E.IRLY SETTLERS OF ORANGE COUNTY


WILLIAM SMITH


WILLIAM SMITH


Orlando and Orange County are indebted to men of every character for their cosmopolitan make-up. Some of these men assisted in the matter of the laws, the schools, the fraternal organizations, the churches and others left impress on the structural features of the city and its civic life.


Notably among these may be mentioned the late Hon. William Smith, who was a man possessed of many of the traits of his native land, added to those acquired by association and absorption in America.


He was born of Irish parentage, near Bel- fast, Ireland, April 13, 1855.


His mother died when he was an infant. His father came to America in 1859 and here the son, William, grew to manhood. He was edu- cated in the public schools, and while still a young man, became superintendent of the Farrel Iron Foundry in Ansonia, Conn.


In the year 1885 he married Miss Elizabeth J. Miles, of Ansonia, and the following year they moved to Orlando, Florida, then just be- ginning to show evident signs of becoming a city


With several associates he established The South Florida Foundry and Machine Company, and it was his close attention to business that had much to do with the quality of the struc- tural iron that went into nearly all the business buildings in Orlando, which after all is a valu- able monument to a man's usefulness in the community, for it will stand as long as one building remains in the city.


In the civic and governmental activities of the city, Mr. Smith had a large part. In the early days he became chief of the fire depart- ment, and thus he was not only a builder, but a preserver of Orlando.


For sixteen years he was a member of the city government, serving as councilman, on nearly every committee, and at the time of his death, less than two months had passed since the city government, of which he was president, had given place to the new order of commission government, Thus it may be said that with his demise, the old order passed away; and yet there will always be evidences of the new order in connection with his name, for, with the writer of this article, he was the prime mover for the first brick streets built in Orlando.


Religiously, Mr. Smith was a Presbyterian and held his membership in the First Presby- terian church of Orlando.


Fraternally he was conspicuous in the orders of Masons, Knights Templar, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Elks.


Mr. Smith passed away February 20, 1914, having written his name largely in the history of Orlando and his memory will ever be pre- served in the hearts of those who knew him and who, with him, had some part in the up- building of Orlando.


Mr. Smith's family consists of his wife and two living daughters, one daughter and a son deceased. There are living three sisters and a half brother.

DAVID O, MAGUIRE


DAVID O. MAGUIRE


David O. Maguire was born in Gwinnett County, Ga., Oct. 16, 1850.


His father at that time was considered one of the substantial men of his county, At the close of the Civil war, fifteen years later, con- ditions were changed, slaves all free and al- most everything gone but the land, Notwith- standing, he managed to attend Conyers Acad- emy, Conyers, Ga., and after finishing there he taught school near his home for two or more years before he decided to attend the State University, Athens, Ga,


Temperate in his habits he made a good student. He studied political economy under Ben Hill, the noted Georgia Senator. He re- ceived a military training at the same univer- síty.


Upon finishing his education at this place he accepted the position of principal of the High School of Loganville, Ga., where he taught for several years.


He was married to Miss Margaret M. Francis, also a college honor graduate, Jan, 7, 1880,


His health failing, he decided to come to Florida and engage in orange culture. This occupation at that time was very alluring and promised a fortune in the near future.


James Maguire, an older brother, came with him. They toured the State in a light two- horse buggy, finally deciding to buy land near Lake Apopka, now known as Crown Point, to


which place he brought his family two years later,


He bought the Pennington Grove in 1890, where he moved the same year. The freeze of 1894-5 killed his groves to the ground, but he sanguinly went to work to bring them back to bearing,


lle was instrumental in bringing about the Citrus Exchange, together with T. J. Minor, built and equipped the Exchange packing house at Ocoee, and was president of the Exchange at that place, He never tired of doing what he could to help the community in which he lived, As a man he was honest and reliable and thoroughly unselfish. He was a close stu- dent of politics and helped organize the People's Party and attended the convention when the platform was adopted.


He gave his five children, four sons and one daughter, the advantage of a college education, The oldest, Dr. Thomas C. Maguire, now has a good practice at Plant City; Charles Hugh Maguire graduated from the State University at the same time as his brother and went to Washington and Lee to study law, but died suddenly of appendicitis on February 6, 101; Fred 11. Maguire, at Ococe, and Rayner F. Maguire, attorney at law, Orlando, Fla. ; Lillian Irmer, a student at Tallahassee, Fla.


