I tried squidoo and have yet to have a visitor to the web site. Because I've owned the house since 1991, I have always been fascinated by its history. Dr. Robert W. Hargis was the president of the Escambia County, Florida, Board of Health. He posted the quarantine rules for yellow fever in the April 20, 1889 issue of "The Pensacola Daily News." His father, Dr. Robert B.S. Hargis, was also active in battling the yellow fever epidemics that plagued the Gulf Coast. Click on the title to see my squidoo blog.
In 1860 census, the young Robert W. was living at home with his parents on Romana Street on the site where the Pensacola News Journal stands today.
In the 1870 census, Robert W. is listed twice, once on page 30 with his father and $200 in real estate and then on p. 65 as head of household with 10 seamen plus servants and 2 laborers - and $3500 in real estate. Question is: Could he have built my house in 1870 and used it as a hospital? He owned or ran several during his lifetime.

In the 1880 census, the Hargis family is living with Merced's Bonifay brothers, as they did for many years on West Gregory St., although the location in the census margin says West Garden Street.

What's interesting is that Royal Putnam is the next person on the census page, and he lived at Spring and Chase and definitely not West Garden as indicated in the margin.
In fact, if you look at the margins on all 32 pages of this district, there are only a few streets actually named: North Palafox, North Baylen, North Spring and then West Romana, West Garden, West Chase and then many pages labeled Wright Street. It appears this district runs down what is now considered South Palafox (below Cervantes down to the wharf) and west almost to A Street, with Coyle being mentioned as the westernmost street. Around 1880, this section was known as West Hill, and includes the Belmont DeVilliers neighborhood.
To help relocate the addresses of these families in this District 45, I've incorporated where possible the addresses and information found in the 1885 Pensacola business directory. Some people have moved and some have died in the intervening five years. One the first page of the census it describes this section as embracing the 4th ward, 2nd election precinct of the city. The symbol * in the 1885 directory is used to indicate people of color. I left this to show the great mix of races in this part of the city as well as to help any family researchers who come across this post. My system improved as I moved through the pages. I will clean this up if this is deemed an important contribution by anyone. I find that the more ways I come at a problem, the more I'm inclined to find the solution. Unfortunately, I have not proven beyond a doubt that R.W. Hargis built the house in 1890, only that he lived there. Based on the research below, my best guess is that if the house was already built when he moved in, more than likely it was occupied by Peter and Gila Gonzalez, who both passed away in 1881. The property was sold by their son M.F. Gonzalez to R.W.'s brother-in-law, George Bonifay, who then sold it for $1 to his sister. Here is a summary of key deeds:
March 11, 1890. To George Bonifay from W.E. Plummer. Block 3 Belmont. 8 157
Ann’s note: 1893 Directory: William Plummer. machinist home 215 N Reus. A Victorian house remains on that property. 1885 directory: Plummer William * machinist h Reus n Gregory. That means George Bonifay bought a house on this lot in 1890, not just a lot.
March 19, 1890. To George Bonifay from M.F. Gonzalez 8 194 Block 3 Belmont. $1,000.
1890. Deed to Hugh B. Hatton from George Bonifay. 8 489 on Gregory Street.
Ann’s note: 1893 Directory: Hatton Hugh B . clothing, custom tailor, gents' furnishings, hats, shoes, etc home 402 W Gregory 41-43 S Palafox
Hatton P Frank. Clerk. Home 226 N Reus corner Wright (this lot does not touch 402 West Gregory).
Another note: Jotted from March 17, 1889 newspaper item: Hugh Hatton, father of Hugh B. Hatton of this city, died at Warrington. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1817, a resident 40 years, 25 years as a merchant. Eldest son John. P.F. Hatton also a son. M.F. O’Brien.
July 2, 1890. Book 8 p. 521. THIS IS DEFINITELY 412 WEST GREGORY. To Merced B. Hargis from George Bonifay. $1 plus natural love and affection.

Daily News, Mon., Mar 18, 1901
James G. Gonzalez is Dead
Death has claimed another of Pensacola's aged citizens. James G. Gonzalez, a native of this city, a gallant Confederate soldier, has been called to his final reward. The funeral will take place from St. Joseph's church at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. The cortege will leave the residence of Mrs. A. S. Oliver, 15 West Garden street at 4 o'clock. In his younger days, Mr. Gonzalez was employed as a ship carpenter at the Pensacola navy yard and he had held many places of honor and trust in this city. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, having been shot through the lung in the service of his country, his health having been broken by the injury, leaving him but a wreck of his former giant strength. He leaves many loving relatives to mourn his demise and every man who knew him was his friend. He had passed the three score mark in life's journey and it was always a rare treat to hear him talk of the Pensacola of long ago.

