AGUSTUS LANIER
Augustus Lanier born about 1850, paid taxes in Polk County in 1877. He was a farmer on Kissimmee Island in 1885, at "Tick" Island down near the Polk County border. He was a neighbor of Elijah Godwin & Thomas Sullivan.
Gus married Laura Lamb and they had 10 children. Rowan, born 1875, married Minnie Fortner, daughter of Dan & Martha Tyson Fortner. They lived neighbor to Bud and Sweet Lewis back in 1903, near Tigar Lake. Evan, born about 1876, married first, Linnie Fortner, Second, Mamie Carter, daughter of Edward & Ollie Kersey Carter.
Florance, born about 1878, married (sorry, no record). Ira married Georgia Rhoden, daughter of William Rhoden. Frank, born about 1881, was killed in Frostproof, Augustus, no record.
Clyde married Lou Rhoden, daughter of William & Mary Rhoden; Evie, no record.
George Lanier married first, Tollar Rhymes, daughter of Dave & Nettie Rhymes. She died during childbirth. Second, Mary Rhoden, another daughter of William Rhoden.
Agustus & Laura Lanier moved to theWalk-in-the-Water Lake in later years. They also owned a home in Frostproof.
When the 2 Lanier boys married daughters of William Rhoden, they all went to the Justice of the Peace together and had a double wedding. Afterwards, they all went out to Walk-in-the-Water Lake and announced it.
Laura Lanier was a good natured person and took part in all the fun. She liked to keep time on the dishpan with 2 sticks for all the children to square dance when George wasn't there to play his fiddle. So they had a "frolic"
