THE OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION

"Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 30, 1882, the Old Settlers of 1875, '76, '77 met at the residence of Dr. M. N. Voorhis. A motion was made that they form an association to meet annually for the purpose of perpetuating the cordial and kindly feeling that has ever existed between them. The officers elected were: President, Dr. H. H. Gillen; 1st Vice President, Judge C. H. Wright; 2nd Vice President, H. A. DeLand; Secretary and Historian, Mrs. Hettie M. Austin." Other presidents serving have been: Judge C. H. Wright, J. J. Banta, Rev. J. D. Bohannon, H. B. Austin, Capt. J. B. Jordan, H. A. DeLand, elected for life in 1897, G. A. Dreka, elected for life in 1918. There have been thirty-nine meetings. The programs have been made up of informal talks and letters from absent members. of prayers, songs and now and then a dance. The meetings have been occasions "of joy and gladness", saddened as time went on by many deaths. Mrs. Austin, who was life secretary, sent invitations to those who had left DeLand and saved their replies. She kept clippings relating to this group and to the growth of the city. Her collection furnishes valuable source material for historians of that section of Florida. The memberhip has been limited to those coming there prior to Jan. 1, 1887 and to their descendants. The list that follows includes their names and is as complete as I could make it.
