During the War Between the States he was captured at Missionary Ridge in Chicamauga, made prisoner and confined on Johnson's Island. Another source says it was the Battle of Gettysburg.John was known as "two gun man" who would pull his gun when his opponent's eyes blinked. Was very much a "doer" in civic affairs and government.The Barber-Mizell Feud is said to have finally ended when William Patterson Barber, a descendant of Isaac Barber married Mary Ida Bass, a descendant of John Randolph Mizell's thru his son Mann Mizell whose mother was Priscilla Ivy.
Mann was adopted by Priscilla's husband, Croft Bass. Later Mann changed his name to Walter Bass.John started as a planter, he cultivated oranges on a large scale; went on to be prominent in politics and was elected a member of the first Legislature after the war about the time he was married in Tallahassee. He was then elected county judge and served in that capacity for 6 years combining both civil and criminal jurisdiction. He was elected a member of the board of county commissioners for 1876 and in 1877 was appointed deputy collector of Internal Revenue.

LINE OF DESCENT
Judge John R. Mizell of Winter Park drove the first spike into the railroad construction for the Orlando and Winter Park Train. The railroad line soon became known as the "Dinky Line" because it jumped the tracks frequently. The train's first route was only 10 miles, but at the time, the trip took an hour.

Edmund C. Weeks, who was today nominated as marshall for the Northern Districkt of Florida, is present post-master of Tallahassee. He is a native of Massachusetts and settled in Florida after the war and has lived there ever since. He was at one time Lieutenat Governor of the State. As marshall he will succeed John R. Mizell, who resigned the office almost immediately after his confirmation by the Semate. It is said at the White House that Mizell's resignation was entirely voluntary and that he waited until after he was confirmed because he did not wish to retire under the fire of hois enemies.

Washington, April 2-- The nom,ination of John R. Mizell to be U. S. Marsghall for the Northern district of Florida , has been confirmed by the Senate in secret session. Senator Call moved to make the proceedings of the Senate on the Florida Judicial nomination public but Mr. Edmands objected, and the matter went over to the next executive session
Priscilla Ivey
Priscilla Ivey was a distant cousin to John Randolph Mizell, father of her son, Mann Mizell. Mann was adopted by her husband, Croft Bass.....Mann Mizell Bass. Mann later had his name changed legally to Walter Bass. From all records, it appears that John R. Mizell and Priscilla had a child out of wedlock. John enlisted in April, 1862 and Mann was born in Sep-tember of the same year. John appears to have never come back to Priscilla, leaving her as an unwed mother. Priscilla was fortunate enough to meet a good man in William Crawford "Croft" Harris Mann who married her and gave his name to her son.

Obituary:
Kissimmee Valley Gazette, Friday, July 29, 1904
Another old resident of this community has gone to his reward and while he had not passed the allotted time of man, the summons was sudden and he was cut down almost unexpectedly.
Crawford Bass, was born in Sumter county, Georgia, about sixty-seven years ago, and when a young man came with his father's family to Florida and for the past thirty-five years resided in what is now Osceola county.
He served as a soldier in the Indian war of '56 and at the breaking out of hostilities between the states enlisted in the Confederate service with he served faithfully and well until incapacitated by an attack of typhoid pneumonia which lasting several months he was sent home in charge of his brother George to recuperate; but the war ended before he was able to bear arms again. His health regained, he set about to make a home and repair his fortune.
Always of a strong and robust consitution he was given to an active life and enjoyed excellent health until five years ago when he received a fall which impaired the action of his heart and ultimately caused his death last Tuesday.
That morning he arose in usual health and went about his usual duties until about ten o'clock when he was assisting in some farm work some distance from the house when he was taken with an attack of the heart. He called his son who was near who drove his wagon to where he was to carry him to the house. Unassisted he got in the wagon and out again at the yard gate. There a tremor seized him and he caught hold of the pickets to steady himself. His son noticed his agitation and ran to his assistance and caught him around the waist. As the son did so the father said, "I am gone," gave a convulsive shudder, fell in his son's arms who carried him into the house where he quickly passed away.
Word was sent to his relatives in town and arrangements made for his interment which occurred Wednesday morning at ten a'clock at Rosehill cemetery.
Mr. Bass was twice married, and was the father of five sons, Messrs. Walter Bass, Sr., Rull Bass, Thomas A. Bass, Time Bass and Bass all of who with his last wife and numerous other relatives survive him.

