Sill may be? Aren’t there still functioning oil wells in Florida? I thought that I read somewhere that there are. I’ve been trying to find their location. . .

It seems far fetched, but there is proven oil off Florida’s coasts.

Thank you for the correction. It was indeed the Loffland Brothers.

Most excellent catch! I thought we had corrected the error. I wrote this a few years ago. It was indeed the Loffland Brothers, but I don’t know about Mr. Harve Mallory. Can you tell us more? Contact AOGHS with whatever additional information you can provide and we will update!
