Hess Family Recalls Florida Trip and Southern Visit
Mr and Mrs H Hess and daughter Viola recount a three thousand mile journey to Florida Alabama and Mississippi. They note ideal weather driving routes and little detour for bridge work. They describe farming sights Cypress forests Lee Tidewater Cypress Co and a Spanish Moss factory in Old Town Florida orange and grapefruit crops and Civil War era sites. They also mention churches and a three quarter century ball players group over 75 years old in St Petersburg and report a safe return though Missouri roads were icy with light snow on the return leg.