At the age of 63. November 9, 1913, Mr. Maguire went to sleep on the night of the eightlt, never to awaken, flis death was a shock to his family because so unexpected,

JOSEPH M. LEWIS


J. M. LEWIS


Boston contributed to Orange County when Mr. Lewis arrived at Altamonte in 1881. Here he was employed by Crisey & Norris, builders, and later he built the Altamonte Springs Hotel, the Frost House and directly or in- directly built nearly every house in the place. His principal business now is superintending orange groves in addition to having six large groves of his own, Altamonte and vicinity producing some of the finest fruit in the coun- ties of Orange and Seminole.


Mr. Lewis tried out California in '49, and the fact that he located in Florida and has, as a self-made man, wrested success out of the primeval forests and helped to convert this beautiful spot at Altamonte Springs into one of the rarest places in the State proves the value of Florida in comparison with Cali- fornia. Mr. Lewis has two sons, Arthur A. and James M., and one daughter, Miss Grace.

CAPT. J. C. STEWART


CAPT. J. C. STEWART AND WIFE


Capt. J. C. Stewart came to Orange County in 1854 and settled at Clay Spring, now known as Wekiwa Springs. After spending one year there among the wild beasts, such as wolves, bears, panthers and wild-cats, he moved about three miles west, where he took up a home- stead, built up a home and resided till he was called to fight for his country. He was exempt from going to war on account of holding the offices of tax assessor, collector, census taker and sheriff, but at the solicitation of his many friends to go as their captain, he sacrificed everything-home, wife and a family of eight bright children. The struggle must have been a hard one.


He was a high Mason and known among friends as a "peace-maker" in times of un- settled differences among neighbors. He was


also a sincere Christian, a member of the Baptist denomination. He was always fore- most in all things educational and for the up- building and betterment of his country.


Owing to severe climate hardships and many privations, he died the first year of the war leaving a heart-broken wife with the care and bringing up of eight children, which she did in a most highly respectable manner. Noth- ing in a complimentary way along these lines could be overdrawn, for she was a strong woman mentally, physically and spiritually. She must have been to bring up that many children alone in the pioneer days, when there were no public schools in the country. She was able to give all the children a common school education.

JAMES L. GILES


JAMES L. GILES


Mr. Giles anti-dates most of us who came to Orange County, for he has been here since his birth.


With a public school education he entered actively into business life and the success which has followed his endeavors by some people is called "good fortune" or "luck." but is simply the applied force of the man who knows how.


He is first of all a keen business man, with extraordinary fore-seeing and far-seeing abil- ity. with methods at once direct and courag- eons. His is no faint-hearted theory, but even while the iron is heating, he strikes.


First and last Mr. Giles is a builder. This does not mean that he has confined his efforts to buildings, for he is the owner of thou- sands of acres of unimproved lands on the St. Johns River, in Seminole County and Orange County, besides profitable orange groves and farms.


But he is the man responsible for many of the finest structures in Orlando, among them what was originally known as the Charleston-now the Watkins Block, the Or- lando Bank and Trust Company building, the Orlando Telephone Company building, the Astor Hotel building, "Dixie," that elegant residence property on North Lake Lucerne, three other fine residences on the same lake, a number of modern homes throughout the


city and recently the finest colonial residence in this section of the State, costing about $30,000, which is to be his permanent home.


It is in large tracts of land and in improved property that Mr. Giles especially interests himself as a real estate dealer. Many of the finest sales in the county having been made through his agency or directly of his own holdings.


Mr. Giles has always been closely identified with the commercial life of the city through the Board of Trade and otherwise. One of the earlier organizers of the Board of Trade, he has given of time and means without stint for the up-building and advancement of the city's best interests.


One of the originators of the Orlando Driv- ing Park Association, he became one of the charter incorporators of the Fair Association, and has been treasurer and director of the same since its inception.


lle was also one of the organizers and the president of the Orlando Country Club, con- trolling the finest golf course in Florida.


Personally and socially Mr. Giles is free- hearted and free-handed. an interesting ac- quaintance and a friend, generous and loyal.


llis family consists of wife, son, Leroy B. Gies, attorney-at-law, daughter, Mrs. Allen Weathersbee, and younger daughter, Miss Edna delima.

HON. MOSES O. OVERSTREET


HON. M. O. OVERSTREET


The self-made man sometimes generates in- to a selfish man, but not so in the case of M. O. Overstreet. He has a keen realization of what "self-made" means to any aspiring individual who has no "pull" other than his own strong will, and therefore, although ex- ceptionally successful beyond the attainments of many others, he is approachable and chari- tably hearted to others who are attempting to climb.


A Georgian by birth, his first round on the ladder was the naval stores business, which he modestly entered and aquired a persona! knowledge of in every detail.


