Subject: Nice meeting you at the reunion

Hello Chris,
I can't thank you enough for the perfect timing in the mailing of the reunion info. My husband is still talking about what fun he had. I truly enjoyed meeting everyone and was glad to meet you and Bill Jones as well. He let me photocopy a photo I think was his and it says Marian Ona Hendrickson , nee Platt and under it says , Wilbur Hendrickson and Wilbur Hendrickson , Jr. The couple with their son is seated on a porch with a dog and a bike of a beautiful home. If you can forward him this letter , it looks like on your page it is Henderson not Hendrickson and Marian is Marion. So I don't know which is correct but Donna Cato who was there , talked to Bill about the Ashley gang story , they shot and killed the Sr. in the photo as he was sheriff in Dade county back in 1915. Maybe he will recall. Just was looking in your page to put her in my mind with who she descended from and Marion Ona was Francis Marion Platt's daughter. Anyway just wanted to pass that on... let me know which is the right spelling so I can fix the photo or my book, have a wonderful day. A somehow cousin-ha-ha, Pam and Glenn

"The Davie Dilemma"
by Victoria Wagner
1982

Not only was there no house to receive the Formans when they arrived in the Everglades, there was no corner grocery store where they could buy food. The supplies they brought with them were soon exhausted so they planted vegetables and raised chickens for eggs and meat. Blanche learned to be a good shot with both rifle and shotgun to protect her chickens from the alligators, coons, opossums, wildcats, skunks and snakes.

She had other handicaps in making a home on the frontier, a lack of the conveniences which young people starting a home today take for granted. There was no electricity, gas, running water or indoor plumbing. Water was pumped by hand, carried in pails, and heated over an open fire or on a kerosene or wood burning stove. Since there were no refrigerators, vegetables, fruits and meats were cooked and canned for preservation. There were no washers or dryers so clothes were washed by hand, using tubs and a scrub board. Kerosene lamps and lanterns were used for light. In addition to the problems of housekeeping under these conditions, Blanche and the other women of this scattered settlement took on some of the tasks of farming. They helped by preparing seed, harvesting, grading and packing.
As soon as the canal from Lake Okeechobee was opened to traffic by the dredges Everglades and Caloosahachee, the Formans took the job of operating the locks and moved into the lock tender's house about 200 yards west of Davie Road. The locks were used by a strange variety of men at all hours of the day and night: farmers. trappers, fishermen, dredge and boatmen, hunters. even members of Florida's notorious outlaw "Ashley Gang" as the Formans later found out. At the time, when Charles Forman was little more than a baby, John Ashley enjoyed bouncing the child on his knee and playing with him whenever the gang came through.

Many years later, Charles, now a veterinarian and a prominent man in the community, reports that there were mixed emotions in the Forman household when they learned who John was, and that he had been killed by a sheriff's posse.
Checkered Sunshine by Weilding and Burghard tells the story: "On December 29, 1911, a dredge working on the canal between Fort Lauderdale and Lake Okeechobee had churned up the body of a Seminole Indian named De Soto Tiger. Investigation showed that he had been murdered. Tiger had left the lake for a trip down the canal to Miami with a load of otter skins. He was accompanied by a young man, named John Ashley. The same John Ashley later sold $1200 worth of otter skins to Gertman Brothers in Miami. The skins were the property of the Seminole tribe .

"The entire Seminole nation was aroused and the outcry became so great that John Ashley fled North. He later returned and was taken to .Miami where his trial was to be held. John broke jail and the gang robbed the bank at Stuart. John was shot in the jaw which resulted in the loss of an eye. Forced to stay near town for medical attention, he was captured and taken to the Dade County jail. On June 2, 1915, Bob Ashley, his brother went to the home of Deputy Sheriff Wilbur Hendrickson and murdered him for his keys; but Bob never reached jail. In a running battle with police, he and one officer were killed.
