Newberry (Florida)
Louis Phillipe rose
Although this is was not taken at my farm....there is a legend about the Louis Phillipe rose in the Leitner family. When my great-great grandparents made the final move to Florida in the early 1850s, it is said that they told their children they could bring one thing from the home they were leaving in Cedar Creek, SC that they carry. One of their daughters...dug up a Louis Phillipe Rose and held it on her lap on the 2 week wagon trip from Cedar Creek to the families new home in what would become known as Anthony, Marion County, Florida.
