the navy.

In his last weeks in the Navy, Underhill worked as an aide to then Sen.Harry S. Truman, who was campaigning for the vice presidency. When Truman won, Underhill got his first job in Washington, reviving the Young Democrats.

Soon after that, Underhill got a job in the alien property section of the Justice Department, where he stayed eight years, rising to assistant attorney general. In 1952 he opened a law office in Washington, where he practiced until his death.

He was treasurer and founding member of the Florida House, a trustee emeritus of Stetson; chairman emeritus of the board of Overseers at the Stetson University College of Law and president of the Bert Fish Foundation.

Underhill, who would never call himself a lobbyist, represented the interests of individuals, estates and trade associations. He kept the Florida Congressional delegation informed of agency decisions affecting citrus, arranged meetings of growers, lawmakeres, importers and exporters.

But despite his influence, Underhill had few enemies.. Instead he was known in Washington as a charmer and a gentleman. He held weekly meetings with students and other floridians visiting Washington -- an idea that came from the 10 a.m. coffee breaks in the DeLand drug store in the old days. He also sent each Florida House and Senate member a cake on his or her birthday.

The late Gov. Lawton Chiles once said of Underhill: "He's just kind, like you would say about your aunt. I don't think we get to run into so many gentlemen of the old school. And he is such a gentleman."

Obituary August 23, 1935 Okeechobee News Page 1

Ed Underhill Dies Suddenly At Home Sat.

This community was shocked Saturday afternoon when shortly after the nnon hour the report spread that Ed Underhill had suddenly died at his home on Parrot avenue. Few people, other than his family and a few relatives and friends knew that Ed suffered any serious ailment. However, he had been a sufferer from severe attacks of indigestion and heart trouble for sometime, though, from all physical appearances he looked healthy and hearty to those who did not know that he was not well.

Eating a hearty, noon-day meal he retired to his front veranda, as was his usual custom, and taking a seat he filled his pipe and was preparing to light it, when his son Steve heard his pipe drop to the floor. After a moment or two Steve, who was reading in a front room, stepped to the door and saw his father with his head back and the pipe lying in the floor. He thought his father had dozed off before he had lighted his pipe. As he started back he heard his father gasp and he went to him. He gave another gasp for breath and then quickly expired.

Ed Underhill was a kindly, unoffensive citizen. No citizen could say he had ever suffered from deeds and transactions with Ed. He was generally liked by everyone and his sudden death was the source of many general remarks of sincere regret at his death.

He was born October 3, 1882, at Bassenger. Beside his wife and one son, Steve, he leaves two brothers, and five sisters to mourn his departure. The brothers are Wilifred, now in New York state, and Joe. The sisters are Mrs. Frank Walker, Mrs. Will Walker, Mrs. Joe Walker, Mrs. John Thomas and Mrs. Kyle Hilliard. One sister, the late Mrs. J. Hardy Walker, Sr. died many years ago.

Death came about 1:30 p.m. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First Baptist church, Rev. Sam Durrance delivering the funeral address, while Mrs. Goldie Durrance, Sam Davis and Judge Hancock rendered special music. After the funeral services the body was carried to the Basenger cemetery and there laid to rest in the family burial plot. The pall bearers were six nephews, Ben Walker, Henry Walker, Clayton Walker, J. Hardy Walker, Jr., Walter Walker and Ernest Hilliard.

To the bereaved relatives we extend our sincere condolences.

Pioneer Mother Recalls Hardships and Happy Times

Mrs. Lula Curry Russell, now 90 years of age, is a Florida pioneer. She was the wife of one of the first lake hunters in the Okeechobee area. She now lives with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Curry in Punta Gorda.

Lula is the mother of the first white child born in the Okeechobee region. The daughter is Albertie Curry Jones, born December 11, 1907 and resides in Punta Gorda.

At the age of 16, Lula married Will Curry. Approxiately a year later they joined Will's brother on a hunting trip to Okeechobee. Then and there they decided to make their home in that beautiful but rugged county.

In spite of many hardships, Lula and her family remained in the lake area for 50 years.

