ANSWERING:
“David as a former Bluff Springs resident don’t you mean north of Whirlpool Rd?”

Naw, I’m including them too, especially since so many of the Johnsons moved to Whirlpoor Road. Charlie Dawson was listed as born in Bluff Springs when he was born across from Tedder Road. The Crary and Fillingim Families were listed in the 1888 act of the Florida Legislature so I’d have to include it down to the end of Crary Road, across from Whirlpool and up to (but not including) Tedder at the other end.

“We” tried to correct the name but their reasoning was – “Our mailing address is McDavid”. That being said, I am thankful jobs are coming to “The North End”. We want our children to be able to work in this area so welcome the opening
of this mill. It is on the site of the old Pine Barren Saw Mill from the 1800’s.
There is a cemetery on the property.

This sounds wonderful, but how long will it be before the ones they’re now hiring are laid off again? It seems like a gamble.

@Daivd, I agree, absolutely.

I wonder by whom and how these geographical conclusions are arrived at?

REGARDING:
“I have been trying for over four years to figure out how the “McDavid Saw Mill”, wound up in Bogia?”

Just lucky, I guess
But really, are you sure it isn’t in Pine Barren or Cotton Lake or even Barth?

(either that or it was done by mailing address)

David for placing the Bluff Springs signs properly
just south of Tedder Road
just south of Whirlpool Road

I think this is great news for the many unemployed in our area.

I have been trying for over four years to figure out how the “McDavid Saw Mill”, wound up in Bogia?
