DEATH AND FUNERAL OF ELDER SHEF-FIELD AT VERO
(This is headlines of story that appeared in the Ft Pierce paper on 4/2/1915, the story follows)
Elder Daniel Sheffield, one of the oldest and most widely known Primitive Baptist minis-ters in Florida, died last Friday night at his home south of Vero. He was 75 years of age and his death was due to paralysis.
Elder Sheffield had been in the ministry continuously for fifty years. He had been pastor of the Vero Primitive Baptist church since its organization six years ago and had made his home here for the past five years. He occupied the pulpit regularly until the Sunday before his death. During his long service in the ministry Elder Sheffield had traveled all over Florida as well as Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina and he was one of the most widely known ministers of his denomination in the entire south. He was the last surviving Confederate veteran living in this community
He is survived by his wife and six children by his first marriage. They are Mrs. C.W. Fletcher and Mrs. J. E. W. McCullers of Quay; T. H. Sheffield of Ft. Lauder- dale; Lee L. Sheffield
Note: Find a Grave -Most Census records have her as Debbie. Her last name of Miller was changed from the original Mueller. She was the wife of Daniel B. Sheffield buried next to her. His old gravestone was broken and has been removed and replaced with a newer one from the V.A. Her gravestone has been broken in half and the top half reburied so only the name shows now. It was broken several years ago but was still readable in 1995.

After returning from the Civil War, he married Sarah
Elizabeth Ballentine on May 11, 1865. She was born
August 30, 1846, a daughter of John James and Mary E.
(Huxford) Ballentine. She was also a granddaughter of
John J. and Rulaney Ballentine. John and Sarah Fultz
had eight children, all born in South Carolina.
1) Julia Olivia married James Harvey Winter,
2) Viola Gertrude married Edward Lee Winter,
3) Mary Edith died as an infant,
4) George Andrew,
5) Judson Huxford married Hattie Estes,
6) Sarah Ellen died as an infant,
7) Hattie Eulalie married, first, Mr. Allen, and
second Mr. Chew
8) John Enos, III married Ruby Cooper.
John Enos Fultz, Jr. packed up his family in 1885 and left Moncks Corner. For the next six years, they lived in Cocoa-Rockledge, Florida, a newly settled community on the Indian River. A family story says that he left fleeing carpetbaggers after the Civil War. Misfortune struck soon after their arrival. On June 16, 1888, Sarah died and is buried in a cemetery in Cocoa-Rockledge. Not long after, their home burned. John Enos took
his children and sailed down the Indian River and back up the north fork of the St. Lucie River to the headwaters of the river and settled on land that one of his daughters called “Spruce Bluff” because of all the spruce pines growing there. In 1889 he established Spruce Bluff where he built his home. He homesteaded one hundred sixty acres on Winter Creek. He rowed and sailed the St. Lucie River down to Stuart to deliver the mail for 10.00 a month. He raised Pineapples and oranges in St. Lucie County. The only thing that remains there is a small cemetery and a beautiful monument dedicated on January 5, 1986 by the Historical Society marking it as an “Early Pioneer Settlement, 1891”.
He married Annie Maria Winter on June 27, 1892, in Spruce Bluff where they lived until 1905. Annie Maria was born October 31, 1868, the daughter of David McCants and Mary Fultz
(Harvey ) Winter. They had six children born in Spruce Bluff:
1) Pearl Winter married Roscoe J. Chapman,
2) Charles E.,
3) Annie Ethel married Howard Taylor,
4) Herbert,
5) Thomas Oscar married Ola Jane Brinson
6) James Clarence married Alice Margaret Gregory Cook.
In 1889 he established Spruce Bluff where he built his home. He homesteaded one hundred sixty acres on Winter Creek. He rowed and sailed the St. Lucie River down to Stuart to deliver the mail for 10.00 a month. He established Spruce Bluff in Sept. 1891. He raised Pineapples in St. Lucie County. In August 1905 John again moved his family, this time to Ft. Pierce. He was appointed by the Honorable N. B. Broward, Governor of Florida, to serve as the first Circuit Court Clerk of the newly formed St. Lucie County, which position he held until 1919. In 1918 John Enos moved his family again, this time to Vero, which later became Vero Beach. Mr. Fultz owned the one hundred sixty acres until his death. John Enos Fultz, Jr. suffered a stroke and died December 7, 1921, in Vero Beach and is buried in the Oslo Cemetery. Annie Maria died there on April 23, 1938, and is also buried there. John Enos Fultz was a religious man. As a politician, he would be classified as a conservative. He was admired by his family and his name still survives in our family to this day. Editor’s Note: Some information contained in this article was gleaned from a biography of John Enos Fultz written by Ethel Fultz Taylor, Thomas Oscar Fultz, and Herbert Fultz. This paper was presented to the Fort Pierce Historical Society at a dinner meeting on September 16, 1969. The original is on file at the Fort Pierce Historical Society.

Company D 18 Mississippi Infantry Regiment
The Hammer Rifles were raised in Yazoo County Mississippi, and he enlisted in May 1861. These companies were enlisted for one year in the service of the Confederate States and organized in the Eighteenth Regiment, under the direction of Gen. J. L. Alcorn, on June 7, 1861. They 1started to Virginia on June 10, arrived at Camp Walker near Manassas Junction on the 18th, and were brigaded with the Seventeenth Mississippi and Fifth South Carolina under Gem D. R. Jones, which brigade was posted on the extreme right of the army at Bull Run. They were near McLean’s Ford when the first attack was made by the Federal Army on July 18. When the unit was first organized the Eighteenth had 1,100 effective men. At the first battle of Manassas, there were 800 in the ranks. On the first of March, 1865, there were 100 men and five officers present for duty.
The regiment had then been engaged in sixteen pitched battles and innumerable skirmishes. In the spring of 1864, when the two years enlistment expired, the regiment and the whole brigade unanimously re-enlisted for "forty years or the war." Its patriotic devotion was again shown early in 1865 by submitting to consolidation and the loss of its old title and number. The entire brigade was commanded at the last by Col. William H. Fitzgerald, who surrendered 20 officers and 231 men. Laine suffer from Pneumonia and Typhoid and was wounded on the picket line.
