The man who couldn’t move for over 20 years
-
Peter Cluckley, born September 16, 1882, was only 20 years old when he was diagnosed with an unknown disease, where his bone joints started to fuse. At age 22, he was put in a sitting position, as he wasn’t able to move anymore.
-
The last time Cluckley was able to feed himself was August 3, 1912, after that his jaw fused together and wasn’t able to move for more than an inch. The doctors removed his front teeth, so he could be fed soft foods.
-
Before his disease, Cluckley was an army veteran who served in the Philippines after the Spanish- American war. Two months after his second Army enlistment, he started to get joint pains and stiffness. He got treated twice for it, but there was little they could do for him. Cluckley was send to an Retirement Home, where he lived the rest of his life.
-
On September 10, 1925, Cluckley died at the age of 43. His cause of death was hard to determine. Cluckley donated his remains to the Army Medical Museum, so they could study his disease. His skeleton is still on display in the National Museum of Health and Medicine.

Abraham Lincoln, as a 21 year old in 1830, was the wrestling champion of his county in Illinois. At this time, where working at a store in New Salem, Illinois, Lincoln had a famous bout with Jack Armstrong, also a county wrestling champion. Lincoln won decisively when, after losing his temper when Armstrong began fouling him, he slammed Armstrong to the ground and knocked him out.
He was not granted a wrestling belt in the 1800s, this picture below was made to show that he was indeed a wrestling champion.

This is why I explore in the woods. You never know what you may find. Who remembers the old Wekiva Falls pump tower? The tower would shoot water out of the top and kids & adults alike could play in the waterfalls. They had to stop using it as people were climbing to the top, jumping off, and breaking their legs and necks. We kept the memory alive and hiked quite a ways starting at Rock Springs Run. We originally set off looking for any signs of “old Florida” in the woods. We found a lot. But then we found ourselves hiking an old railroad grade through dense brush. We popped out at a clearing to discover her round castle-looking top peeking out from above the treetops, still standing in all her glory today. We had no idea what it was until someone on another group confirmed it is indeed the old Wekiva Falls pump tower. I was told there was one in the river (they took it down and replaced it elsewhere with a new one) and then this one was (as some described it) “always off to the side”. Two large iron wheels inside would have opened up some sort of water reservoir somewhere...at least back in her prime. I didn’t turn the wheels. No. I am a huge proponent of the “leave no trace” concept. That means you look with your eyes and leave nothing behind. And so therefore, we appreciated it, reflected upon the many families who might have found joy playing under her waterfalls, took some trash with us, and kept it moving.
Here is a little tidbit of information from the same person who identified this tower:
"When the State ordered the towers removed and the spring capped, it caused a blowout in the river. When divers investigated, they found a deep hole containing a treasure of fossils including mammoths, sloth, and horse. UF took all the fossils."
Relics of the past laying to waste out here, forgotten, until earth reclaims them as her own. What a find.
