COL. JOHN B. DELL PASSED AWAY THURSDAY AT 4:30 PM
Col. John B. Dell passed away at his home in this city Thursdayafternoon, May 21, at 4:30 o'clock, the result of an illness whichextended over a period of fourteen weeks. About
eight weeks ago, his physician advised that he be carried to a sanitariumin Jacksonville for an operation, the recommendations being made as alast resort to prolong the life of the gentleman who had spent his entireexistence among us and who was looked upon as one of our best and noblestcitizens.
The operation was successful and for a time Col. Dell seemed to improve.However, at intervals he had sinking periods, each one being a littlemore acute, and he became worse gradually from the date that he returnedto his home. His return, however, was recommended by the specialist inJacksonville, as they had done all possible toward his restoration in thesuccessful performance of the operation. Col. Dell was partiallyunconscious since last Tuesday.
Few men in Florida were more widely known among the older citizens ofthe state, and his passing will cause sincere regret among thousands, notonly in this, but other counties. Col. Dell was in his seventy-sixthyear and was a native of Alachua having been born at old Newnansville.When the war between the states came on, he shouldered his musket andwent through the memorable conflict a member of Co. F, Second FloridaRegiment. At the close of the war, he engaged in farming near Trentonand was one of the largest planters in the state for many years. Heowned much property in his early life, among his holdings being sometracts of phosphate lands. He moved to Gainesville in the latternineties.
Col. Dell was many times honored by the electorate of this county, andtheir trust was not misplaced.. He was a member of the state senate oneterm and served in the house of representatives two terms. He was loyalto the Democratic Party and took pride in upholding its policies. He waslikewise generous to a fault, and following the disastrous storm which,in 1896, swept over a portion of this county, devastating everything inits path and making paupers out of scores of families, he joined the bandof noble men who went through the stricken territory distributingsupplies and ministering to those upon whom misfortune had visited. Hewas a member of the Methodist Church and lived the life befitting aChristian.
Surviving deceased are his wife and five children, who were with himthroughout his last illness. The children are Mrs. E. Lartigue, J.B.Dell, Jr. and J.Bloxham Dell of this city and Mrs. J. L. Cloud, and Mrs.Henry N. LeRoy of Alachua. Among other relatives are one brother, Capt.J. Maxey Dell of this city, and a sister, Mrs. E.B. Williams ofJacksonville.
The funeral will be held at the residence this afternoon at 3:30 o'clockby Rev. Charnelle H. Summers, pastor of the First Methodist Church, andinterment will be made at Evergreen Cemetery. The arrangements are incharge of the Thomas Undertaking Company.

The writing is ornate, fadedand hard to read. This marriage was record #28 in Book I which startedwith record #25. The numbering of the records is not consistent with thedates.

The 1840 federal census for Newnansville, Alachua County, Florida,page 163 lists Warren Harville as head of household of one free whitemale 20-30 years (probably Warren); one free white male 30 to 40 years(unknown), two free white females under 5 years (Martha and unknown) andone free white female 20-30 years (probably Eliza Ann). There are noslaves; two members of the household are engaged in agriculture. Thecensus was taken as of 1 June 1840.

At the end of 1824, Alachua County was organized as a political unitof the new Territory of Florida. The Seminole inhabitants of the Alachuaregion had recently been ordered to a reservation, and land was availablethere for white settlers. Early in 1826, a post office was establishedin the area called "Dell's P.O." It derived its name from the Dellbrothers, who had first visited the Alachua region during the "PatriotWar" (1812-1814) and had later returned to settle there. In 1828, thesettlement near Dell's P.O. was officially made the Alachua County seatand named "Newnansville" in honor of a Patriot War hero, Daniel Newnan.Newnansville became the junction of several important trails throughfrontier Florida, including the Bellamy Road, a cross-Florida routeauthorized by Congress in 1824 as the first federal road in the newterritory. In 1832, when Columbia County was formed, it includedNewnansville. Newnansville was returned to Alachua County when the SantaFe River became the county line in 1835. During the Second Seminole War(1835-1842), hundreds of displaced refugee settlers were settled atNewnansville and also at Fort Gilleland, a nearby military post built in1836.
After the hostilities were concluded, Newnansville prospered as acommercial center for the expanding Middle Florida frontier. The chiefproducts of the area were corn, cotton, and after the Civil War, citrus.
Except for a few years between 1832 and 1839, Newnansville served as theAlachua County seat until 1854. In that year, the political center ofthe county was moved to the new railroad town of Gainesville. During thenext three decades, Newnansville slowly declined in population andimportance. The community was dealt a final blow in 1884, when theSavannah, Florida and Western Railroad bypassed it. A new town, Alachua,grew up near that railroad. As the years passed, the residents ofNewnansville moved there or elsewhere. By the 1970's only a few tracesremained of the former community, most notable of which is theNewnansville Historic Cemetery.

Jesse S. was born to Warren and Martha Harville about 1842 inAlachua County, Florida.

After the Indian Wars in Florida, the Florida Armed Occupation Act of1842 was devised to encourage settlement in central Florida. Settlementof this area would provide a buffer zone between the Indians in the southand the populated areas of North Florida. The Florida Armed OccupationAct was similar to the yet-to-come Homestead Act of 1862. In addition tothe basic provisions of the Homestead Act, the Florida Armed OccupationAct stipulated a settler must claim land removed from a mannedfortification and must be ready, willing and able to bear arms in theevent of Indian troubles. The fact that much of the land to be settledhad been distributed by Spanish and British grants created lingeringownership problems.

The Florida Armed Occupation Act claim of a Warren Harville, as headof family, under permit number 186 filed at the Newnansville Land Officein Alachua County, Florida, 31 January 1843, was valid. He had become aresident of Florida in December 1833.
