FRED BARNETT Perhaps the most interesting story connected with the few sur- vivors who escaped from destruc- ton is the story .of the Parker| family, and Fay Marie Parker, tells it: “On this terrible day when the hurricane was striking the Keys, father and mother gathered us ten children into our house in the afternoon, and there we stayed until it grew very dark, and all our windows amd doors were brok- en by things flying through the air. “In our large room was a great big double bed, and as the water rose over the floor and got up to the waists of us little children, father got us up on this bed so we would not have water wash in our mouths. There we remained un- til the roof blew off and the walls! Before leaving this morning! of the house were carried away. “Somehow the floor opened up and one leg of the bed was} eaught, and that was the thing! that saved us all, for pretty soon] the floor of our house was begin- ning to float away with all of us ten children on the bed, and the water covering the bed. Father and mother steadied us as best! they could as the wind blew us every way, and at last after a long, long time we came to rest n the tops of bushes, and as the water disappeared we gradually | sunk until father found we were on the land again. “AN through the rest of the dark night we children slapped; each other and cuddled close to} keep warm, and in the morning} father found we were back within a few feet of where our old house onee stood. “Nearly all of my play mates were drowned and I have never seen them again, so I am very, very happy to do my part in dedi- eating this beautiful monument to the memory not only of the the city police quarters and was, by Herbert Stirrup, al- lotted @ place to rest and be comfortable. The lock up must have ap- for he at once at home, and later conceived the idea that it was home and all things be- longed to him, even to the clothes of Good Samaritan Stirrup. This was proven when he went to take his departure from the jail barged in Stir- rup’s shirt and on his feet Stirrup’s shoes. He was forced to disrobe, at least remove the shirt, take off the shoes, and depart for the county jail in custedy of Deputy Sheriff Ray Elwood. SPILL La MMM. LEAVES ON RIES OF MEETINGS AT FIRST M- E. CHURCH Fred T. Barnett, who was con- ducting a series of revivals at the First Methodist (Stone) church this week, was an outgo- ing passenger over the highway by bus to Tavernier where he will conduct a Stewardship cam- paign, joined by the Methodist churches at Tavernier, Matecumbe and Rock Harbor.
