Collection restrictions, copyright limitations, or technical complications may hinder the archives' ability to provide access to unprocessed born digital materials","Thomas B. Mack never owned a grove or operated a packinghouse, but nevertheless was an integral member of Florida's Citrus community for over half a century. Born in Orangeburg, South Carolina, on October 27, 1914, Mack himself always said that he may have been destined to join the citrus world. His family moved to Florida seven years after his birth, initially landing in Wauchula before finally settling in Plant City. Mack's father was involved in agriculture, managing the Wauchula-based Kilgore Seed Company (later known as the Asgrow Florida Company) during the 1920s.","Mack graduated from Plant City High School in 1933 and entered the University of Florida in 1934 with the intention of becoming a doctor. At the urging of a professor, he abandoned his plan and instead declared himself an Ornamental Horticulture major. In 1937, Mack got married and was forced to drop out of school. He worked with a candy company in Plant City before joining the army at the outbreak of World War II. Mack served throughout the war and returned to the University of Florida in 1946, graduating in 1947 with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture with an emphasis in landscape architecture. Prior to graduation, Mack received offers from Florida Southern College to join in the formation of a new Citrus Department, but he considered the salary too low and declined the offer.","Mack gained employment with the Department of Education in what was dubbed a \"veteran's vocational agriculture\" program, designed to allow veterans to utilize their GI Bill of Rights. He was given control of the citrus aspect of the program despite only having a basic knowledge of the subject, leading to an arrangement with Dr. A.F. Camp of the University of Florida Research Center in Lake Alfred, where Dr. Camp would handle the bulk of the teaching while Mack supervised and handled the more rudimentary tasks. The program benefited Mack as much as the veterans, as he gained five years of experience in the field before the program ended in 1951. In this same year, Mack was once again approached by Florida Southern College, and this time he accepted.","Mack and his colleagues had their work cut out for them, as the college's idea of a vocational program, designed to train students for jobs in the field, rather than a research-based program, was not entirely accepted by those in the collegiate community. Nevertheless, Mack and his peers eventually developed a premier citrus program at the school. Florida Southern had the benefit of having a large amount of grove land on campus, which Mack and his colleagues used extensively. Mack and fellow faculty member Raymond Lyle used their connections as University of Florida graduates to set up opportunities for students to learn at the Research Center in Lake Alfred. In addition to regular full-time students, Mack and his colleagues set up a part-time program where students from within the industry could be sent to be educated in the field, often financially backed by their employers. Mack was most effective at gaining industry support for the citrus program as a whole, even reviving the idea of an advisory board composed of industry leaders, known as the Citrus Advisory Committee.","In 1958, the program gained publicity when it moved into the Polk Science Building, designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Mack was often called upon to act as a P.R. man to visitors and as a campus liaison with Wright himself. He was initially excited to hear of plans for the first Wright-designed greenhouse in the world, but was dismayed to find it essentially useless when it was built almost entirely out of concrete, according to the architect's calculations on light needed for plant growth. This forced Mack to adopt the role of fund raiser, and he eventually raised funds to build a functioning greenhouse, which he cheekily dubbed the \"Frank Lloyd Wright Greenhouse.\" Throughout the remainder of his career, Mack was an effective if sometimes eccentric fund raiser, raising money for an even larger greenhouse and eventually an entirely new citrus building, which he dedicated to one of the primary benefactors, naming it the Jack M. Berry Citrus Building. Mack raised funds for a mini-bus for the department at an alumni dinner in 1978, where he convinced those attending that the doors were locked and they would not be opened until money had been raised.","Mack became chair of the Department in 1971, re-naming it the Citrus Institute. He served in this capacity for ten years, retiring from full-time teaching in 1981. In his honor, a \"Roast Professor Mack Night\" was held, upon which he received a $12,000 retirement gift. He continued teaching on a part-time basis until 1999, earning the title of Professor Emeritus. Throughout his half-century of teaching, Mack had taught many of the current industry leaders.","His retirement in 1999 came about so he could spend more time organizing a citrus archives collection which he had been assembling since 1947, when he first entered the citrus field. Throughout the remainder of his life he collected citrus labels, magazines, text books, photographs, business records, and other forms of citrus memorabilia, eventually amassing the world's largest collection of citrus-related items. Over 60,000 photos and 1,000 labels are present, and many books date to the nineteenth century, including an 1881 copy of Orange Culture. Mack's intention was to create an open source of information for the industry. The Jack M. Berry Citrus building was built with room for the collection, but it eventually outgrew these facilities and had to be moved elsewhere on the Florida Southern campus. The collection currently is housed in the Sarah D. and L. Kirk McKay Jr. Archives Center on the Florida Southern campus.","Mack also made a name for himself as a writer. He was dubbed \"Mr. Citrifacts\" for his production of a column called \"Citrifacts,\" which contained random citrus-related trivia. These were later compiled into the books Citrifacts I and Citrifacts II, whose sale benefited Florida Southern College. He also wrote a column called Polk Garden Clinic, where he answered plant-related questions every Saturday for twelve years. He was also a prominent landscaper and community member, once having a day dedicated to him by the city of Lakeland.

