The oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, the Castillo de San Marcos is a large Spanish stone fortress built to protect and defend Spain’s claims in the New World. It’s a National Monument and, at more than 315 years old, it’s the oldest structure in St. Augustine, Florida.

Meet The Spicers!

~ Tim Jeffers ~ 2 Comments

I picked up these two cabinet cards at an auction. This is Myron Arlington Spicer and his wife Florence A Spicer. Mr Spicer was born  Feb 16, 1853 in Unadillla New York and died Jan 19, 1929. Mrs Spicer was born June 10,1850 and died Dec 17, 1936. They had two daughters and two grandsons all now deceased. It kinda sad after so many years people forget about you or the decedents don’t remember you and your photos end up at an auction.
