from Charles S. Miley News Tribune Editor Emeritus
There were about a hundred of them in all. Their headquarters were in the Indiantown section.
September 7, 8, 9, and 10th in the year of 1878, there was a gale with a heavy rain. The Ten Mile creek's banks overflowed. When the water came up in the floor of our cabin I built a rough boat in the hall and poled my people across the creek to Asbury Sellers' place. Finding them gone, I became somewhat alarmed. Then I poled on east to John Sellers and spent a night with their family. Next day we all took refuge on the "mound"-still standing, what is left of it, just south of the road about a mile west of Five Mile.
There were 32 of us men, women and children and we spent there two days and one night, We had no shelter and were drenched to the skin. We managed to build a fire which we kept going with driftwood. We brought provisions along but were gladdened by the addition of a deer which swam up and which we killed with a pole. On returning home we found the water had been up two or three feet in the house, according to the marks on the wall.

My great uncles, sons of my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars, John
Thomas and Wesley (Wes) Sellars, were in the sawmilling business
together most of their lives. They started with a sawmill owned
by
their father but after there was some dissatisfaction from him about
how
they ran the business, great grandpa just gave it to them. That
was
near Cairo in what is now Grady County, Georgia.
Depending on when this actually happened, Cairo might have still been
in Thomas County, then.
At some point they moved their sawmilling operation to Merritt
Island
(near Cocoa Beach), Brevard County, Florida.
My uncle William
("Willie") Charles White moved to Brevard County to work at their
sawmill there. My uncle John (Louie) White also worked for the
Sellars
brothers at that sawmill and bought a Model T that he was quite proud of
with some of his earnings. Uncle Louie enlisted in the U.S. Army and
died at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1928... so this will give a rough idea
of the timeframe. Though it was rather small because the coastal
location stunted growth, there was still virgin timber to be cut in
the
Brevard County area at that time. This sawmill operation was probably
centered around a contract with "the railroad" to cut cross-ties.
My father gave me this information orally in a conversation on 8
February 2001.

Miami Herald, The (FL) - May 18, 2003
Deceased Name: Matthew B. Sellers III
FL United States
SELLERS MATTHEW B., III, passed away Monday morning, May 12th. He is survived
by his beloved wife, Marilyn Witt Sellers; his daughters, Wendy Sellers and
Tracy Sellers; his grandchildren, Morgan M. Howell, Shannon Howell Esco, Danielle
Livoti, Gabriella Livoti, Farah Ali, and Jason Ali; his great grandchildren,
Alexandra Esco and Zachary Matthew Esco; his stepsons, Fred Witt, Chuck Witt
and Lou Witt, all from Fort Lauderdale. He is also survived by his brother,
John C. Sellers of Corona del Mar, CA, and his sister, Patricia Coulter of Duxbury,
MA and their families. Mr. Sellers was born in New York City on November 13,
1919. His mother, Ethel Clark, was an artist and sculptress. His father, Matthew
B. Sellers II, was an early aviation pioneer and inventor who currently has
an exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Mr. Sellers was educated
at Tome School, attended Lehigh University and graduated from Franklin and Marshall
College. He majored in chemistry and minored!
in math. He was commissioned in the Navy before the start of WWII. He was chief
engineer on the destroyers the USS Blue and USS Morris. He participated in every
major naval battle in the Pacific Theater during WWII and attained the rank
of Full Commander. The following heroic deed (one of many) was detailed in my
father's memoirs: After the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Typhoon Cobra was heading
right for Task Force 38 of the Third Fleet. On December 18, 1944 Mr. Sellers
was ordered to begin deballasting his destroyer in order to take on fuel. Mr.
Sellers knew it was foolhardy to deballast in the face of an obviously bad storm,
so he went back to the engine room and turned down the pumps. Thanks to my Dad's
insightful thinking, when Typhoon Cobra struck, my Dad's destroyer pulled through
unscathed while seven others capsized with great loss of life. On June 1, 1946,
he married Gene Marion Herrick and they were married until she died on April
12, 1986. They had two daughters, Wendy!
and Tracy. Mr. Sellers joined the Coral Ridge Yacht Club in Fort Laud erdale
in June 1960. He was the only man who served as Commodore of the Coral Ridge
Yacht Club twice. He was also in the Optimist Club and the Navy League. He was
National President General of the Sons of the American Revolution and an active
member since 1970. He was also a member of numerous other genealogical organizations.
Mr. Sellers was active in the Republican Party and was Republican Committeeman
for his district for several years in the 1970's. During that time he also ran
for the Republican nomination for State Representative from Broward County.
Mr. Seller's most recent venture was breeding and raising cattle on his ancestral
land in Kentucky. The following are personal dedications by family members:
"I hope you can see me in my Navy ROTC uniform from up in Heaven, grandpa."
Gabby "Dad, I will miss your insightful wisdom, dauntless courage, insatiable
curiosity, eternal optimism and unconditional love. Throughout my life, you
have always been there for me with emo! tional support, advice and help. Even
though you know about my many stupid mistakes, foibles and idiotic decisions,
you never failed to make me feel loved, accepted and needed." Wendy Grandpa,
I will miss your mind and voice. Your great grandchildren will grow up knowing
all of your amazing accomplishments. You inspired me to be a better person.
I love you Grandpa...give Grandma my love." Shannon "Dad, I will truly
miss you. Your wisdom and knowledge, your advice and guidance along with your
remarkable sense of humor is a great loss to me. My love for you will never
diminish and will always be forever." Tracy "Grandpa, we will miss
your encouragement to strive for the best and never give up. Your wisdom and
insight will be forever impressed in our minds. You will be greatly missed."
Farah and Jason "Matt, you were a wonderful man. We will miss your carefree
spirit." The Witt Family To visit this Guest Book Online, go to www.herald.com/obituaries.
