1. Haziel Laverne Roberts Marker

Inscription. Like many descendants of the earliest settlers, Haziel learned to scull, to fish, to farm, to build household furniture and boats. Besides developing skills for island living, he cultivated his intellect and led others to the threshold of their own minds. From 1945 to 1977, Mr. Albury's administrative skills proved outstanding as principal of the island's school. His scholarly interests resulted in a history "Man-O-War: My Island Home." In his book, Haziel states that his ancestor Benjamin Archer Was an American Loyalist who came to the Bahamas via New England and the Carolinas. Haziel has also served his settlement as airline agent, realtor, telegraph manager, preacher, and justice of the peace. Mr. Albury's contributions earned him the Queen's Certificate and Badge of honour.
