CURRY ‘Early Key West Newspaper Called “Key To The Gulf” Lovering Tells Story 1 Of Interesting Crane | Family In 1800’s | By FRANK LOVERING The interesting story of the man| | who published in Key West one of its earliest newspapers, H. A.)| Crane, is reviewed in the current] *| Tampa Sunday Tribune by D. B.| McKay in his column, Pioneer Flo-| rida. | Crane’s Key to the Gulf was es- tablished in Key Dest right after) the end of the War Between the States, and it was issued until the} published died at 76 in 1888. The story has many angles, chief of which hinged on the break be-| tween the North an dthe South. | Historians have called the Civil) War the “greatest fraticidal strug- gle,” in which brothers fought bro- thers and fathers their sons. His-| torian McKay say that a conspic-| uous example of this was furnished | by the Crane family of Tampa. The father, H. A. Crane, served| in the United States (Federal) Navy early in the war, as an en- sign. Later he transferred to the} Army and served as a captain of! infantry in a company composed | of Florida volunteers who sympa- thized with the Union cause. Son With Confederates | His only son, Henry L. |Crane,| enlisted at 22 in the 4th Florida Re-} giment of the Southern Army and| served gallantly until he was cap- tured in the battle around Nash- ville, Tenn. He remained in prison | at Camp Chase, O., until the sur-| render at Appomattox. Crane, senior, a native of New Jersey, enlisted when very young in the United States Army, was sent to Florida and fought in the Seminole Indian War. He was dis- Drivers Warned MEXICO CITY (®~Gen. Antonie Gomez Velasco, chief of traffic Police, said that school bus drivers who enildren to pri- vate schools are get ing more and more careless about breaking traf- fie rules—and announced an anti- dote. From now on, he warned, school bus drivers will be fined 100 times more than other offenders. That means their penalties will range from $58 to $1,157. And if they get jin trouble twice, they’ll also lose their driver's licenses and be out of a job. It was fiercely Republican in pol- ities, and got but meagre support, | but its publication was continued until the South seceded. Then Crane and his family moved to Key West, at that time, as throughout the internal struggle, a Union stronghold. He joined the Navy during the war, and was commander of one of the gunboats which bombarded | Tampa; but the son, Henry L., en- listed in the Army of the Confed- eracy, as has been stated. When the war was over, H. A. Crane established in Key West the newspaper, Key to the Gulf. On his release from the prison camp, the son, Henry L., wént to Key West to rejoin his father, but the father was so bitter that as soon as he could quit the parental roof, Henry returned to Tampa where his friends gave him a warm welcome. He took a good job in C. L. Friebele’s general store in the Cigar City ,and his popularity inevitably led him to the field poli- tical. He was elected County Judge charged from service in his home) for Hillsboro, served successfully eight years; and then was appoint- ing in the chorus, appeals to the people of Monroe county to cast their ballots tomorrow.
