His real estate career began during childhood, when he purchased several lots from his father using money earned from various jobs outside of his eighth grade classroom. While making payments on these lots, Fuller improved them and sold them at a considerable profit. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1915, becoming St. Petersburg High School's first paid football coach. He went on to become a licensed real estate broker and was responsible for managing his father's real estate empire. For two years, Fuller worked as an editor for the  St. Petersburg Times  and the  Manatee River Journal.  Between 1925 and 1926, he opened the Jungle Prada shopping center, the Jungle Country Club Hotel, and the Piper-Fuller Flying Field, the city of St. Petersburg's first airfield. With the end of the economic boom in 1926, Walter Fuller lost much of his fortune. He became a supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential campaign in 1936 before going on to serve a two-year term in the Florida legislature. In 1940, Fuller ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Senate, and three years later, became the chief clerk of Florida's House of Representatives.

As a young adult, Clark was a butcher in a meat market before running for Broward County Sheriff in 1932. \nIn 1926, Clark married Avis Mae Mull and together they had a son named Curtis Clark. The couple later divorced and Clark married Odell Clark in 1937. ","In 1933 he became the Broward County Sheriff and served five terms until 1950. Walter Clark's career as sheriff is most noted by the lynching of African American field worker Reuben Stacey in 1935. Reuben Stacey was accused of attacking a white woman and was lynched while being transferred from the Broward County Courthouse to the Dade County jail. A grand jury investigated the lynching on July 23, 1935. The sheriff and his deputies in charge of the transfer were absolved of all wrongdoing in the crime.","Clark's time as Sheriff was also shaped by an incident in his first year in office that resulted in the Supreme Court Case Chambers v. Florida. It is clear from the evidence of both the State and four accused men that from May 14 to May 20, 1933 Sheriff Walter R. Clark other police officers subjected forty \"negro suspects\" of a murder to intense and random questioning. On May 20th, four of the suspects \"broke\" and confessed to the murder. Chambers, Davis, Williamson and Woodward were sentenced by an all-white jury to death by electric chair. S.D. McGill took up their defense case, and the legal battle to free them dragged on for years.  On February 12, 1940, Justice Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court overturned the four men's convictions. In 1942, after 9 years of imprisonment, the four men were declared not guilty and released. Chambers vs. Florida was a landmark case in the US Supreme Court that set the precedent that police pressure, mental torture, and threats of violence violates the Due Process Clause.","Walter Clark was also accused of compliance in multiple illegal gambling institutions. In 1950, Senator Estes Kefauver and his committee began an investigation of Sheriff Clark and his connection to illegal gambling in Broward County. Kefauver exposed Clark's involvement in the Broward Novelty Company which alledgedly owned slot machines and ran an illegal lottery. However, at the end of the trial, Clark was found not guilty on all counts. ","Walter Clark died of leukemia on April 26, 1951.","This collection received file level processing.

