bout old-time residents some of whom
have been gone these many years.
She remembered the Bluffton that

the days of the oil boom-when the

Just in event you're curious as to
her identity, it was the former Alice
Grafton, now Mrs. James F. Sharp
of Port Huron, Mich. She and her
husband stopped here enroute to their
home after wintering in Florida. Any
of the early residenters viii tell you
that she was the daughter of VIII
