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.
HEre’s the welcoming arch that once stood in Downtown Lakeland On Kentucky Avenue, off Main Street.

Without an actual address, it’s hard to know where this was. Below is what is at 89th Street and the beach today. The building on the right is too new. The one on the left may have been The Blue Horizon.