His family moved to Florida seven years after his birth, initially landing in Wauchula before finally settling in Plant City.

He worked with a candy company in Plant City before joining the army at the outbreak of World War II. Mack served throughout the war and returned to the University of Florida in 1946, graduating in 1947 with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture with an emphasis in landscape architecture.

Camp of the University of Florida Research Center in Lake Alfred, where Dr. Camp would handle the bulk of the teaching while Mack supervised and handled the more rudimentary tasks.

Nevertheless, Mack and his peers eventually developed a premier citrus program at the school. Florida Southern had the benefit of having a large amount of grove land on campus, which Mack and his colleagues used extensively. Mack and fellow faculty member Raymond Lyle used their connections as University of Florida graduates to set up opportunities for students to learn at the Research Center in Lake Alfred. In addition to regular full-time students, Mack and his colleagues set up a part-time program where students from within the industry could be sent to be educated in the field, often financially backed by their employers.

He was initially excited to hear of plans for the first Wright-designed greenhouse in the world, but was dismayed to find it essentially useless when it was built almost entirely out of concrete, according to the architect's calculations on light needed for plant growth. This forced Mack to adopt the role of fund raiser, and he eventually raised funds to build a functioning greenhouse, which he cheekily dubbed the \"Frank Lloyd Wright Greenhouse.\" Throughout the remainder of his career, Mack was an effective if sometimes eccentric fund raiser, raising money for an even larger greenhouse and eventually an entirely new citrus building, which he dedicated to one of the primary benefactors, naming it the Jack M. Berry Citrus Building.

His family moved to Florida seven years after his birth, initially landing in Wauchula before finally settling in Plant City.

He worked with a candy company in Plant City before joining the army at the outbreak of World War II. Mack served throughout the war and returned to the University of Florida in 1946, graduating in 1947 with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture with an emphasis in landscape architecture.

Camp of the University of Florida Research Center in Lake Alfred, where Dr. Camp would handle the bulk of the teaching while Mack supervised and handled the more rudimentary tasks.

Nevertheless, Mack and his peers eventually developed a premier citrus program at the school. Florida Southern had the benefit of having a large amount of grove land on campus, which Mack and his colleagues used extensively. Mack and fellow faculty member Raymond Lyle used their connections as University of Florida graduates to set up opportunities for students to learn at the Research Center in Lake Alfred. In addition to regular full-time students, Mack and his colleagues set up a part-time program where students from within the industry could be sent to be educated in the field, often financially backed by their employers.

He was initially excited to hear of plans for the first Wright-designed greenhouse in the world, but was dismayed to find it essentially useless when it was built almost entirely out of concrete, according to the architect's calculations on light needed for plant growth. This forced Mack to adopt the role of fund raiser, and he eventually raised funds to build a functioning greenhouse, which he cheekily dubbed the \"Frank Lloyd Wright Greenhouse.\" Throughout the remainder of his career, Mack was an effective if sometimes eccentric fund raiser, raising money for an even larger greenhouse and eventually an entirely new citrus building, which he dedicated to one of the primary benefactors, naming it the Jack M. Berry Citrus Building.

