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.

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.

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.

Glenn Westfall, a retired professor of history, donated his Research Files to the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library during the summer of 2005 and a subsequent accession in 2006. The Subject Files follow an alphabetical arrangement and generally maintain the subject designations established by the donor. These boxes represent the largest portion of the collection (4.0 linear feet). Major holdings include research and primary source documents on the Alafia River area, the cigar industry in Florida, mutual aid societies, cultural activities in Ybor City, immigration patterns in the Tampa Bay region, and biographical files. Areas of special interest include clipping files that document activities in the Ocala during the 1880s and 1890s and records of gatherings from the Tampa Old Timers Association during the early 1970s. All manuscript materials in the second accession (boxes 10 and 11) fall into this category. Items in the Sanchez and Haya Real Estate Holdings boxes illustrate the business activities of a company that acquired and sold land parcels during the boom-era days of the cigar industry. Financial records from the late 1920s and early 1930s offer a portrait of the company's assets and liabilities. Abstracts of title provide historical research for various blocks and tracts of land in Ybor City. Thiese boxes also include correspondence sent and received by Martin Carrabello, a Tampa attorney who oversaw the estate after some members of the Sanchez and Haya families had passed away. The Serials and Periodicals box contains various publications collected by Westfall. In addition to newspaper articles and clippings written in the mid and late 1970s about the status of Ybor City, researchers may also consult various issues of the Bulletin of the Suncoast Archaeological Society (coverage 1976-1980) and articles and papers written by Westfall. In the Cigar Art and Miscellaneous Materials reside two distinct types of materials. The cigar art includes lithographic prints and images from cigar manufacturers and printers. This box also contains records of artillery training exercises at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, during the First World War. One item comprises the Government Documents series: the bound \"Register of Prisoners Confined in the County Jail of Hillsborough County, Florida,\" for the years 1904 though 1909. An index in the front provides the accession number of the prisoner; with that number, researchers can examine basic information about the prisoner, his physical makeup, the crime committed, and the disposition of the case. The Films and Media Materials includes three films. Two of these films describe the cigar industry in Ybor City and exist in 16mm format. The other film is 8mm.","USF Libraries - Tampa Special Collections","Westfall, L.

The Subject Files follow an alphabetical arrangement and generally maintain the subject designations established by the donor. These boxes represent the largest portion of the collection (4.0 linear feet). Major holdings include research and primary source documents on the Alafia River area, the cigar industry in Florida, mutual aid societies, cultural activities in Ybor City, immigration patterns in the Tampa Bay region, and biographical files. Areas of special interest include clipping files that document activities in the Ocala during the 1880s and 1890s and records of gatherings from the Tampa Old Timers Association during the early 1970s. All manuscript materials in the second accession (boxes 10 and 11) fall into this category. Items in the Sanchez and Haya Real Estate Holdings boxes illustrate the business activities of a company that acquired and sold land parcels during the boom-era days of the cigar industry. Financial records from the late 1920s and early 1930s offer a portrait of the company's assets and liabilities. Abstracts of title provide historical research for various blocks and tracts of land in Ybor City. Thiese boxes also include correspondence sent and received by Martin Carrabello, a Tampa attorney who oversaw the estate after some members of the Sanchez and Haya families had passed away. The Serials and Periodicals box contains various publications collected by Westfall.
