Mercury Through The Years...

[FUJIMO]

1967--1968??? Mrs. K lived in the first house--

Later, Freda maintained a home in Winter Haven, for the next 52 years, until her passing at age 95, on Febuary 11, 2005. She had had a stroke 4 years prior, which paralyzed her entire side. Her daughter Helen, who was a nurse, cared for Freda until the end. Helen passed away in 2012, of cancer. The natural Inlet to the Gulf, in the above photo, otherwise known as Midnight Pass, has not existed since about 1983. Nature filled it in. Tens of millions of dollars were wasted in an attempt to keep it open via dredging & pumping over the years, to no avail.
