PIONEERS

 

This article was in The Osceola Sentinel Centennial Edition, Thursday, August 1, 1951.

In early 1906 an effort was made to compile a complete list of pioneer residents of Clarke County, still living here then, who had 50 or more years of residence in the county. The list grew to 80 names and was said to be practically complete.
