She married Walter Truman Prior and had a daughter named Florida C. Prior Jr. Prior passed away in 1991 at the age of 93. Although her name is not inscribed on the book context and the individuals named in her entries point to Priors identity. This diary was printed in 1925 but entries were sporadically made between 1969 and 1970. Prior's writing paints a detailed picture of life in the American South at this time. Personal relationships were very important to Prior and her entries are replete with references to family and friends. She also describes the social events that she participates in and the simple pleasures she experiences in her daily life. "Roy M. Prior passed away around 6: 00 AM. Today. He was my sweet and true friend. We will miss him. Ruth has stayed with us some during his illness and Flo & I have enjoyed being with her" April 11.

Orlando Florida traces its roots back to the 1830s during a period marked by the Seminole Wars where the U.S. Army built Fort Gatlin south of the present-day Orlando city limits to protect settlers from attacks by Native Americans. By 1840 the area around Fort Gatlin was settled leading to the growth of a small community that by 1856 was known as Jernigan named after the Jernigan family who established the first permanent settlement. The name Orlando was adopted in 1857 though the origin of the name is subject to various legends one of the most popular claims it was named after Orlando Reeves a soldier who allegedly died in the area during the Second Seminole War. The city was officially incorporated in 1875 and by the late 19th century Orlando became a significant hub for Florida's citrus industry. The Record Company unknown

19473905Palatka Fl 1947. Very good. 5pp. typed on folio sheets stapled. Old folds minor wear and creasing light dust-soiling. An unsigned petition from the Hallie Q. Brown Club asking "The Honourable City Commission of the City of Palatka Florida.to recognise its status as the 'Hattie Q Brown Club which the Commission gave leave to use certain City property in Block 81.in furtherance of the welfare of colored children." Apparently a splinter group of the club was also claiming to be the Hallie Q. Brown Club and was illegally collecting rents on the groups club house. In asking for official recognition the group details their history of helping African-American youth in the area "by equiping and over-seeing a playground for them." The authors then detail the internal conflicts which occurred amongst the club members the procession of club leadership including several named individuals and the circumstances which led to the club's incorporation ending with the filing of a charter with a Putnam County judge. The fourth section of the club's petition enumerates their activities and plans in "furtherance of the welfare of the colored children of Palatka." The first two points detail the land clearance and construction of the park and their further plans for same; the third point relates to a study the club has undertaken "of the problem of juvenile delinquency among the colored children." Part of their plan is to work with law enforcement "to work out a parole system for first offenders of tender age" as well as "provide a method and place for the incarceration of colored children accused of or guilty of infractions of the law who are less than 12 years of age so that such children may be kept safely in custody and yet not exposed to the bad example and toughening influence of imprisonment in the County jail." Hattie Quinn Brown was a pioneering African-American educator who actively sought the formation of African-American women's clubs throughout the country. unknown

1953233181953. Clearwater Beach tourism photo archive photographed by George Fulmer documenting midcentury Gulf Coast visitor commerce through motel courts apartment lodgings seasonal rate signs furnished rental interiors restaurant frontage retail display and weekend entertainment in 1953 and 1955. Fulmer's assignments record Clearwater during the postwar automobile travel boom when Florida beach towns competed for motorists through inexpensive overnight lodging visible roadside pricing furnished efficiency rooms seafood restaurants and short-stay leisure promotion. The archive preserves the commercial visual language used to attract travelers to Florida's Gulf Coast at the height of early Sunbelt expansion before high-rise redevelopment transformed much of Clearwater Beach. The named studio envelopes and coordinated commercial assignments give the group unusual specificity tying Clearwater's resort economy to identifiable businesses dated jobs and seasonal advertising practices by notable city photographer George Fulmer.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 40 items including 19 silver gelatin prints with 21 accompanying original and duplicate large format negatives ranging from 3 x 4 to 4 x 5 inches Clearwater Beach and Clearwater Florida 1953-1955. The archive is comprised of some original and some duplicate images between the negatives and photographs. Nine original George Fulmer studio envelopes identify assignments including "Pelican Restaurant" "City Beach Pump House" "Signs Beach Apts." "Wallace Apts. Beach" "Our Bay Restaurant" "Weekend in Clearwater" "Hickey" and "Broadmore Motel" with the Broadmore envelope dated January 14 1955. A low motel court opens onto a central lawn and walkway occupied by seated adults and children; a man and woman stand beside a parked car under a sign reading "WALLACE APTS. / VACANCY / OVERNIGHT"; interiors contain sofas lamps dining sets venetian blinds and compact kitchen areas prepared for seasonal renters. Exterior signs advertise "20 ROOMS $4.00 DOUBLE Apr. 1 to Dec. 1" "15 UNITS $5.00 DOUBLE APRIL 15 NOV. 15" and "SUMMER RATES $5.00 PER COUPLE FROM APRIL 15 TO NOV. 15." Bay Restaurant frontage carries lettering for "SEA FOOD" "PACKAGE GOODS" "STEAKS CHOPS" and "CHICKEN" while performers stand at microphones in the "Weekend in Clearwater" assignment with a pianist visible behind one stage setup. A Hickey-Freeman Customized Clothes storefront adds a downtown retail component to the commercial landscape documented here.<br /> <br /> By the early 1950s Clearwater's economy depended heavily on seasonal tourism tied to automobile travel and winter migration into Florida. Motels apartment lodgings restaurants package stores entertainment venues and retail storefronts competed for travelers arriving along expanding Gulf Coast highway routes often advertising directly through roadside signage visible from passing cars. Fulmer's archive is strongest where it preserves those everyday commercial mechanics in named businesses rather than generalized resort imagery. Light curling corner wear and handling marks to prints and negatives; studio envelopes toned and worn with manuscript annotations. Overall good condition. A tightly focused record of Clearwater Beach tourism at the scale of the motel room roadside vacancy sign restaurant entrance retail storefront and weekend entertainment stage. unknown
