‎[African Americana]: [Florida]: [Education]‎

‎Albumen Photograph Featuring Rev. J.L.A. Fish and His Wife Posed with Their African American Students Outside a "Colored School"‎

‎N.p. but likely Live Oak FL 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4.5 x 7.75 inches mounted on card. Card trimmed with pinholes at corners remnants of printed caption in bottom margin slight surface soiling and spotting. Penciled annotation on verso. A stunning original photograph featuring Rev. Joseph Leroy Atwell Fish 1828-1890 and his wife and children posed amongst their African-American students at an unnamed "colored school" which was very likely the Florida Baptist Institute. The images captures Fish his wife and probably his daughters in the middle of the frame standing in front of a large two-story schoolhouse surrounded by about eighty young Black men and women in suits and dresses. Revered Fish was a graduate of Amherst College and the Newton Theological Seminary who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1856. Fish was also a teacher who helped found Florida Memorial University Florida Baptist Institute in Live Oak in 1880 where he served as first president of the institution until his death there on March 26 1890. Florida Memorial University is the only HBCU in the southern part of the state. The penciled annotation on the present photograph provides some information on the photograph but is probably ultimately misleading in one regard: "Rev. J.L.A. Fish & wife In Virginia teaching a colored school -- He married my Father & Mother Mr. & Mrs. Milan Hills Lucy M. Williams Dec. 21 1875."<br /> <br /> The latter part of this inscription is indeed true. Reverend Fish married Milan Hills and Lucy Williams on December 21 1875 in Hebron New York where he was serving as a church pastor. But the historical record does not indicate that Reverend Fish ever taught at an African-American school in Virginia if he did it was so brief that it is now lost to history. Fish's first known foray into teaching African American students was a brief six-month stint in Natchez Mississippi in 1879. Immediately thereafter Fish was appointed to the Florida Baptist Institute where he served the last decade of his life. As such it is far more likely that the inscriber here meant to say that Reverend Fish and his wife were "In FLORIDA teaching a colored school."<br /> <br /> Reverend Fish's work at the Florida Institute is covered in the Obituary Record of Graduates of Amherst College for the Academical Year ending June 27 1883: "His chief work was with the Freedmen as he brought Florida Institute out of all its troubles financial and social changed the feeling of the whites from hatred to sympathy with his work and put the school on a permanent foundation. His aim was to educate leaders for the race and the principal effort of his school was to train teachers and preachers to go out through the state and by their example to lift up and educate both intellectually and morally the colored people. His influence was felt throughout the state both through his training of teachers and preachers and through his counsels given at conventions associations and other gatherings of the colored men and in private. He is mourned by both white and black. By the whites because they knew his teachings would help the colored people without causing trouble to them. By the latter because they miss their leader teacher and friend. unknown‎

On his other side is his second wife Margaret Jane Leitner McGahagin 1838-1896. His brother William Emmit McGahagin and his brother’s wife Sarah Eliza McCormick McGahagin are buried about fifteen feet south of J.L. McGahagin's tombstone.<br /> Joshua L. McGahagin was a farmer a saw-mill owner and owned real estate. He owned property in Brazil as well as in this country. He owned a sawmill on Lake Weir. He would barge logs across the lake take them by ox cart to the Ocklawaha River where they were barged to Jacksonville. He was a Captain in the Confederate Army.<br /> <br /> "Longswamp was the name applied to a large area which extended from the site of the present Belleview south and southwestward to the Withlacoochee River. A post office under Joshua L. McGahagin was established for this region on August 29 1846. Frequently the office was in the home of the postmaster and mail was carried by rider once each week."<br /> <br /> "In August of 1850 panic followed after finding an Indian camp nearby on the Withlacoochee. As all Indians were supposedly within a reservation in the Everglades wild rumors were circulated. On the McGahagin plantation log barricades were hurriedly erected and settlers from isolated homes rushed here for protection. But the alarm was unjustified. An intensive search disclosed only eleven Indians. These Indians were soon deported back to the Everglades."<br /> <br /> These excerpts were taken from a history of Marion County called "Ocali Country Kingdom of the Sun" by Eloise Robinson Mrs. Roy V. Ott and Louis Hickman Chazal.<br /> <br /> One day several years after the Civil War a man who had served under Joshua Lucas MaGahagin's C.S.A. command entered the home of his eldest son William "Billy" Emmit. He saw his father's framed photograph over the mantel and exclaimed "Why that's the Ole Warhorse!"<br /> <br /> Joshua left for South America in 1868 taking one of his daughters Lula with him. He was back in Marion County in 1870 as he was listed in the Census that year.<br /> <br /> After surviving the Civil War and a trip to Brazil spending hours on horseback Joshua died when he was thrown from a horse. n.p. unknown‎

‎A Journal of the Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Florida at Its Ninth Session‎

‎Tallahassee FL: Office of the Floridian & Journal Printed by Jones & Dyke 1858. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. With most of the legislature's time taken up with questions of infrastructure particularly the Florida railroad Governor Madision S. Perry uses his annual address to warn of coming conflict with the north and to encourage the spread of slavery. This is a nicely-bound volume of the daily legislative log and the accompanying state office reports. The session ran from November 22 1858 to January 15 1859.<br/> <br/> In his prescient call for funding a militia an action that the legislature does not appear to have discussed seriously Gov. Perry warns that "the late elections in the non-slaveholding States forebode no good to us in the South. He would be a false sentinel who under the present aspect of affairs would cry peace" pp. 27–28. He then observes that many White Floridians are ambivalent about slavery and he encourages the legislature to make changes in the law to encourage slaveholding another action the lawmakers seem to have not spent much time on.<br/> <br/> Another subject that Perry devotes time to is the forcible removal of Native Americans from Florida. After twenty years of conflict the federal government had recently declared victory and ended the war. Both the governor and the legislature make appeals in this document to continue the effort until all the Seminoles and other tribes are gone from the state.<br/> <br/> 456 journal 70 reports pages.
