Furniture For Thought When did your love for antiques begin?
Suzie Johnston has been an antique dealer for 24 years right here in st. Augustine, but her love for antiques goes back since childhood. This business and its owner is far from run of the mill, and we are delighted to have heard some of her wonderful stories.
I was a freshman at Kansas State University when I became fascinated with deserted houses falling apart along the lonely and forlorn roads winding for miles through the wheat fields of Kansas. In those days you wouldn’t see any sign of a car in any direction even though you could see for miles and miles across the wind-blown prairies of Kansas. Scrubby trees could only survive in the scarce hollows of that prairie which was only suitable for growing corn or wheat. Searching for haunted houses was like an intro to a psycho movie and presented a hair-raising adventure. Little did I know finding forgotten treasure was going to evolve into my work life with antiques. I was able to drum up participation with a few friends and pile them into my roommate’s jalopy car and head for the deserted roads of the wind-swept prairies. As we traveled, we could see a tiny house miles away. Driving towards the house, fear mounted as the house would loom closer when we saw the hollow windowed, bleached and leaning building. Weeds as high as broken or missing windows and

bushes growing through gaps of missing porch boards seemed sinister. Doors, if any, were at ghostly angles, no floors were to be trusted. The quest was to find entry into the house and hope buckshot from a mad farmer wouldn’t follow your butt through the openings as you climbed through them. Blinding Kansas sunlight would compound the darkness inside the structure; our weight would make the floor creak. Minutes would go by before our eyes adjusted to see the decrepit interior, cobwebs, filth and THE TREASURE. There were usually items lying forgotten in corners. Only courage and curiosity would make it possible to pick anything up. If worthwhile, then an engineering meeting ensued to figure out how to steal it through window, missing wall, etc. Once in daylight I usually fell in love with whatever it was.... then the challenge of how to get it into the jalopy and down the road to Manhattan. This is how I fell for the charm Curiosity will take you far----into a career! Why did you choose to move to St. Augustine?
Two reasons predicated my choice to move to St. Augustine. The first was inspired by a visit to St. Augustine decades before moving here. I simply fell in love with the ambiance of the town and the proximity to the ocean. The other reason was to escape the cold winter climate of Indianapolis,

where I lived prior to my move to St. Augustine. What has been the most unique piece of furniture you have had? After ‘inventing the Antique Warehouse’ 24 years ago, it is impossible to choose my favorite antique....it is like being asked which kid is your favorite, or which of my 3 careers (teaching, real estate sales, antiques) is my favorite. So many gorgeous and fascinating items have been in my possession I cannot choose. The list is very long. I just know I have really loved doing this.....it is a self taught career---you cannot learn it in school, There are magic components to being good at it---another topic---but include common sense, good taste, liking people, enjoyment of history, research and having gifted intuition about the furniture without knowing why it is valuable. You either have that gift or you don’t. We call it the furniture ‘talking to you.’

Business owner of the month What has been your most amusing customer situation?
challenge of itself. One of my least used manipulations is if a customer keeps beating me up on price....I will begin to increase the price with a predictable result of them leaving the building! As planned! A hard to please customer who picks at the scratches and flaws of a 100 year old item gets invited to visit Thomasville Furniture in Jacksonville---politely with a smile on my face, I tell them they will be happier there as there are no scratches on that furniture. They usually don’t know they are being thrown out.
If you are in a good mood, you will find the most amusing customers are the most ignorant ones. If you are cranky or they are insulting, you want to throw them out, which I have done. The dumbest question of all was whether I was aware that my cat, Chatsworth, had only 3 legs. I was dumbfounded.....I felt like saying he had a habit of taking one of his legs off and had been repeatedly punished for doing it as it scared customers away. Chatsworth was my lovely cat for 19 years and when he was 12 he had to have a rear leg amputated, which never bothered him a bit. He was a regular attendee of warehouse staff. Everyone loved his funny and smart personality. This business attracts very eccentric personalities which have required that I be ready in a nano-second to pretend that the goof-balls are quite normal. It has led to many crazy encounters and my supreme ability to become an actor instantly and display appropriate reactions to these whacked people without missing a beat. A keen ability to stop customers ‘incessant story-telling is also a requirement. A sense of humor is mandatory as is not insulting anyone, which can be a inner
What made you decide to go into the antique business, and what keeps you motivated to stay here? The antique business is plain fun. It is never boring as there are always so many aspects to it. No matter how much you know, you don’t know much. There are no catalogues to choose inventory, it comes in the door from all kinds of places which is exciting.... there isn’t another one of anything. I love the connection to history and the stories the furniture/items tell. I enjoy the customers 99% of the time and they are very grateful for the existence of a good, fine and genuine antique shop. They love what they buy here and that makes me

happy. I enjoy sharing what I know about everything in the shop, and if I don’t know background on unusual items, I find out. The more I can tell my customer what they are buying, the better they love it and the more they appreciate it. These are only some of the reasons I keep doing what I am doing. I like and enjoy the relationships I have built up through the years with customers and colleagues alike. There isn’t a more interesting job that I could do, although I loved teaching (and I do a lot of it with this job) and my career in real estate too. This isn’t a job, it is just so very interesting it is more like a hobby.

