Interview with Archie Jackson 5
April 4, 2001


 J: I graduated and went into the U.S. Army.

B: What happened after you got out of the Army?



B: they are now.

 J: They dug them up because they were very poisonous to cattle. I have seen one or
 two back there, but I think it's where they dumped them. A Sinclair bought it, and a fellow named Tom Walsh bought it, and we bought it from the Walshes. It stayed in two or three hands over the years. It changed hands, but nobody ever
 bought it. The city finally bought it.

B: When this property was purchased here, there were more than 600 acres.

 J: We bought it in '60 and moved out here in January 196 1. B: And your father, Lovett, built his house.

 J: That house was already up there. Bob Sinclair built that house. B: And you built this one?

 J: We built this in 1963.

B: When did you join the Sheriff's Department?

 J: 1969.

B: So you hardware people, Frank Bennett?

 J: Yes.

B: He gave me a bunch of folders. A big hardware store.

 J: Idon't know.

B: They had all the way down to the floor. Last
 summer I went to a garage sale in Micanopy. In the back of the garage, I saw a calendar with a pretty lady on it. I went back to look at the lady, and it was an old Baird Hardware calendar in 19 There was a beautiful thermometer there -an thermnometer. I think Shorty Bean ended up with that, and he got it from Shorty Bean. It's in perfect shape.
