Swampy's Florida

The Mize family ran turpentine stills all around Alachua County in the early 1900s until 1950. Part of their land included a cemetery which was later deeded to the Fairbanks Baptist Church, in eastern Alachua County. Ellis Mise, who died in 1967, had the above grand headstone created to depict a working catface on a pine tree as was used to seep sap from a tree.