Lula recalls living in a tent, with her "kitchen" located under a tree. Her cooking facilities consisted of a wooden framework filled with sand, or just an open fire. The utensils were of heavy cast iron.

Handling a row boat and a gun was learned early by Lula. Many times she would take the children on visits to her nearest neighbor, 12 miles away. They traveled by boat and camped by the river bank. "These were the funtimes," Lula recalls.

The Currys had 10 children---only eight grew to adulthood. Mr. Curry is deceased as i Lula's second husband. R. W. Russell.

Fish and game, hunted practically in their front yard, made up the main part of their meals.

The family's income came from selling skins of otters, coons and alligators. During the spring months egret feathers were sold. These feathers were in great demand.

After curing alligator hides and furs, the family would make monthly trips to buy great qualities of flour, sugar, coffee, cloth and other staples. Clothes and dresses were made from goods of unbleached materials.

It was a rather lonely existence for Lula and her family. Occasionally there would be visits from other hunters and friendly Seminole Indians.

In 1910 a hurricane hit the lake and destroyed the pine log houses of most of the settlers. Lula and family left Curry Island and moved to LaBelle. The island still carries the family name of "Curry."

Lula's family now consists of children, Frank Walter and Clarence Curry, Hattie Waldron, Albertie Jones and Ruby Kirkland. All live in Punta Gorda. She has 23 grandchildren and more than 50 great-grandchildren.

Notes for HARRIET CURRY:

Article on Hattie Waldron Oldest Punta Gorda native dead at 98.

She lived through six major hurricanes and gave birth to seven sons. Hattie Curry Waldron, who at 98 ws the oldest-living native of Punta Gorda, died Sunday.

"I guess I'm what you call a Florida cracker", she told the Sun last year as she prepared to celebrate her birthday. Family members joined her in Punta Gorda's Ponce de Leon Park for a potluck lunch.

Hattie came into the world July 20, 1903, the fourth of nine children born to the union of Lula Gant and William Jones Curry. Hattie's father fished and hunted for a living during her childhood years, moving his large family from town to town by boat or wagon.

Hattie's younger sister by five years, Bertie Curry Jones, was the first white female born in Okeechobee. She lives in Punta Gorda, as does Hattie's other surviving sister, Ruby Curry Kirkland.

"Hattie never got a whipping Kirkland said as the family prepared to celebrate Hattie's 98th birthday. Momma made up for it with me. I always got whipped."

Hard times were no stranger to hattie. She survived six major hurricanes. She lived in Okeechobee when the hurricane of 1910 came through. She later moved to Moore Haven and was there when the 1926 and 1928 hurricanes devasted the area.

Hattie's last move was in 1935, returning to Punta Gorda, where she would experience the hurricanes of 1944,1947 and the rampage of Hurricane Donna in 1960.

Hattie married Juddie Waldron on May 26, 1922. They raised seven sons before he died in 1976. She retired as a homemaker and lived at the Life Care Center of Punta Gorda.

Other survivors include five sons, Oliver "Buck"(Marjorie Waldron of Punta Gorda, Robert "Artie Waldron of Sarasota, Fla., Tommy Waldron of Indiana, Ernest (Judy) Waldron and Newton (June) Waldron, both of North Fort Myers, Fla. and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Punta Gorda Chapel of Kays-Ponger/Royal Palm Funeral Home, with Dr. J. R. Busky officiating. The family will receive freinds from 11 a.m. until the time services begin at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Indian Springs Cemetery.

The Okeechobee News Obituary May 25, 1934

Mrs Raulerson Dies duddenly At Orlando

Death Followed Operation In Orlando Hospital; Community Shocked

Late Monday afternoon this community was shocked with the news that Mrs Texas M Raulerson, wife of Lewis M Raulerson, had died suddenly and unexpectedly following an operation at the Orange General Hospital in Orlando, Only a compartively few people knew that she was ill. Death came about 6"30 p.m. while her daughter Mrs Beulah Pitts, was giving her a blood transfusion, both laying side by side at the time onthe operating table. And at her bedside was her distraught and praying husband, son Charlie and sister, mrs W E Raulerson. Mr Raulerson, Charley and Mrs Pitts had gone to Orlanod early Monday to be there when the operation was performed, but Dr Crist, the operating surgeon had determined to operate as quickly as pooible and did so at 8:30 a.m., instead of at 9:30.

