Thomas’ lands were sold on Dec. 10, 1901 to Henry W. Williams. His occupation in the 1900 and 1910 Census was listed as farmer with residence in St. Andrews.
On Jan. 4, 1911, Williams sold his lands to W.F. Segler, who occupied this site until 1946. Segler and wife Leola Judson raised 13 children in the relatively large wood frame vernacular two-story farmhouse. They also raised and sold such crops as plums, grapes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, watermelons, cane, rice and corn.
Segler’s Market was in the Jitney Jungle Store on Harrison in 1926, and in 1928 in his own building on Harrison next to the Panama Theater. In 1945, it appears that farming may have been abandoned and the lands subdivided into residential lots.