Prominent Citizen Has Passed to Great Beyond. M. F. Gonzalez Dies at Home After a Lingering Illness. Had Been In Ill Health For A Year Or More, But Taken Seriously Ill About A Week Ago - Funeral Will Occur To-Morrow Morning.
M. F. Gonzalez, one of the oldest most popular and successful business men of the city, died yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock at the family home, No. 226 North De Villier street. He had been in ill health about a year or since he suffered an attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered, but his condition did not become serious until about a week since. The deceased had many friends in Pensacola. While his charities were unknown to the public in general he assisted in a quiet and assuming manner many of the poor families of the city. He always had a kind word for the needy and no worthy person ever asked for assistance from him, but they met with a ready response. He was a devout Christian, and always attended services at St. Michael's church. Mr. Gonzalez was born in Pensacola and spent most of his life of 69 years in this city. He became prominent in business circles many years ago, and throughout his life held the confidence and esteem of the entire public. He was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of the city, and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death. His sons are Chapman, William R., Charlie F. and Dixon B. Gonzalez, and daughters Mrs. Wm. D. Greenwood of Mobile; Mrs. Harry Sheppard and Mrs. W. D. Howe, of this city. He also leaves a number of brothers and sisters, as follows: Blake J., Celestino H., Lambert X., Samuel J., and O. A. Gonzalez, Mrs. Mary Louise Kendrick, of Baldwin county, Ala.; Mrs. Eulalie Bobe, Mrs. Emil Kuester, of this city, and Mrs. Merced D. Greenwood, of Bohemia.
The remains of the deceased will be placed at rest to-morrow morning, the funeral cortege leaving the family home at 9 o'clock and proceeding to St. Michael's church, where requiem mass will be said. The remains will be placed at rest in the family plot in St. Michael's cemetery. The following personal friends of the deceased will act as pall bearers and are requested to meet at the family home at 8:30 a.m.; W. K. Hyer, Jr., Wm. H. Knowles, F. C. Brent, W. A. Blount, Geo. W. Wright & Jas. McVoy, the latter of Cantonment.
#2 Pensacola Journal, Sat., Mar 9, 1907
Funeral of M. F. Gonzalez. Many Were Present to Pay Their Last Sad Tribute of Respect to Deceased.
The remains of M. F. Gonzalez, one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of Pensacola, were placed at rest yesterday morning in the family burying ground in St. Michael's cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at St. Michael's church, where requiem mass, was said. The spacious church was filled with the hundreds of friends of the deceased , who listened to the eulogy upon the life of the deceased delivered by Rev. Father Fullerton. When the funeral cortege moved to the cemetery many followed the remains to the last resting place, and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. Many in Pensacola regret the death of Mr. Gonzalez, who was an exemplary citizen and a man who during his entire life lived a true Christian life.

In 1860 census, the young Robert W. was living at home with his parents on Romana Street on the site where the Pensacola News Journal stands today.
In the 1870 census, Robert W. is listed twice, once on page 30 with his father and $200 in real estate and then on p. 65 as head of household with 10 seamen plus servants and 2 laborers - and $3500 in real estate. Question is: Could he have built my house in 1870 and used it as a hospital? He owned or ran several during his lifetime.

In the 1880 census, the Hargis family is living with Merced's Bonifay brothers, as they did for many years on West Gregory St., although the location in the census margin says West Garden Street.

What's interesting is that Royal Putnam is the next person on the census page, and he lived at Spring and Chase and definitely not West Garden as indicated in the margin.
In fact, if you look at the margins on all 32 pages of this district, there are only a few streets actually named: North Palafox, North Baylen, North Spring and then West Romana, West Garden, West Chase and then many pages labeled Wright Street. It appears this district runs down what is now considered South Palafox (below Cervantes down to the wharf) and west almost to A Street, with Coyle being mentioned as the westernmost street. Around 1880, this section was known as West Hill, and includes the Belmont DeVilliers neighborhood.
To help relocate the addresses of these families in this District 45, I've incorporated where possible the addresses and information found in the 1885 Pensacola business directory. Some people have moved and some have died in the intervening five years. One the first page of the census it describes this section as embracing the 4th ward, 2nd election precinct of the city. The symbol * in the 1885 directory is used to indicate people of color. I left this to show the great mix of races in this part of the city as well as to help any family researchers who come across this post. My system improved as I moved through the pages. I will clean this up if this is deemed an important contribution by anyone. I find that the more ways I come at a problem, the more I'm inclined to find the solution. Unfortunately, I have not proven beyond a doubt that R.W. Hargis built the house in 1890, only that he lived there. Based on the research below, my best guess is that if the house was already built when he moved in, more than likely it was occupied by Peter and Gila Gonzalez, who both passed away in 1881. The property was sold by their son M.F. Gonzalez to R.W.'s brother-in-law, George Bonifay, who then sold it for $1 to his sister. Here is a summary of key deeds:
March 11, 1890. To George Bonifay from W.E. Plummer. Block 3 Belmont. 8 157
Ann’s note: 1893 Directory: William Plummer. machinist home 215 N Reus. A Victorian house remains on that property. 1885 directory: Plummer William * machinist h Reus n Gregory. That means George Bonifay bought a house on this lot in 1890, not just a lot.
March 19, 1890. To George Bonifay from M.F. Gonzalez 8 194 Block 3 Belmont. $1,000.
1890. Deed to Hugh B. Hatton from George Bonifay. 8 489 on Gregory Street.
Ann’s note: 1893 Directory: Hatton Hugh B . clothing, custom tailor, gents' furnishings, hats, shoes, etc home 402 W Gregory 41-43 S Palafox
Hatton P Frank. Clerk. Home 226 N Reus corner Wright (this lot does not touch 402 West Gregory).
Another note: Jotted from March 17, 1889 newspaper item: Hugh Hatton, father of Hugh B. Hatton of this city, died at Warrington. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1817, a resident 40 years, 25 years as a merchant. Eldest son John. P.F. Hatton also a son. M.F. O’Brien.
July 2, 1890. Book 8 p. 521. THIS IS DEFINITELY 412 WEST GREGORY. To Merced B. Hargis from George Bonifay. $1 plus natural love and affection.