Over 60,000 photos and 1,000 labels are present, and many books date to the nineteenth century, including an 1881 copy of Orange Culture. Mack's intention was to create an open source of information for the industry. The Jack M.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor. In 1970, plans were made for a 20th Birthday celebration to be held in Southern California and hosted by the five Affiliates in the Los Angeles area. It was to feature an \"all bromeliad show\". This celebration led to future Bromeliad World Conferences. The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\"","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor. In 1970, plans were made for a 20th Birthday celebration to be held in Southern California and hosted by the five Affiliates in the Los Angeles area. It was to feature an \"all bromeliad show\". This celebration led to future Bromeliad World Conferences. The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\"","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States.

The eldest of three, he had two younger brothers who also served in the armed forces during the Second World War: Waymon and Lloyd. His parents separated at an undisclosed time, and he grew up in nearby Merkel with his father and stepmother, Velma. Tillman did not complete his senior year of high school, choosing instead to enlist in the U.S. Army. Because he was only seventeen at the time, he had to do so with his father's permission. He was sworn in on March 14, 1941, in Abilene, Texas. By April 22, he had crossed the Pacific on the U.S. Republic and become a member of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's (USAFFE) Philippine Division, also known as the \"Polar Bears.\" He was assigned to F Company at Estado Mayor, the U.S. Army headquarters in Manila. During this time, he frequently wrote letters home to his father, brothers, and girlfriend Peggy.","The Japanese invaded on December 8, 1941, shortly after the U.S. declared war in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. By early January General Douglas MacArthur ordered the American and Filipino defenses to withdraw into the Bataan Peninsula, a plan known as \"War Plan Orange.\" The 31st Infantry covered USAFFE's retreat at Layac Junction. Though they were successful, it was captured soon afterward, marking the start of the Battle of Bataan which lasted from January 7, 1942, until April 9. Tillman was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army that very day. In addition to surviving the Bataan Death March, he was a prisoner of war (POW) in camps in the Philippines and later Japan. He was believed to be missing in action from the fall of Corregidor on May 7, 1942, until confirmed as a POW April 17, 1943.","Tillman was interned at eight camps over three and a half years, listed here in the names as he referred to them. In the Philippines, he was interned at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan (Hospital Side, #2, and #3), Lipa Batangas, Bilibid, and Las Pinas. He was transferred to Japan in July 1943 and interned at Tanagawa (aka Osaka POW Camp #4-B), Camp #8 (aka Fukuoka #8 Inatsuki), and Fukuoka Camp #11 (aka Hiroshima #4 Mukaijima). During this time, he kept a secret diary of important dates, recording his experience as a POW in short entries. Most notably, he describes the terrible working conditions, malnutrition, the Japanese guards' abuse, and his own poor health. He even had an appendectomy at Cabanatuan under primitive conditions. He describes interactions with other POWs, as well, most often about his friend J.B. McBride who was also from Merkel. McBride passed away during their internment at Camp O'Donnell on October 20, 1942.","Following the announcement of Imperial Japan's surrender, the Japanese abandoned Fukuoka Camp #11 on August 15, 1945. Rations were airdropped by Allied forces, which sustained the POWs until they were liberated. Tillman was officially returned to military control on September 12 at Konoya Airfield. From there, he flew to Okinawa where he was briefly reunited with his brother Waymon. On September 19 he left Okinawa for the Philippines. He stayed in Manila—partying with fellow soldiers, ex-POWs, and local women—until October 9 when he boarded the U.S.S. Marine Shark for the States. He landed in San Francisco sometime between October 30 and November 1, and eventually returned home to Merkel, Texas.","Tillman would go on to join and serve in the United States Air Force for twenty-six years, retiring as the highest enlisted rank of chief master sergeant. He was highly decorated, the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, the POW medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and four Purple Hearts. Among many duty stations—throughout the U.S., England, and even Japan—he was assigned as an instructor for the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State University (FSU). It was here where he met his wife Joyce, whom he married in 1951. They had five children together and were married until her death in 1997. Tillman passed away on October 25, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed January 2018","This link is Rutledge's obituary, offering a concise overview of his life, family, and achievements:  http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?pid=172966019","This collection relates to Sergeant Tillman Joe Rutledge, who served in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's Philippine Division.

