A photograph of Mrs. Willie Smith.

Mrs. Willie Smith

Ninety years old and a resident of De Pugh Nursing Home, Mrs. Smith moved to Winter Park in 1932 with her husband and four children.   Her husband worked for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the young family lived in the "section house," railroad-owned housing which stood near Webster and Pennsylvania Avenue.   Rent was $2 per month.  The family of two working parents and eight children later moved to their own home on Morse Boulevard.
