Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now.

“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home.

St. Elizabeth grew up in the upper class of society. She was a voracious reader and studied everything from the Bible to modish books.

In 1794, Elizabeth married William Seton, a wealthy young man whom she fell in love with.

Are morals always right? This was one of the big questions that changed the moral driven society of the late 1800s. At this time many things were changing; settlers were heading west, women were gaining rights, and with that the morals of many people also began to change. At that time, morals played a huge role on the lives of the early settlers, but some of these beliefs didn’t always lead to positive change like many of these people hoped. A large amount of people had very narrow minded ideas of morals, and because people’s actions were extremely moral based, a lot of people in society thought they were making many positive changes, when they were actually doing the opposite. A good example of this is Harriet Bishop. While she

St.Michael the Archangel actually helps people so much even some people today. St.Michael helps people find the courage to face danger and carry on (St.Michael the archangel 12). St.Michael helps/affects people today because he has a prayer which helps and makes people feel stronger every time they pray it (Saint Michael Center 4).

The Archangel St.Michael is the patron saint of the warrior, who catholics have designated as the protector of those who strive to preserve security, safety, and peace (St.Michael the archangel 1).

Not long after that, the Adelburgers and their contacts were on the move once again, working for those who were not Ryanites like they were. Upon making contact with the freed slaves at their temporary hideout at 2:18AM, Walther and his boys were shocked to hear even more details about the stories behind their enslavement. As horrific and nauseous as it was, only St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the other patron saint of Catholic Education, seemed to comprehend the important, profound truth of the matter. During the days of her life, she once said: “Disorder in the society is the result of disorder in the family.”

St. Elizabeth was known for helping the poor and sick and started Catholic schools and orphanages. After 16 years of being a Catholic, she died of tuberculosis on January 4, 1821. She was canonized on September 14, 1975; she was also the first native-born American to be canonized. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is the patron saint of in laws, abortions, widows, the death of parents, and opposition of the church authority. This is the wonderful life of Saint Elizabeth Ann

    Women’s rights in the United States have come a long way in the last two centuries. Women have gone from being seen as minorities to being viewed as powerful and independent by many. Basic rights such as initiating divorce, working and earning a salary, going to college, owning property, and voting were denied to them. The list of these denied rights goes on, but women such as Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Elizabeth Blackwell worked to change this. They helped women gain the rights they know today.

Elizabeth Blackwell was an inspiring, dedicated, hard-working woman. Because of her willingness to never give up and pursue her dream to become a doctor, she was an important role model in many young girl’s lives. According to Elizabeth Flexner in her book, Century of Struggle: the Women's Rights Movement in the United States, “once fairly launched on her endeavor, the challenge of overcoming the tremendous obstacles in her path outweighed all other considerations: ‘The idea of winning a doctor’s degree gradually assumed the aspect of a great moral struggle, and the moral fight possessed immense attraction for me’” (Flexner 110). With this, Elizabeth became the world’s first female doctor.