During the Civil War, he served in the 10th Rhode Island Volunteers, and was later employed in the shipping business in Boston. In 1871, Warren came to Pensacola to work for the Pensacola Fish Company, an outgrowth of the city's first ice factory, and soon became a partner in the Company. In 1873, Warren returned to New England to marry Fannie Clark Stearns of Bath (ME). His brother-in-law, Silas Stearns, joined them in Pensacola, and in 1880, they established Warren and Company, a partnership. Later, the name was changed to the Warren Fish Company.\n In 1881, Eugene Edwin Saunders and Thomas Everett Welles, bought the equipment and boats from the Pensacola Fish Company and founded E.E. Saunders and Company. About that time, construction of the railroad into Pensacola was completed, providing improved access to large inland and northern markets. For many years, the E.E. Saunders and Warren Fish Company had little or no competition. Working together harmoniously, they prospered. As a result, Pensacola, by the turn of the 20th Century, became the center of the commercial fishing industry, particularly for red snapper and grouper. In 1889, William Hayes, a Scottish sea captain, became Andrew Warren's partner. That year, the Warren Fish Company built a rail spur to its docks at the end of the Baylen Street Wharf, a 2,000-foot pier.\n Besides red snapper and grouper, the Warren Fish Company handled large quantities of Spanish mackerel, mullet, bluefish, trout, shrimp, oysters, and a general line of other Gulf-produced seafoods. Its principal markets were in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee with lesser quantities going into eastern states, Colorado, and the Dakotas. Pensacola and Mobile (AL) were the principal ports at which red snapper were landed.\n Despite its commercial success, the Warren Fish Company experienced several misfortunes during the first half of the 20th Century, which included weathering devastating hurricanes in 1906 and 1916. In addition, a Company sailing ship, the Silas Stearns (named for Warren's brother-in-law), and its crew were seized by a Mexican government ship near the Campeche Banks off the Mexican coast. The crew was released but the ship was confiscated. After Andrew Fuller Warren's death on October 15, 1919, according to the Friends of the St. Johns Historic Cemetery, the local red snapper and grouper market suffered periods of economic decline due to over-fishing and increased world competition. Frances W. Taylor noted in his \"History and Method of Operation of the Warren Fish Company\" that competition among larger seafood producers during the mid 20th Century was \"rather friendly, and that smaller producers frequently undersold them.\" However, during seasons when weather conditions were favorable for the smaller producers' vessels, \"they gave the Warren Fish Company considerable trouble, particularly in the southern markets.\"\n According to a letter from Taylor to Norman L. Kilpatrick (July 9, 1954), the Warren Fish Company became an incorporated business in 1899, and was re-incorporated in 1942. Its charter was broadened to permit operation of cold storage plants and shipyards, primarily to enable the company to bid on construction of small wooden ships for the U.S. Army and Navy. The Baylen Street Wharf Company, originally incorporated in 1889, owned the real estate on which the Warren Fish Company's plant was located. Its stock was always held by the Warren Fish Company's stockholders. In November 1949, the Baylen Street Wharf Company merged with the Warren Fish Company.\n While it is known that the Warren Fish Company operated through the mid 1950s, there is no evidence that it still exists in 2006.","Norman L. Kilpatrick, Director of Libraries at Florida State University (FSU) and Secretary of FSU's Southern Business History Center, in a letter (July 9, 1954) to Frances W. Taylor, President of the Warren Fish Company, thanked Taylor for sending 95 volumes of its business records, which Kilpatrick felt would be very helpful to students in history or business. These records were subsequently transferred to the FSU Libraries from the Southern Business History Center.","A preliminary finding aid to the collection was completed in 1989. The finding aid was updated in 2006.","The Warren Fish Company Records document the operations of a large commercial fishery operation that handled and shipped red snapper and grouper in the Pensacola area during the late 19th and 20th Centuries. The collection is comprised of the following series: accounting journals, cash books, cash journals, checkbook stubs, daybook stubs, order and delivery records, fish journals, fish receipt books, ship supply books, transfer journals, which listed amounts transferred from various journals to general ledgers, and trial balances. Trial balance books were used to alert bookkeepers to possible errors in their account books. In addition, there are account books kept by the Baylen Street Wharf Company. This collection also includes  Andrew Fuller Warren's account book for Boston, from March 6, 1869, to May 24, 1871. These records can be used by historians and business historians studying the growth of one of the nation's longest operating commercial fishing enterprises.","Copyright has not been transferred to the Florida State University Libraries.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections \u0026 Archives.

Kilpatrick (July 9, 1954), the Warren Fish Company became an incorporated business in 1899, and was re-incorporated in 1942. Its charter was broadened to permit operation of cold storage plants and shipyards, primarily to enable the company to bid on construction of small wooden ships for the U.S. Army and Navy. The Baylen Street Wharf Company, originally incorporated in 1889, owned the real estate on which the Warren Fish Company's plant was located. Its stock was always held by the Warren Fish Company's stockholders. In November 1949, the Baylen Street Wharf Company merged with the Warren Fish Company.\n While it is known that the Warren Fish Company operated through the mid 1950s, there is no evidence that it still exists in 2006."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNorman L.

