The wonderful East
Pasco Historical Society web site plans to close down in July 2017.
I thank the creators of that web site, J. W. Hunnicutt, Nell Moody
Woodcock, and Theresa Osbron Smith, who have given me permission to
import the content of their site to my fivay.org web site. Most of the EPHS
material can be found here on the Lacoochee page, but there is content
also on other fivay.org pages. Most articles on this page are
from the EPHS website. -Jeff Miller