The oeration was of a most serious nature. And, it might have geen successful had it not been for the terrible loss of blood. following the operation which lasted two hours, Mrs Raulerson came out from under the anesthetic in the afternoon, but so weak she could hardly talk. she recognized her husband and children with a smile and a shake of the hand. soon afterwards she was taken back to the operating room for blood transfusion from her daughter, but it was of no avail. The operation was performed by Dr Crist, a noted surgeon, after Mrs Raulerson had consulted with other physicians, each of whom advised the operation.

The commmunity is saddened. The husband and children are griefstricken. But a good Christian woman, a good wife and a most excellent mother has gone to her final reward to await the day that will unite her again with her husband, children and numerous friends. Six years ago she united with the Primitive Baptist church, in which faith she was reared. Her Christian activities extended far beyond that of her church membership. Almost everyone in every walk of life has been the recipient either of her gentle kindness or consoling words, or if in need, of her charity of both heart and goods.

Mrs Raulerson was born Feb. 4, 1885 in DeSoto county, near Joshua's creek. She was the daughter of Mr and Mrs G W Drawdy, Sr. and moved with her parents to this section when she was a girl, where she met and married Lewis Raulerson May 20, 1901. Immediately after their marriage they moved to the place now occupied by her husband and children. On this place was born eight children of this union of happy married life. One, Robie L., the first born died when small. The children left to mourn her untimely departure are: Hiram, Mrs Beaulah Pitts, Roy, Charles, Mildred, Myrtle and L. M., Jr. besides these close relatives four brothers and three sisters had preceded her into the Great Beyond, and three sisters living are Mrs W. E. Raulerson, Mrs F. M. Mobley and Mrs R. L. Brewer. Mrs Brewer and Mrs Mobley were both ill in bed, but both attended the funeral service, under great mental and physical strain. Little L. M. Jr., also was ill.

Rev. Ben Crawford, pastor of the Local Primitive Baptist church, and his brother Tom, preached the funeral services. Both of these consecrated men left the bedside of their father in jacksonville, who is not expected to live, to help in the last sad rites and to console the family. The funeral services began at 2 o'clock Wwednesday afternoon at the church. The church was packed and croweded, possibly 500 people were outside who could not get in to hear the services. Following the body to the cemetery was 124 cars loaded with sorrowing friends and rrelatives, numbering perhaps 500 people.

We have never before seen so many beautiful floral offerings. They came from nearly every family in town and from friends everywhere. Many floral offerings arrived even after the funeral from sorrowing out-of-town friends. The room in which the deceased lay was banked with wreaths and bouquets. It required two trucks to carry them to the church and grave, and then scores of beautiful floral designs were left at the residence.

The funeral oration was delivered from the 46th Psalm. Following the services hundres of people filed through the church and paid their last sad respects to the deceased. Laying in a casket, banked with beautiful floral offerings, she looked as natural in death as in life. She looked as if she had just dropped off to a sweet sleep with a smile almost hovering on her face. At the church the songs,"In the Land Where We Will Never Grow Old," "Sweet Rest," and "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be," was rendered low and sweet by the choir. The Rev. Crawford, Miss Alice Polk and Miss Lois Clements sand, "My Saviour's Love." At the graveside "shall We Gather at the River," was rendered. The singing was beautiful. The first three hymns were favorites of Mrs Raulerson's.

The pall-bearers were Cary and Gene harden, W W Potter, Hughlin Walker, C E Simmons and R P Fletcher.

In many ways it was one of the saddest deaths in the community, coming so suddenly and unexpectedly as it did. Only immediate members of the family and very close friends were aware that Mrs Raulerson had any ailment. She looked the picture of health. She, however, went to the operating table bravely, hoopefully, and fully conscious of the danger of the operationl And, as bravely she passed on to her reward with her Redeemer.