The eldest of three, he had two younger brothers who also served in the armed forces during the Second World War: Waymon and Lloyd. His parents separated at an undisclosed time, and he grew up in nearby Merkel with his father and stepmother, Velma. Tillman did not complete his senior year of high school, choosing instead to enlist in the U.S. Army. Because he was only seventeen at the time, he had to do so with his father's permission. He was sworn in on March 14, 1941, in Abilene, Texas. By April 22, he had crossed the Pacific on the U.S. Republic and become a member of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's (USAFFE) Philippine Division, also known as the \"Polar Bears.\" He was assigned to F Company at Estado Mayor, the U.S. Army headquarters in Manila. During this time, he frequently wrote letters home to his father, brothers, and girlfriend Peggy.","The Japanese invaded on December 8, 1941, shortly after the U.S. declared war in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. By early January General Douglas MacArthur ordered the American and Filipino defenses to withdraw into the Bataan Peninsula, a plan known as \"War Plan Orange.\" The 31st Infantry covered USAFFE's retreat at Layac Junction. Though they were successful, it was captured soon afterward, marking the start of the Battle of Bataan which lasted from January 7, 1942, until April 9. Tillman was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army that very day. In addition to surviving the Bataan Death March, he was a prisoner of war (POW) in camps in the Philippines and later Japan. He was believed to be missing in action from the fall of Corregidor on May 7, 1942, until confirmed as a POW April 17, 1943.","Tillman was interned at eight camps over three and a half years, listed here in the names as he referred to them. In the Philippines, he was interned at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan (Hospital Side, #2, and #3), Lipa Batangas, Bilibid, and Las Pinas. He was transferred to Japan in July 1943 and interned at Tanagawa (aka Osaka POW Camp #4-B), Camp #8 (aka Fukuoka #8 Inatsuki), and Fukuoka Camp #11 (aka Hiroshima #4 Mukaijima). During this time, he kept a secret diary of important dates, recording his experience as a POW in short entries. Most notably, he describes the terrible working conditions, malnutrition, the Japanese guards' abuse, and his own poor health. He even had an appendectomy at Cabanatuan under primitive conditions. He describes interactions with other POWs, as well, most often about his friend J.B. McBride who was also from Merkel. McBride passed away during their internment at Camp O'Donnell on October 20, 1942.","Following the announcement of Imperial Japan's surrender, the Japanese abandoned Fukuoka Camp #11 on August 15, 1945. Rations were airdropped by Allied forces, which sustained the POWs until they were liberated. Tillman was officially returned to military control on September 12 at Konoya Airfield. From there, he flew to Okinawa where he was briefly reunited with his brother Waymon. On September 19 he left Okinawa for the Philippines. He stayed in Manila—partying with fellow soldiers, ex-POWs, and local women—until October 9 when he boarded the U.S.S. Marine Shark for the States. He landed in San Francisco sometime between October 30 and November 1, and eventually returned home to Merkel, Texas.","Tillman would go on to join and serve in the United States Air Force for twenty-six years, retiring as the highest enlisted rank of chief master sergeant. He was highly decorated, the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, the POW medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and four Purple Hearts. Among many duty stations—throughout the U.S., England, and even Japan—he was assigned as an instructor for the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State University (FSU). It was here where he met his wife Joyce, whom he married in 1951. They had five children together and were married until her death in 1997. Tillman passed away on October 25, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed January 2018","This link is Rutledge's obituary, offering a concise overview of his life, family, and achievements:  http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?pid=172966019","This collection relates to Sergeant Tillman Joe Rutledge, who served in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's Philippine Division.
