Miami, Fla., March 26, 1923
Miami, Fla.
Dear Friends-
We are going to start home next week. We are having nice weather although it is rather warm. We are all anxious to get home.
Ellis
J.C. & L. Heflin
Fairfax, Okla.
Mrs. Fred Glass
Alexis, Illinois
Interesting that the current Indiana University director is also named Fred Glass. Alexis, IL is small enough (only 800 people in 2000) to be easily researched, but since it straddles two counties and four townships, research is hard to come by without a physical address. And mores, who are J.C. and L. Heflin in Fairfax, Oklahoma? The Fairfax High School Alumni page lists a James Heflin, Class of '28, but the connection across three states and two surnames is strange.

The William Jennings Bryan residence is still standing, registered with Miami's historic preservation department. The estate was built in 1913, and Mr. Bryan occupied it until he died shortly after the Scopes Trial. Just before that trial he was giving speeches daily about the sound decision to own property in Florida, and sermons in the local Presbyterian Church.
