Florence (Zone Mills):
...
W.A. Dunbar's description of early Florence was published in the Florence Quill (November 9, 1916)...
"I will now endeavour to give some of my earliest recollections of Florence and a few of its earliest inhabitants. Prominent among these was Colonel G.P. Kerby, a genial old gentleman of United Empire Loyalist stock, who, until the infimities of old age compelled him to retire, held the office of village postmaster. He was a consistent pillar of the English Episcopal Church and in politics an uncompromising conservative. One of his sons, Edwin, was the only magistrate in the place..."