Barber Plantation
The Barber/Mizell Feud
Moses Barber came from Georgia in 1833 and first settled just north of McClenney Fla. Moses was often referred to as "the Indian fighter who chased the Seminoles south of the Georgia Bend." He once had so many dogs, that it took a whole steer per day to feed them. Moses became a cattleman, and by 1860 was worth 21,400 in land, and 116,180 dollars in other property, in addition to owning 100 slaves. By today's standards, he was a wealthy man.Dur ing the Battle of Olustee, the Yankees confiscated almost all of his property, including most of his cattle herds for food, then freed all of his slaves. To make matters worse, he had lost his son Isaac in the civil war. Moses packed up what he had left, and moved to the Kissimmee basin. He acquired some large tracts of land and soon had some large cattle herds.
The Barbers were very active in the early citrus and cattle industry in Central Florida. During reconstruction, the Mizell family moved in, and through "politics" became the most powerful men in local government, in Orange County, during, and after, Reconstruction. The Barbers did not like the Federal Government, and resented the Mizell's power over cattlemen. On the other hand, the Mizells saw the Barbers as powerful in their cattle and land holdings.The local officials from the Reconstruction government [and of Mizell influence] harassed the Barbers, namely Jack. Barbers were often being brought to court on fabricated charges, often for fines for failing to pay cattle taxes. The cattle tax was unfair, very high, and the Barbers had a lot of cattle. But when they failed to fully pay their tax, they were fined outrageous amounts. Often, cowmen would have to sell their herds just to pay off these fines to the local officials. In almost all cases, a Mizell was behind the taxation and fines. At one time Jack Barber was imprisoned for [what appears to be a failure to pay a fine] he was in prison at Chattahoochee.The two families exchanged threats, most came from the Barbers, who threatened to shoot any Mizell that was found on their range. The sheriff was a Mizell, and the county judge was a Mizell.
The actual feud began when a prize heifer, named Tater Peelin' , belonging to DEED BARBER, was found with an altered brand among Morgan Mizell's herd. DEED BARBER, who was only 14 yrs. old, tried to reclaim his prize heifer, but he was caught in the process and Sheriff Mizell forced him to kill and butcher the animal on the spot. Then Sheriff Mizell charged him with cattle rustling. On February 21, 1870, at Bull Creek, near Kenansville, not far from the Barber Ranch, Sheriff David Mizell was shot, he died the next morning at sunrise. NEEDHAM YATES, AND HIS TWO SONS, along with MOSES BARBER Jr., were blamed for the murder, which was said to be in revenge for what had happened to DEED BARBER. All the men, except Moses Barber were rounded up. While the three men were being escorted to the jail in Orange County, they were shot [evidently by their captors]. To replace the dead Sheriff in office, David Stewart was made Sheriff, he was a close associate of the Mizell clan. Some accounts blame him for shooting the three Yates men. Then on May 5, 1870, the State issued an indictment for murder against MOSES BARBER. The following month, Judge Mizell organized a posse to hunt down the Barber men, this was another act of revenge by the Mizells. They found Isaac Barber, tied him up to a tree and shot him dead. 20 shot guns were emptied into Isaac's body, so that no single shooter could be blamed for the crime. A witness to the murder managed to escape and went to the Barber homestead to tell Isaac's wife, Harriett, that her husband had been killed. The posse then confiscated Barber cattle. Mose, Jack, and Little Mose escaped the posse by riding through Shingle Creek Ford, so as to leave no hoof prints, [this is now called Boggy Creek, south of the Orlando International Airport] But, later Little Moses was captured. The posse tied him up, put him in a large croaker sack, weighted with plowshares, then threw him into Lake Conway. He surfaced several times, almost escaped, but eventually they shot him and he went to the bottom of the lake. ANOTHER STORY, SAYS HE WAS THROWN INTO A POND OFF SOUTH FERN CREEK IN ORLANDO.Moses and Jack Barber left the area, they said they were going to Texas, but some say that they only made it as far as West Florida. We know that Andrew [JACK] Barber came back, because he died in Florida in 1916.
The feud lasted for 20 years, some say longer, a few say it is still going on.OTHE R NOTES: Moses Barber ran cattle in Orange, Osceola, Brevard, and Palm Beach Counties. His center of operations seems to have been Kissimmee. He often drove cattle north through Volusia County, now called the town of Barberville.Some other Barbers, Carl Barber, oldest son of Joe Barber, was born in Conway in 1887, he was the first to ship live beeves by rail in the 1920s. He was instrumental in the cattle tick eradication program. In 1956, he organized the mid-Florida livestock auction market in Orlando. Many barber men belonged to the Masonic lodge and to the Oddfellows. Barbers were active in both the citrus and cattle industries. Andrew Jackson Barber [born in 1839] served in the federal army during the Seminole war, he was one of the few men stationed at Fort Christmas. In 1855 he returned to central Florida and settled on lake Conway, at the Daetwyler place. His 1st wife was violet roberson 1859, she died, he married 2nd wife, Anna Hull, in 1894, she was the daughter of William Hull.
Andrew Jackson Barber with his wife Annie Hull Jackson. His role in the Barber/Mizell Feud ended when he was tried for cattle larceny and sentenced to the state penitentiary. He later became a prominent cattleman and citrus grove owner.