Lewis Raulerson and his wife have been inseparable. Her passing has left him with a void that cannot be filled. The husband and wife loved and were devoted to their children and this devotion and love was reciprocated. They enjoyed an unusuall sweet harmonious family life. they will miss her. the community will mis her. Friends and relatives here and elsewhere will mourn her departure, but they will know that she is resting with her Father in the Mansion propared for her, awaitiing the coming of those who now miss and deplore her going. To Lewis Raulerson and his children we extend our wholehearted sympathy. May God bless and comfort them.

Those who attended the funeral from out of town were: Mrs. Parke anderson, Mr and Mrs Mell Bass, Roscoe Bass, Fred Montsdeoker, Avon Park; Mrs B E Alsobrook, Mary Lee Alsobrook, Lake Placid; Eddie Alsobrook, Hicora; Mr and Mrs J D Bird, West Palm Beach; Mrs Geo. Drawdy, Dozier Drawdy, mr and Mrs Lee Coats and family, mrs Olmstead, Mrs Sheffield, Mr and Mrs Storman and daughter, Ft Pierce; Mr E L Ley, Ft Meade; mr and Mrs Wm. Collins and Miss Theresa Dupree, Frostproof: Mr and Mrs Polk and daughter, Alice, Bowling Green; Mrs Whidden, mrs Crawford, Bradley Jet.; Mr and Mrs Hubert Clements, Mrs Osie Raulerson, Mrs Eva Benton, Stuart; Mr and Mrs J N McJunkin of Ft Lauderdale and others.

First house in Okeechobee still in use

By Pete Gawda, Okeechobee News

Carmil and Marie Clements Box live in the oldest house in Okeechobee.

Marie was born in 1913 in what was then, a two-room log cabin, and has lived there all her life except for her service time in World War II. Through the years, the house has been added to and modified.

Marie's mother, Adeline Raulerson Clements, was the daughter of Peter and Louisiana Raulerson - the first settlers in the area.

Peter Raulerson, whose father was a cattleman, came to what is now Okeechobee in an oxcart in 1896 to homestead and raise cattle. Marie proudly said the arrival of her grandfather in an oxcart is recorded in the mural on the outside wall of the gymnasium at the Okeechobee Freshman Campus.

Raulerson and his family were the first white settlers in the area.

On what is now S.W. Ninth Street, he built a log cabin consisting of two rooms with a breezeway between them. It was roofed with cedar shingles and had a fireplace at one end.

According to the book "Strolling Down Country Roads: Okeechobee, a Pictorial History" by Twila Valentine and Betty Chandler Williamson, the Raulerson cabin was built in 1899 to replace an earlier shelter. Family and friends came from Bassinger and Fort Drum and stayed three days to help build the house. They also fenced in 2 1/2 acres with cabbage logs to provide a vegetable garden for the family.

The house has been added to and modified so that it no longer retains its original appearance. But Carmil pointed out that the thickness of interior walls seen in doorways is a testimonial to the fact that the original log walls are still there.

North of what is now the City of Okeechobee, Peter Raulerson stretched a 30- mile fence from Taylor Creek to the Kissimmee River to contain his cattle. When asked how many cattle Peter Raulerson had, Carmil said Peter himself probably did not know. At cattle drive time, the cattle were made to swim the Kissimmee River and were driven to the west coast of Florida to be shipped to Cuba.

Marie said her youngest uncle, Cornelius, was the first white child born in the area. When Cornelius was little, there were many panthers in the area. So Cornelius' mother put a bell around his neck to scare off the panthers.

As the Raulerson family expanded, the boys slept overhead in the barn. Eventually, there were eight children in the family. In 1917, to accommodate his larger family, Peter Raulerson built a two-story house next door facing Parrot Avenue.

Jeanette's Interiors now occupies that house, which has been greatly altered. Pictures of this second Raulerson house show a wraparound porch with a picket fence surrounding it.

Marie said her grandmother used to board schoolteachers in this house.