After a time he removed to Orange County, Florida, where he continued in the same line for a while, acquiring large tracts of timber land, both for the turpentine and lumber, and in 1906 bought a half interest in the Warnell Lumber Company Mills, later forming the corporation of the Overstreet Crate Company, with a capital of $200,000 and turning out orange boxes and crate material in very large quantities, 1,250,000 orange boxes and vegeta- ble crates in like proportion annually, employ- ing 325 hands and sustaining a whole town at Lockhart. Besides, he is the owner of four


turpentine stills, the Overstreet Turpentine Company, being capitalized at $200,000. The company has about thirteen miles of private railroad as feeders to the mills and stills.


Thus, he is one of the largest manufactur- ers in the State of Florida and the largest in this section of the state,


Commercially he is president of the Peoples National Bank of Orlando, an institution which has become very popular, a stockholder and director of The Heard National Bank of Jacksonville, and of hotel properties in Jack- sonville and Atlanta, Ga.


Ile has been a progressive in public affairs, holding important offices for years in the Or- lando Board of Trade and in the Fair Asso- ciation and is always among foremost citizens in the promotion of every good cause.


Politically he has held notable city and county offices, having been on the Orlando city coun- cil, as alderman, for years, and very active in city affairs; is now chairman of the Orange County Commissioners, a position he has held for several successive terms, and was one of the foremost advocates of permanent brick roads, which are being built all over the coun- ty under his administration.


So pre-eminently successful has his official career been that he is now being favorably spoken of as the next State Senator of his district. Although very busy in every possible line, Mr. Overstreet put one even over himself during the present year, when the Baptist church organization needed a man with ex- traordinary executive ability to enable them to build a church worth $35,000. Mr. Overstreet undertook the matter and within a few months completed the finest Baptist church in South Florida.


Mr. Overstreet is a family man, and partic- ularly lives in the enjoyment of home life. Hle was married to Miss R. Ethelyn Chapman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Chapman, of Plymouth, Florida, April 12th, 1900, and they have four children: Robert T., Hazel, Elizabeth and Mildred, and the family resi- dence is located in one of the finest and most spacious park-like locations in the city of Or- Iando.

HON. J. L. DILLARD


HON. J. L. DILLARD


Mr. Dillard may safely be called half Vir- ginian and half Floridian, for he lived one-half of his lifetime in each of these wonderful states.


A native of Staunton, Va,, he arrived in Winter Garden Florida, in the year 1888 when the interest was at its height for that time. Adopting fruit culture and garden- ing, he originally rented lands and cultivated on shares with Sheriff J. H. Vick on the prop- erty then known as the "Washington Place," the beautiful little town of Winter Garden now being located on a part of that property.


He spent six continuous years in this line of business, and about 1895. when the crop industry was entirely destroyed he concluded he had an even chance with the other growers, and planted largely in orange and grapefruit trees. Foreseeing the inevitable growth of Winter Garden because of its splendid loca-


tion and climate and the possibilities of its exceptionally fine lands, he invested in town property, which continued to grow in value, by day and night, and finally the light broke upon a very prosperous and constantly in- creasing little city, and Mr. Dillard's dream came true.


Mr. Dillard was too busy a man to care for public office, but it came to him, as it will sometimes to the man who is successful in his own affairs. He was elected a councilman by his townspeople and later he was elected County Commissioner of Orange County, hold- ing the office at this time.


He applies the same practical tactics to public business which he has given to his private concerns and was an advocate for the new brick county roads, now building. Mr. Dillard may safely be said to be a constructive citizen of Orange County.

MRS. HELEN ROLLINS


MRS, HELEN ROLLINS


The lady whose picture appears on this page was born in Salem, Mich., September 24, 1833, her maiden name being Helen Augusta Jack- son, daughter of Joseph Jackson, She was


married to Mr. John H. Rollins July 3, 1854, at Crown Point, Ind.


They came from Burlington, Ind., to Flor- ida, in 1884, on a trip for investigation, and in May, 1885, bought property in Winter Park, induced thereto by the fact that Mr. Rollins was related to Mr. A. W. Rollins, for whom Rollins College was named.


In 1886 they removed permanently to Or- lando, where Mr. Rollins engaged in fruit culture and also sold his invention, a patent plant cover.


Mr. Rollins died in 1903, and his wife, be- ing a very energetic woman, gifted with a knowledge of values and possibilities of the future invested in real estate with considerable profit.


Until within a very short time before her death, on April 15, 1915, she showed no evi- dence of infirmity, having had the above proto- graph taken only a few weeks prior. Her age was eighty-one years and her Christian faith was that of the Congregational Church.


She had two children, Flora Estelle, who died in infancy, and Stella Alcesta, now Mrs. S. H. Happersett. who lives on Lake Fola, Orlando, Florida.
