When the spirit free deserts the body as it must

What matter where the lifeless form dissolves itself again to dust.

Twere sweet indeed to close our eyes with those we cherish near; And wafted upwards by their sighs, soar to some calmer sphere; But whether on the scaffold high, or in the battle van The fittest place where man can die, is where he dies for man.

The sandy loam soil around Streetroad has sustained a diversity of agriculture ever since – from orchards and corn fields, to dairy cattle and pasturage for “Ti Trotters” bred from Morgan stock. Local farmers trained their winners on practice tracks nearby. One local farmer’s interest in Indian customs gave rise to the Forest Theatre. Tom Cook’s Indian Pageant began as a celebration of the “green corn festival” in 1932. Over the years, it grew into an annual event portraying Native American life to hundreds of summer visitors.

Dedicated in the Fall of that year by Dominie Stephen Goetschius, the first pastor, who called it a “beautiful and well-proportioned” House of God. Built of local sandstone and timber, the labor was performed by members from Pascack and Saddle River, where a joint pastorate existed until 1854.

No other courthouse has been used by three early American Presidents at the same time, The original wood frame courthouse was erected on a two-acre lot in 1762 when the city was founded by Dr. Thomas Walker. Here local elections were held and the County Court conducted business with the help of young attorneys and magistrates such as Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. These men along with James Madison later became Presidents and could at times be seen here together. After a stirring patriotic sermon by Rev. Charles Clay on a public Fast Day in 1774 the freeholders of Albemarle County met here and made a resolution to the Virginia House of Burgesses that called for a boycott of trade with England and for a meeting of a Continental Congress. When the British attacked Richmond in the summer of 1781 the Virginia General Assembly made Charlottesville its temporary emergency capital and met here for deliberations, including Patrick Henry, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Richard Henry Lee, John Tyler and Daniel Boone. The courthouse was also a place of worship and Jefferson himself helped organize an independent congregation led by Rev. Clay beginning in 1777 called the Calvinistical Reformed Church. A member of this church, Col John Harvie, introduced Jefferson’s famous Bill for Religious Freedom to the Virginia legislature that same year. Many years later Jefferson called the courthouse the “common temple” and proudly spoke of its use each Sunday by four Protestant denominations in turn. The square was enclosed with a railing in 1792 and a second building of brick was built in place of the wooden structure in 1803 and now forms the north wing to your right. It faced a public square with taverns and shops behind you (on today’s Park Street). A whipping post, stocks, pillory and a stone jail stood on this public square that also was the commercial center of the town. The south wing of this courthouse, which is located behind this display was built in 1860 in the Gothic Revival style and was modified to its current appearance in the 1930’s as part of an extensive renovation. This work restored the Colonial features of the original building and remodeled the portico in the Colonial Revival style.

It served as his residence and headquarters for nearby mining and ranching operations. On December 20, 1880, it became the first post office in the district. Within ten years population had shifted to the Oracle area and on July 19, 1890, mail service was discontinued from American Flag. This is one of the oldest surviving post office buildings in Arizona and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Courtesy hmdb.org 1112976@307839@site_description@The name Florala came from combining the names of Florida and Alabama. Lake Jackson, located in Florala, is the states largest natural lake. It is named for Andrew Jackson, who in 1818 camped on the lake with his soldiers while en route to Pensacola. James Edwin Hughes, best known as the "Father of Florala," arrived int he area in December 1865. He created a homestead and began settling this community. Since 1870, the City of Florala, through Florala's Fidelity Masonic Lodge No. 685 and Chapter No. 441 of the Order of the Eastern Star, has served as the home of the World's Oldest Consecutive Annual Masonic Day Celebration. The celebration is in honor of St. John's Day, which is June 24. Florala was incorporated in 1901. The marker and park are dedicated to the brave military men and women who have served and died for this country and the citizens of Florala, past, present, and future.

Marker is at the intersection of 5th Street and 5th Avenue (U.S. 331) on 5th Street.