Daily News, Mon., Mar 18, 1901
James G. Gonzalez is Dead
Death has claimed another of Pensacola's aged citizens. James G. Gonzalez, a native of this city, a gallant Confederate soldier, has been called to his final reward. The funeral will take place from St. Joseph's church at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. The cortege will leave the residence of Mrs. A. S. Oliver, 15 West Garden street at 4 o'clock. In his younger days, Mr. Gonzalez was employed as a ship carpenter at the Pensacola navy yard and he had held many places of honor and trust in this city. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, having been shot through the lung in the service of his country, his health having been broken by the injury, leaving him but a wreck of his former giant strength. He leaves many loving relatives to mourn his demise and every man who knew him was his friend. He had passed the three score mark in life's journey and it was always a rare treat to hear him talk of the Pensacola of long ago.

Prominent Citizen Has Passed to Great Beyond. M. F. Gonzalez Dies at Home After a Lingering Illness. Had Been In Ill Health For A Year Or More, But Taken Seriously Ill About A Week Ago - Funeral Will Occur To-Morrow Morning.
M. F. Gonzalez, one of the oldest most popular and successful business men of the city, died yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock at the family home, No. 226 North De Villier street. He had been in ill health about a year or since he suffered an attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered, but his condition did not become serious until about a week since. The deceased had many friends in Pensacola. While his charities were unknown to the public in general he assisted in a quiet and assuming manner many of the poor families of the city. He always had a kind word for the needy and no worthy person ever asked for assistance from him, but they met with a ready response. He was a devout Christian, and always attended services at St. Michael's church. Mr. Gonzalez was born in Pensacola and spent most of his life of 69 years in this city. He became prominent in business circles many years ago, and throughout his life held the confidence and esteem of the entire public. He was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of the city, and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death. His sons are Chapman, William R., Charlie F. and Dixon B. Gonzalez, and daughters Mrs. Wm. D. Greenwood of Mobile; Mrs. Harry Sheppard and Mrs. W. D. Howe, of this city. He also leaves a number of brothers and sisters, as follows: Blake J., Celestino H., Lambert X., Samuel J., and O. A. Gonzalez, Mrs. Mary Louise Kendrick, of Baldwin county, Ala.; Mrs. Eulalie Bobe, Mrs. Emil Kuester, of this city, and Mrs. Merced D. Greenwood, of Bohemia.
The remains of the deceased will be placed at rest to-morrow morning, the funeral cortege leaving the family home at 9 o'clock and proceeding to St. Michael's church, where requiem mass will be said. The remains will be placed at rest in the family plot in St. Michael's cemetery. The following personal friends of the deceased will act as pall bearers and are requested to meet at the family home at 8:30 a.m.; W. K. Hyer, Jr., Wm. H. Knowles, F. C. Brent, W. A. Blount, Geo. W. Wright & Jas. McVoy, the latter of Cantonment.
#2 Pensacola Journal, Sat., Mar 9, 1907
Funeral of M. F. Gonzalez. Many Were Present to Pay Their Last Sad Tribute of Respect to Deceased.
The remains of M. F. Gonzalez, one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of Pensacola, were placed at rest yesterday morning in the family burying ground in St. Michael's cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at St. Michael's church, where requiem mass, was said. The spacious church was filled with the hundreds of friends of the deceased , who listened to the eulogy upon the life of the deceased delivered by Rev. Father Fullerton. When the funeral cortege moved to the cemetery many followed the remains to the last resting place, and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. Many in Pensacola regret the death of Mr. Gonzalez, who was an exemplary citizen and a man who during his entire life lived a true Christian life.