The Great Depression and Canning for Victory
The Great Depression of the 1920s hit everyone, but some of us in South Florida were fortunate. My husband, a native born Pompano man, and I were living on Pompano Beach at that time. We had plenty of fish, Florida lobster, oysters, clams, and sea turtle steaks for meat and hearts of palm and fresh vegetables of all kinds from the farms.
We moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1935. In 1938, I joined the Fort Lauderdale Home Demonstration Club. A short time later, a canning kitchen was opened on South Andrews Avenue. It was sponsored by the Broward County Commission and the Home Demonstration Agent for the purpose of teaching the housewives how to can. The ladies got vegetables from the fields after the farmers were through harvesting. We started a very small production using glass jars.
Then came World War II. Food got really scarce and had to be rationed. Canning got into high gear. The County built a larger kitchen next to the old one so the housewives could can food to supplement their food stamps which were allotted to each family.
I was one of the supervisors who taught the ladies how to can. We got so busy that we were running three shifts a day, starting at 8 am and finishing at 1 am the next morning. This was really a lively time with some excitement thrown in when we would have air raid practice in town. Sometimes on the night shift, we would have all the pressure cookers going, when along would come an air raid alert and we would have to douse all the lights and turn out all of the fires until the “All Clear” came. Then we would start all over again.
We were canning as much as 1500 cans a day. Everything was canned, from soup to nuts . . . literally! We canned tomatoes and tomato juice, grapefruit and grapefruit juice, green beans, shell beans, lima beans, sauerkraut, pickles, coconut, pears and pineapples. Some of the women went to the fields and got their own vegetables and many of the farmers brought their produce into the cannery for those who did not have transportation to the fields. The latter were canned on shares, the farmer got half and the canner got half. Meat was very scarce, but we could get marrow bones from the meat markets which made delicious stock for the various soups we canned. The ladies sealed many things in cans to send to their husbands and sons overseas, such as candy, nuts, cookies, ink, lighter fluid and flints. I even sent some fried clams to a friend in the Pacific War Zone.
The canning center got so popular that people continued using its facilities for a couple of years after the World War II was over.
