During the Battle of Olustee, Susan Livingston Hartridge, together with friends and some of their slaves, went out to the battlefield and bandaged many of the wounded soldiers, Northern and Southern.

Mrs. Hartridge was President of the Confederate Home Association and when Martha Reid Chapter, No. 19, United Daughters of the Confederacy was organized in 1892, she was a charter member and became its first president. Her name is No. 1 on the original Florida UDC Roll.
