THOMAS HENRY LANDER, born at Kings Point, Chattanooga, Tennessee, March 22, 1886. He finished his grammar school course at Bradenton, Florida. He was two years at Maryville College, Tennessee. Took a course in textile engineering at Starkville, Mississippi, and was in the machine shops at Lowell, Massachusetts. He found himself in a drug store at Easley, South Carolina. He graduated in pharmacy at Atlanta, Georgia, and after a short apprenticeship he bought and conducted a good drug store at Avon Park, Florida. He made a big success with it, and just when we thought he was well settled for life he sold out - "lock, stock and barrel." He tried several other things for awhile and is now a traveling salesman for the Tampa Drug Company. He is really gifted in that line and is making a big success. He fell in love with Miss MAMIE STUBBS, of Adrian, Georgia, at first sight. He had just secured his first job after graduating in pharmacy at Dexter, Georgia. Miss STUBBS was a teacher there. He saw her at church the first evening he was out. He inquired who she was and immediately began a vigorous courtship, and they were married by an ordinary in Dublin, Georgia, Sunday, May 14, 1911. They have two children: DAVID, born at Bradenton, Florida, July 15, 1914, and ELLA MAUDE, born at Avon Park, Florida, July 18, 1916, both bright, intelligent children. HENRY now has a beautiful home in Lakeland, Florida, and looks out upon life with an optimistic view. He is a Presbyterian, a little lukewarm, I'm afraid, but an enthusiastic Shriner and a jolly Elk. His wife shines brilliantly among the Eastern Stars. [000:I/p62] Written by his father, Rev. David Luther LANDER in "History of the Lander Family of Virginia and Kentucky", published 1926.
