Layton, Florida, in 1912 was a small settlement in the Florida Keys, part of Monroe County, where life was shaped by the water. Fishing, sponging, and boat work supplied most local livelihoods, and the islands' isolation meant people relied on steamers and sailing craft for supplies and mail. The year was a turning point for the whole chain of islands: Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad reached Key West in January 1912, making rail travel from the mainland to the end of the Keys possible for the first time. Residents of places like Layton would have measured their world by that new line and by the boats that still carried most freight. Storms were a constant concern, and the islands' fortunes rose and fell with weather, markets, and the reach of the railroad.
