WILLIAM THE SILENTPRINCE OF ORANGEBy Rev. J. B. Thomas

If you question whether the sub-ject of this sketch were a prince-look under that word in Webster'sDictionary, definition four, or lookat the cut made from a photopor-trait loaned out of Mr. Dale's fami-ly album. Doesn't he look aprince? And wasn't he a denizenof Orange County? But was hesilent?

IWILLIAM C. COMSTOCK

One of the Founders ofWinter Park

As charity covers a multitude ofsins, like a cloak, so the silence ofWilliam of Orange County covereda multitude of charities. Isn't ittime some of this silence was brok-en for him?

Praise got you nowhere with thismodest, but not simple gentleman.His reaction?—"Why callest thoume good?" He silenced all trum-pets sounded before him in his life-time. But he can't stop us nowfrom sounding taps after him.

A few years ago, Mr. H. W.Caldwell said to me, "Doctor, ithardly seems possible but only afew years after Mr. Comstock'sdeath, the town is full of peoplewho never heai'd of him." Thatcame from one who had been close-ly associated with him as a trusteeof Rollins, a member of All Saints'Vestry and in many excellent ent-erprises.

William C. Comstock came to thesettlement of Oseeola, OrangeCounty, in 1878 (There is now anOseeola in Seminole County with asaw mill, a house boat, a post of-fice and an Indian burial mound.)Oseeola settlement was to die ingiving birth to Winter Park. Itwas deep,deep South. One of theoriginal houses still stands at thecorner of Phelps and Mizell Ave-nues, the home of Mr. and Mrs.C. Fred Ward. It took two weeks,Mrs. Ward told me, to transportsupplies from Sanford by oxcartsthrough deep, deep sand trails.

Mr. Comstock, in a very weak-ened condition from an attack ofpneumonia, came here, not to getaway from everything, but to findstrength to get back to work inChicago. And in a few weeks hehad found it, very grateful to Godand Florida.

Forty years after his death, Os-eeola had become a popular hero.A settlement had been named afterhim, a county, and a lake which weall know. Less time had elapsedbetween Osceola's death and Com-stock's acquisition of his campingsite on the East bank of this lake,in the second Seminole war, thanhas elapsed since then and thepresent,—sixty years.

(Oseeola, Georgia born of aCreek Indian Mother and a Britishfather, William Powell, had at 4years "refugeed" in Florida, thenunder the flag of Spain. UncleSam, at the time an aggressor na-tion, took over this fair territoryand began deporting the Indianpopulation. But "Britons nevershall be slaves". The half Britishrefugee incited to resistance andfought the invaders. He killed onechief who counselled acquiesence.Then he sought a negotiated peace.He went, seeking appeasement asan ambassador to the U. S. Armyheadquarters where "on a given sig-nal" he was seized and, on ordersfrom General Jesup, was taken inchains to Fort Moultrie, S. C. and"liquidated." Of course Oseeolawas a Red—or half-red, but no par-lor pink. He was not a communistbut a liberal and anti-fascist.)

At the coming of Comstock therewas no Railroad and there was noWinter Park until Loring Chaseand Mr. Chapman came. PromoterHenry B. Plant was projecting alocal railroad, routing it from LakeJesup, via Lake Charm, Oviedo,Conway and so on to Orlando. Mr.Comstock fought valiantly and suc-cessfully to have it routed throughWinter Park.

By this time he had built thefirst house—which, subsequentlyenlarged, is now the home of Mr.and Mrs. Kilroe, ("Bastbank").Later he built the "Mansion" nowowned by Mr. and Mrs. John Har-

A year later, Dr. Charles RussellSwitzer of Chicago brought hiswife Harriett to this hostelry. Ina letter to her father, later founderof All Saints Mission in a letterdated October 17th, 1883 she wrote:

"Winter Park consists of . onewide street with a park (?) to theWest of it. A very good grocerystore, market, drugstore, expressand Post Office, (i.e., White's gen-eral store . . . J. B.

