Research Notes

The gravestone was added much later by sibling, Fonzie (Driggers) McGee. This infant was born and died between census years and before records were kept in Florida. It is unlikely that more records will be found.

Mr. J. P. Driggers' youngest child
died Thursday afternoon with an at-
tack of membraneous croup. The at-
tention and efforts of physicians were
unavailing. The community sympa-
thizes with the parents in their be-
reavement
