William Feagle and Elizabeth Legrone came to FL ABOUT 1851 with other families (SHEALY, WITT, SNELGROVE, HALTIWANGER, LEGRONE, KOON, BEDENBAUGH and more), many of whom were involved in the organization of the first LUTHERAN CHURCH in Florida. Many of these families are buried in the CEMETERY beside the Bethlehem Lutheran Church near Mason City, FL in Columbia County. The original building stands but was bricked in for preservation. It was officially organized in 1859. I have some information on the above families that was printed in the 100th anniversary publication for the church. An original was found in my grandmothers papers after her death.
