The following is the caption under a newspaper photo in the LABOR DAY
SENTINEL STAR, P.14. The year is 1948.

"REEVES HART, 46, Central Florida farmer and huntsman is shown with his
family inspecting a better than eight foot long rattle snake with 16
rattlers which he killed on his farm on Lake Hart after his 11 year old
son, Elmer Lee, mistook it to be a large alligator crossing a road. The
rattler is one of the largest ever reported killed in this area. The skin
is on display in the sports department at Rutland's men's store. Hart is
the grandson of John and Mary Jane Hart who discovered Lake Hart and for
whom it is named, lives on the farm that has been in the family for more
than 50 years. Left to right: Betty Jewel, 10, Hart, Elmer Lee, 11 and
Henry Morgan Hart age 6."
