James Ellwood Bartlett
It was still the horse and buggy era. Fuel for the horses, of course, was needed on a daily basis. The feed and grain trade was a lucrative profession, if you were a shrewd merchant. James Elwood Bartlett was certainly such a businessman. He owned feed and grain mills, retail stores where he sold his finished products and grain elevators.
He was the largest individual feed and grain operator in the state of Michigan. Being the astute merchant that he was, maybe he foresaw the horseless future that was rapidly approaching. Or maybe he was just bitten by the warm weather sunshine bug.
Whatever the reason, in 1915, at the age of 43, he sold his large and tremendously successful business and said to his wife Nellie, "Let's take the whole winter off and go down to this place we're hearing about, Boca Grande." The Bartletts arrived in Boca Grande with their four children and another on the way.
Leah Lasbury, longtime Englewood resident, is the youngest daughter of Nellie Allen and J.E. Bartlett. She recalls her father was immediately taken with Florida. He travelled all over the state, exploring different areas before he started investing.
He bought extensive orange groves in Fort Ogden, property in Venice and Winter Park. He opened offices in Tampa, Sarasota and Winter Park, but he was most partial to the Lemon Bay area. He thought the bay spectacular and the fishing fabulous. So in the early 1920s, as the Florida boom was going strong, he started buying land here in Englewood. At one point in time, he was one of the largest land owners in our area. He owned about 40,000 acres altogether, some of which is now Manasota Key and Casperson Beach.
One part of his holdings included 16,000 acres that started on the north side of Dearborn Street and meandered unevenly northward beyond Forked Creek. On the east side of State Road 776, there still is an area that is on the record as Bartlett Subdivision. He owned the 5,000 acres that today is platted as the Overbrook Gardens Development. It was probably 1922 when Bartlett bought that piece of land for a total of $700,000 or about $43 an acre. "His land also encompassed what is now Englewood Isles and Alameda Isles" says Leah Lasbury.
"But then the debacle hit Florida in 1927. Everybody in Florida lost everything. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the BLE, went broke also. They had built the town of Venice, and the town really became a true ghost town.
"Now this is really interesting," continues Leah, "There was one master mortgage on the town. All of those little houses and all the various component parts were included in one mortgage. So, when things began to pick up a little bit, nothing could be purchased because of this one mortgage. My father found out Kingsbury Curtis, he owned Curtis Publishing Company that put out the Saturday Evening Post, held the mortgage. He lived somewhere in the east and my Dad went up there and explained to him that the whole town was being held back. Not one piece of property could be released. Well, my dad got him to agree to break the condition and release individual parcels.
"I think that was my father's greatest contribution to the area. He was the one who broke the log jam and opened things up in the whole Venice area."

The Bartlett Family
James Elwood Bartlett was the largest individual feed and grain operator in the state of Michigan. Being the astute merchant he was, maybe he foresaw the horseless future that was rapidly approaching. Or maybe he was just bitten by the warm weather sunshine bug. What ever the reason by 1915 he had sold his very successful business and relocated with his wife Nellie and their four children to Boca Grande.
Soon another child was born who would later become a prominent Englewood citizen, Leah Bartlett Lasbury. She said her father bought extensive orange groves in several parts of Florida, hotels and in the early 1920s started buying land here in Englewood. At one point in time, he was one of the largest land owners in our area. He owned about 40,000 acres altogether, some of which is now Manasota Key and Casperson Beach.
One part of his holdings included 16,000 acres that started on the north side of Dearborn Street and meandered unevenly north beyond Forked Creek. It encompassed what are now the residential areas of Alameda Isles, Englewood Isles and Overbrook Gardens. Mr. Bartlett once took Sgt. Alvin C. York, the famous W.W.I hero, on a fishing trip out of Englewood.

John Charles Cochran of San Diego, CA , peacefully passed away at his home on the morning of August 7, 2023. John was 81 years old. His life stood as a true testament to love, family, giving back to his community, and travel.
Educated at Gilman School in Baltimore, with early admission to Princeton, John's insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to earn a degree in Economics from Princeton University. He further enriched his academic journey by obtaining an MBA from Columbia University in New York. John's professional odyssey began in 1968, marked by impactful stints at companies such as Armour Dial, Handyman, and the County of San Diego.
In 1981, John's path intertwined with Sue Lasbury's at a Sierra Club gathering, sparking a lifelong partnership. After a 14-year courtship, they exchanged vows in 1995, and their love story unfurled against the backdrop of San Diego.
His unwavering commitment to volunteerism was a hallmark of his character, evident in his roles as a San Diego Opera docent, a supernumerary in 39 operas, a Midway docent, and a devoted volunteer at the San Diego Zoo's fundraising events. Driven by a love for exploration, John and Sue embarked on journeys to distant and nearby corners, including cherished biannual trips to New York City. There, they immersed themselves in the latest offerings of Broadway, opera, ballet at Lincoln Center, and the rich artistic tapestry of institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney, the Guggenheim, and beyond. His fascination with Alexander Hamilton, ignited by witnessing the original cast of "Hamilton," led them to traverse historic sites in Manhattan and Washington, D.C.
A man of remarkable intellect, John reveled in delving into the realms of politics and current events. His agile mind eagerly absorbed knowledge, and he remained well-informed about the ever-evolving world around him. He also derived immense joy from simple pleasures, from watching Padres baseball to closely following the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III.
Affectionately known as "Kupkake," John's heart embraced his family without bounds. His endless generosity and care touched all who knew him, and his unwavering pride in his community was an inspiration. John Cochran will forever be etched in memory as a quintessential gentleman, exuding kindness to all he encountered. His love and influence will continue to enrich our lives, and his memory will forever inspire us to embrace life's adventures with the same passion and grace he so exquisitely embodied.
Survived by his beloved soulmate of 42 years, Sue Lasbury, John also leaves behind his sister Linda Gillard (husband: Lee), two children, and their spouses: Christine Taylor (husband: J.T.) of Austin, TX , and Don Darrow (wife: Diane) of San Diego, CA . John's legacy radiates through his two cherished grandchildren, James and Drake Taylor. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, John Andrews Cochran and Virginia Cook Cochran.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. John's final resting place will be at Holy Cross Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in John's memory to San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance or the USS Midway Museum. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated caregivers from Hospice by the Sea for their exceptional care.