Her parents were physician Hayes Joseph Burnett and tennis player Roberta (\"Bertha\") Ball Burnett. She was the eldest of four children and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. ","She graduated from Miner Normal School, Washington D.C. in 1925 with the intention of becoming a teacher. Wesley worked as a library assistant in the Miner Normal School library where she worked with librarian Lula V. Allan (1879-1968) who encouraged her to pursue a career in library science. Wesley enrolled in Howard University in 1926 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She then enrolled at Colombia University's School of Library Science where she received a Master's in Library Science in 1931. ","In 1929 Dorothy married artist and art history professor James Amos Porter (1905-1970) with whom she had her only daughter, Constance \"Coni\" Porter Uzelac (1939-2012). James A. Porter graduated with honors from Howard University in 1927 and began teaching art there the next semester. His classic book and standard reference work,  Modern Negro Art , proved to be one of the most informative sources to date on the creativity of the Black artists.","In 1930, Dorothy Porter began work as curator of the Moorland Foundation at Howard University, (now known as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center) and worked to build the library's collections documenting African, African American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Hispanic history and culture. After becoming the Curator at Howard University in 1930, started thinking about how to catalog books by Black authors and related to Black history and culture. At the time, she recognized that the Dewey Decimal System only had two numbers (for \"Slavery\" and for \"Colonization\") under which all works related to Black people or Black authors could be cataloged. In response, during the first few years of her Curatorship, she created a new classification system that reflected the true breadth of the books available on topics related to Black people and by Black authors. She disseminated the classification system to other libraries, and published it in 1939. Porter worked at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center until her retirement in 1973.","James Porter's died in 1970, and in 1979 Dorothy married Charles Harris Wesley (1891-1987), a noted historian, educator, and author. After receiving his master's degree from Yale University in 1913, he taught at Howard University from 1913 until 1942. Between 1920 and 1925, he also earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the fourth African American to do so. He served as President of Wilberforce University from 1942-1947 and of Central State College, Ohio from 1947 until 1965. ","Charles Harris Wesley authored more than 15 books on African-American history over the course of his career. His first book, Negro Labor in the United States, was hailed as one of the most useful works on the role of African-Americans in industry available in the 1920s. Dorothy worked with Charles on a variety of research projects even prior to their marriage, and continued to do so until Charles's death in 1987. ","After her retirement from Howard University in 1973, Dorothy Porter Wesley worked as a consultant for a variety of institutions and foundations such as the Radcliffe University's Black Women Oral History Archive. She also continued to write articles and books.","In 1994 President Bill Clinton presented her with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Charles Frankel Award. Dorothy Porter Wesley died in Broward County, Florida in 1995.","The book  William Cooper Nell, Nineteenth-Century African American Abolitionist, Historian, Integrationist: Selected Writings 1832-1874  (2002) was the last research project that Charles and Dorothy worked on together, and was posthumously published by Dorothy's daughter, Constance Porter Uzelac. Uzelac worked as a medical librarian. After her mother's death, she became the Executive Director of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Archive and managed James A. Porter's art collection.","In 2000, Constance Uzelac worked with the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, James Findlay, on an exhibition of her mother's collection that was displayed at the Broward County Main Library in February and March of 2001. Samuel F. Morrison, Director of the Broward County Library, was instrumental in bringing the collection to exhibition at the Bienes, and would further encourage the purchase of the materials from Uzelac for the newly-opened AARLCC Special Collections in December 2002. Constance later worked at Broward County Library, cataloging a portion of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection at the AARLCC Special Collections. Constance married Milan Uzelac in 1965. They had no children. She died in Broward County in 2012.","This collection received file level processing. This finding aid may be updated to reflect new descriptions as well as acquisitions to the collection.","Part of Dorothy Porter Wesley's papers also reside at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library Repository at Yale University.

Porter papers at Emory University. Citation: James A. Porter papers, Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, Emory University.","The Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection documents the professional and personal life of librarian and bibliophile, Dorothy Porter Wesley.

West, of Valdosta, Georgia, with his brothers Eugene E. West and Abram Hunter West, owned the West Yellow Pine Lumber Company, in addition to various merchandising, lumbering, and turpentine manufacturing enterprises in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. Based at Olympia, in Lowndes County, Georgia, the West Yellow Pine Lumber Company consisted of a lumber mill and a store (possibly a company store). These records indicate that they also incorporated a railway, the Madison Southern Railway.\n W.J. Kelly and William P. Smith of Jacksonville, and John W. West chartered the Madison Southern Railway Company in 1906. Their purpose was to build a 60-mile line from Madison southward to Deadman's Bay (now Steinhatchee), Florida. According to Elmer Spear, in his Madison County Florida Family History Book (2002), for reasons unknown, the road was not immediately built. Before and after the turn of the century, several roads were projected to Deadman's Bay with the idea of developing a deep-water port at that location. However, none of these efforts proved fruitful because offshore barrier reefs rendered the construction cost of such a port prohibitive.\n The Madison Southern Railroad was finally built in 1909 by the West Yellow Pine Lumber Company, and incorporated by John W. West, W.J. Kelly, and C.P. Kelly of Madison, all lumbermen doing business in Madison County. The lumber company used the Madison Southern to haul lumber from its sawmill at Weston, Florida, 43 miles south of Madison, and from its logging camp at Waco, Florida, three miles south of Weston, to the sawmill. It also hauled lumber from two other sawmills, one at Lillian, Florida and one at Alamo, Florida, five and six miles, respectively, south of Madison, and served a turpentine still owned by C.P. Kelly. The 6.7 mile road was built with 40-pound rails, most of which were leased from the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.\n The Madison Southern Railway's original equipment included three locomotives, one passenger car, and 33 freight cars. By 1919, the number of locomotives was reduced to one and the number of freight cars to five.\n After several good years of hauling forest products, traffic on the Madison Southern gradually declined. During 1921, according to Spear, only 11,219 tons of inbound and outbound freight were handled and total passenger revenue was only $37.15. By coincidence, the railroad's charter expired on May 22, 1922, about the same time the West Yellow Pine Lumber Company's sawmill was shut down and dismantled. The road and equipment reverted back to the lumber company, which used it to scrap their logging camps and tram roads into the woods. On December 18, 1922, the Madison Southern applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to abandon the line.","Special Collections Department staff processed the MSS 1-25 accession in 1982 and the MSS 1987-1 in April 1987.","The MSS 1-25 accession of the West Yellow Pine Lumber Company Records includes correspondence, letterpress books, time books, invoices and other financial records, lumber reports, railway waybills, and records of the Madison Southern Railway.
