Name	Lowe, Leff
Biographical Summary	On May 14, 1950 Vivian (Daniels) Davis & Leff Lowe put up a Revival Tent in Downtown Punta Gorda in the middle of the block on Olympia where Sprint & Time Management Ins. Are now. Vivian (Daniels) Davis, Wife of Morris Davis preached and Leff and Wife, Beulah (Driggers) Lowe were the first members. However the revival got too loud for the City residents. So, in 1951 property was purchased near the Railroad tracks off Cooper Street in Punta Gorda. Then, after Leff took the lead in speaking with the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners, paving the way for the permitting and building of the structure on that property, a Church was constructed and stands there today. This year 2016, the Church is 65 years old. Vivian (Daniels) Davis was born in Sarasota, Florida. Vivian & Husband, Morris Davis had 2 children: Bubba; Marisa. They also had two adult children from Morris' first marriage: Larry and Robert. Vivian was related to Leff, as her Father was the Brother to Leff's Grandmother on his Father's side. She was close to the family and especially Leff's Daughter, Ada Mae. Leff was a hard worker and rode as a Range Rider with Knox O'Neal, Clyde Edders and others out at the Babcock Ranch. Together they built a camp there and worked from that camp to care for the 1000 plus cattle. Leff owned cattle down on Burnt Store Road and without fences the cattle could graze anywhere from South Punta Gorda to Pine Island. Leff was a Game Warden for the State of Florida and a Hunting Guide for the Eagle's Nest; Alapatchie Lodge and the Hotel Punta Gorda where he would take the novice hunters out to look for quail. Leff and Wife Beulah (Driggers) Lowe had 12 children: Lum; Ruth; Ester; Ben; Pete; Cecil; Ada Mae; Frances; Mary Jo; Velma; Delia; and Sim