Joshua Coffin Chase was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, on September 23, 1858, to Edwin T. Chase and Lucia Coffin Chase. He attended Philadelphia Central High School and graduated in 1878. He then began working in Philadelphia, and later New York City, as an accountant and as a salesman.
In 1884 his brother Sydney successfully urged Chase to move to Sanford, Florida. Together they started the business Chase & Co., where they sold fire insurance and fertilizer. As the company expanded, Joshua and his brother began to acquire citrus groves. They set out to grow, process and market their own produce and experienced great success in this venture. Together the brothers began to acquire citrus packinghouses around the region.
On February 24, 1892, Joshua married Sarah Jane Whitner of Fort Reed, Florida. Together they had two children, Franklin and John Chase. The year 1894 proved to be a very bad year for Joshua: he suffered the death of his wife and the widespread destruction of his citrus groves during the severe frosts of 1894 and 1895. Chase & Co. suffered great losses in all facets of their enterprises. Like most growers, the Chase brothers turned to the cultivation of celery while their groves recovered.
While his brother continued to revive their business, Joshua moved to California to become the manager of the Earl Fruit Company. Later, he moved to St. Louis to manage United Fruit Company. While working with the fruit and vegetable industries in other states, he learned new ways of managing Florida citrus.
By 1904, the citrus industry in Florida had recovered, and Joshua moved back to Florida to establish a branch office of Chase & Co. in Jacksonville. He also undertook a restructuring of Chase & Co. to make their business more efficient. On May 24, 1904 he married Mary Justice Lee of Philadelphia. Together they would have one daughter, Cecelia Justice Chase.
From his new office in Jacksonville, Chase became highly involved in the sales and shipping of fruit and vegetables across the state. The brothers became very involved with railroads, with Sydney developing new rail-lines to help with the transportation of citrus. Among Joshua's greatest achievements is the effort he put into reducing freight rates on Florida fruits and vegetables. He is recognized as being the first to actively work at reducing the freight rates. His efforts culminated in the Interstate Commerce Commission's decision to force lower freight rates on Florida produce in 1907. During World War I Joshua was selected to be the Jacksonville Manager of the Hoover European Relief Campaign, designed to send aide to a war ravaged Europe.
The 1920's saw Chase & Co. facing conflicts with the newly formed Florida Citrus Exchange. Despite the disagreements between the two organizations, Joshua became the president of the exchange in 1930 and 1931.
Later in his life, Joshua and his wife moved to Winter Park, Florida, establishing themselves in an area that became known as "Millionaire's Row." He also became highly involved in philanthropic efforts, joining with his brother to become major supporters of Rollins College. Joshua also supported the Florida Historical Society, of which he was later president. He was also a president of the Southern Historical Association and served as the director for the Children's Home Society of Florida. Both Joshua and Sydney were made Honorary Members of the Florida State Horticultural Society in 1939.
After the death of his brother in 1941, Joshua continued to run Chase & Co. until his passing in 1949. Chase & Co. was well-known for never failing to make their payroll for fifty-six years, a fact which was largely attributable to Joshua Chase's talents as an accountant. Chase & Co. is still in operation today under the name of Sunniland, although the Chase family is no longer involved.

Killed at Braysdown Colliery
7 killed. The colliers on the night shift prepared for descent and stood upon the runner a platform which covered the mouth of the pit. They attached themselves to the chain by means of a hook and a piece of rope forming a noose for the reception of one leg. They were lifted off the platform by the engine with a view to its being moved over the mouth of the pit so they could be let down. After descending about 100 feet the drum wheel was observed to be revolving rapidly having become disconnected from the main wheel and in consequence of the frightful velocity the men were dashed to pieces on a projecting stage erected a few fathoms from the bottom of the pit. At the bottom waited young John Ashman and 21 years old Richard Pickford. Both were hit by the falling bodies and debris, receiving serious inJuries of which John died in about a week. Richard was said to be "still alive and hopes of his recovery entertained on 8th July, though he had a broken thigh and leg. Of Radstock. | Aylesbury, Richard (I71028)