In Maitland, there were a' Catho-lic, an Episcopal and a MethodistChurch. In Orlando was St.Luke's Parish Church described byMrs. Switzer as a "dreary littlebuilding". In backward WinterPark—no churches. Under date ofNovember 23, 1883, Mrs. Switzerwrites her family; "I forgot to tellyou that we have occasional ser-vices here, meeting in the roomover Alford and White's grocerystore, and such a queer mixture ofconveyances congregate before thedoor, mules in wagon or buggy, avery pretty turnout (a phaeton) be-longing to the Comstocks, a twoseated rig drawn by a pair of beau-tiful horses and driven by a coloredcoachman (in livery . . .

"Mamma, what are those twometal pipes with knobs on top andrings near the top?"

"Why, don't you know? Old fash-ioned hitching posts. They usedto tie horses or mules to them."

"But they are on the 'No Park-ing' side of the street."

"They must have been put therebefore Morse Boulevard was a oneway street."

Have you noticed them oppositePruyn's Jewelry store? I myselfhad wondered about them untilMr. Dale told me they had been do-nated to the town by Mr. Corn-stock and that he had used them aslong as he lived. Look on Churchstreet by the Hooker Memorial.The post you see was given andused by Mr. Dale. I think thesegenuine relics should have explana-tory bronze tablets affixed tothem.

A modest street is named Com-stock Avenue. That is his only me-morial as far as I know.

The impressive events of Founders Week and theinspiring Bach Festival are all the more gratifyingbecause we all know that they are given to ourfair city by men and women who have ideals ofservice to the community and their generationrather than a desire for profit.

That many American business men have caught theinspiration, from civic leaders and made their op-erations conform to enlightened public service isone of the hopeful signs of our times.

"Advertising Insert" yielded slight-ly more than $2000." This is thelargest amount ever received, andwill provide four scholarships of$500. each, which will enable fourambitioiis and exceptionally talent-ed students to spend an entire yearat Rollins.

Well-to-do students who can af-ford to do so are expected to paythe entire cost, of their educationat Rollins. All of the income .fromthe modest endowment fund is usedas "Student Aid"—but this is notenough. Each year Rollins has toraise by gifts additional funds forspecially talented students, whocannot pay the full cost of theireducation. These four scholarshipswill help, but forty would help stillmore.

WOMAN'S CLUBThe Woman's Club of Winter

Park is honored to present on Wed-nesday, March 8, at 10:30 o'clockMrs. Eleanor Wood Whitman, in adramatic reading of the prophecyof Isaiah. Most people forget howpertinent these ancient poets areto the present conditions in theworld. Isaiah especially demandedopen diplomacy among nations. Soit is fitting that this programshould be sponsored by the depart-ment of International Relations.Mrs. Whitman is a former scholarat the American School for Scien-tific Research in Palestine, and Lec-turer on Biblical Literature atWellesley College, She will usePalestine costumes and materialsfor illustrating her talk.

On Thursday and Friday, March

9 and 10 at the Baby Grand The-atre the Club is sponsoring thefilm of "Moonlight Sonata", featur-ing the world-famous pianist andcomposer Ignace Paderewski. TheClub is trying to raise some much-needed funds; and tickets will be .available either at the Bookery, orfrom any of the members of <QieCommittee in charge, Mrs. W. E~"Stark; Mrs. D. B. Holden, Mrs. J.S. Capen, Mrs. R. B. Verdery, MissLoretta Salmon, and some assist-ing members. This is a wonderfulchance to see Paderewski even clos-er than one could do in the concerthall. And the slight plot whichplays around the performance ofthe famous pianist is pleasing.

The Literature department of theClub presents on Friday, March10, at 3 o'clock, Dr. George H. Bad-ger, of Orlando, who will discussthe philosophy of Lin Yutang's"The Importance of Living". Tothose who have already read thismuch talked-of book it will be ofinterest to get the evaluation ofone who has lived so long and sorichly as Dr. Badger. To the restit will be a splendid opportunity toreceive the message of an Orientalphilosopher (from an honoredpreacher and Occidental philoso-pher.
