LIVINGSTON W. BETHEL The ladies of the Old South, re- nowned in song and _ story, ‘are passing; few indeed. are | left.) Among them is ,Mrs.. Livingston | W. Bethel. . At the age of 92 years she is said to be the,.oldest person living here who was born jin Key West. . .She traces her lineage back to Pozzo di Borgo of Corsica, statesman and com- |panion of Napoleon. -When | Napoleon left the isle of his birth to embark on a career of world |domination, the di Borgos went} |to Spain. There the granddaugh- | 'ter of Pozzo di Borgo married Joseph Ximinez, nephew of the} renowned Cardinal Ximinez. | Shortly after, the young couple! came to America and settled in| St. Augustine. . Here two daugh-| jters, Mary Nieves and Frederica, | were born. . .A few years later the family moved to Key West, | |where their descendants, Mrs, Liv-| jingston Bethel among them, still! |live. . Local history tells of Mrs. |Joseph Ximinez’s untiring efforts lin nursing the victims of the yel-| low fever epidemic, which, in| those days, frequently swept the | jisland, and of the charm andi vivacity of her two. dark-eyed | jdaughters. . .When Mary Nieves, | the elder of the girls, reached | Joseph Beverly Browne, scion of! the prominent Virginia family. | They lived for some years at the | corner of Whitehead and Caro-| |line streets, where the U. S. Nav- | jal Station now stands. Later! ithey erected a large and preten-| |tious house on Simonton street | on space at present occupied by | the Coral Apartments. . Joseph |B. Browne, during his life-time, played a prominent part in both jlocal and state affairs. He was | territorial U. S. marshal, a mem- |ber of the state legislature and, |both mayor and postmaster of | Key West.’. Being a close friend | jof John Tyler, tenth President of | the United States, he and Mrs. | Browne were, on more than one occasion, honored guests of the | White House. . .Four children were born to the Brownes, Ann| Elizabeth, Leonor Ximinez now | Mrs. George W. Allen, Jefferson B. Browne who became judge of | the Supreme Court of Florida, | and Mary Nieves who married Livingston Bethel. . .Mrs. Living- | ston Bethel, the subject of this; sketch, was born in Key West, | December 19, 1847, the year after the great hurricane swept this island and the Bahamas. . .She |was educated at the Misses Ed- |wardses School, in New Haven, Conn. . .At the outbreak of the Civil War, her father, Joseph B. Browne, was a large slave owner. It is said that a number of his slaves were employed in the con- struction of Fort Taylor. . .De- spite the fact that the sympathy of a majority of the inhabitants |lay with the Confederacy, the |island was held by Union forces |for the duration of the war. . . | Mrs. Bethel relates with high glee, how, during this trying pe- riod, she and her sisters made |tiny Confederate flags and stuck |them in their bird cages hanging on the front veranda. . .As White- |head street, at that time, was the |main thoroughfare along which the Federal soldiers daily march- ed,, it was not long, before the | fluttering flags caught the eye of Major French, the ,¢ommanding officer. .
