Corinne Tanner for many years wrote a column of “personals” for the weekly Gainesville Eagle and its successor, The Times. In the weekly paper it was called “The City Locally,” and in The Times “Queen’s Court.” She compiled thousands of local names into the column from when she started it in 1926 until just a few months before she died in April 1976.