Did You Know? Saint augustine, our towns namesake, was officially known as Augustine of Hippo?
pg 24
March 2015 | Issue 001 | 450th anniversary issue
Latin: Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis He was the bishop of Hippo Regius (modern-day Annaba, Algeria), located in Numidia (Roman province of Africa). He is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers in the Western Christianity for his writings in the Patristic Era.
St. Augustine of Hippo is the patron of brewers because of his conversion from a former life of loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions. His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break.
The Christian philosopher and theologian St. Augustine (354-430) is best known for “The Confessions” and “The City of God.” After the authors of the New Testament, he has probably been the most influential Christian writer.
Saint Augustine died August 28, 430 His cause of death was due to natural causes. Confessors are people who died natural deaths as opposed to a martyr who is regarded as one who is put to death for his Christian faith or convictions 450th anniversary issue | March 2015 | issue 001

year. I proved valuable to the company and ended up being involved in their next project, the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, as a Museum Design Specialist (a very handy painter!) and they’ve kept me since then. From then on, I’ve been able to use the skills I’ve learned from being on the Art Department and some very good word from my employers at HTA to network with other clients and companies.
It was equal parts talent and uncanny coincidence that I ended up working for Historic Tours of America. I have been a member of their Art Department team for four years now. I happened to run into the art director of the company on Saint George street while I was showing my portfolio to a prospective client. We exchanged contacts and a few weeks later he called to ask if I’d be interested in helping him create these concrete sculptures of a chain gang for the Old Jail. Although I was incredibly nervous, I gave it my best, and was soon working every weekend on the sculptures and then a few more projects for the Old Jail. I loved being there, they loved my enthusiasm and talent, and I got hired part-time for the summer of 2011 to help do setdressing for the Oldest Store Museum, which was scheduled to open later in the

Characters of saint augustine
SAlt Water heals everything spend your summers at Saint Augustine’s Beaches
A character in history
Even his name sounds swashbuckling.
So you won’t be surprised to learn that this Revolutionary War patriot: ■ Carried messages from Gen. George Washington to the marquis de Lafayette ■ Dined with Thomas Jefferson ■ Fled the new United States to avoid debtors prison in Georgia ■ Came to St. Augustine and became the go-to man for the Spanish governor of East Florida ■ Was forced to leave his wife who would not move with him, although he never stopped trying to get her to join him.
McQueen was a footnote in history until novelist Eugenia Price breathed life into his story with her book titled — what else? — “Don Juan McQueen.” Her story of how a Philadelphia-born man became a linchpin in early Florida history captured people’s imaginations. As did the story of the separation of McQueen and his wife, Anne, who would not move to Spanish Florida from Georgia; she could not accept his conversion to Catholicism or renounce her patriotism. “Don Juan McQueen” is one of three of stories featuring North Florida in Price’s trilogy. The series, like Price’s St. Simons Trilogy, was enormously popular and visitors still come looking for the places mentioned in the series.
pg 34
March 2015 | Issue 001 | 450th anniversary issue
McQueen is buried in Tolomato Cemetery on Cordova Street in St. Augustine, although the exact location of his grave isn’t certain. Until recently no monument to his memory stood in the cemetery. It took the Maria Jefferson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to change that.
Documenting the story One of those who read the series after it came out in the 1970s was Virginia Hassenflu, a member of the Maria Jefferson chapter. Ask how she became interested in McQueen and she’ll tell you, “That’s a big story. “I love history and I love St. Augustine. I picked up ‘Maria’ [another book in Price’s Florida trilogy] and enjoyed it. I would walk all over the city, all the places she walked. (That’s how) I happened to come across Don Juan McQueen. He sounded like such a dashing person, an entrepreneur, and the neat thing is he was buried in Tolomato Cemetery, so I enjoyed that.” About five years ago one of Hassenflu’s DAR friends at Amelia Island pointed out McQueen could qualify as a DAR Revolutionary Patriot. That put Hassenflu on the historical trail for needed documentation. “It just consumed me. I didn’t spend all five years doing the research … but it took quite a while to get everything together,” Hassenflu said. That included chapter members raising money for a bronze plaque, finding ancestors of McQueen and working out the ceremony.
“Here is a man who came down sometime after the revolution became he had many debts and wasn’t able to pay them. In order to escape prison, which was what happened to debtors then, he came down to Spanish Florida and was welcomed by the people here. He turned Catholic and was baptized into the Catholic Church,” she said. With the help of the diocese, here, she was able to find original documents about McQueen.
Becoming Don Juan Several times in her research she came across the name of Father Michael (or Miguel) O’Reilly, an Irish priest in the service of the Spanish crown. The two men were friends who often talked and played checkers together. When McQueen died, it was O’Reilly who signed the death record. “O’Reilly kept showing up through the story the whole time,” Hassenflu said. McQueen started life as John McQueen, born in Philadelphia and raised in Charles Town, S.C. He was a land speculator who owned thousands of acres in South Carolina and Georgia but threw his lot in with the rebels during the revolution. Commissioned a captain in the Navy of South Carolina, he would often carry dispatches from Washington to the marquis de Lafayette. After the war he continued speculating in land and settled with his family on a small plantation in Savannah, Ga. By 1789 he owned large sums to tax collectors and creditors and fled to Spanish Florida. Once there he swore allegiance to the Spanish crown and converted to Catholicism. And that’s where plain John McQueen became Don Juan McQueen.
450th anniversary issue | March 2015 | issue 001
pg 35
A character in history “(McQueen) was always being sent by the Spanish governor to settle some dispute,” Hassenflu said. Every time he was sent, he ended up getting a grant of land for his services. At one point he owned land as far south as Key Biscayne. His missions must have required every bit of his finesse and charm as he sought to settle disputes filled with politics and acrimony, especially along the Florida-Georgia border, where Americans hungered for the Florida land belonging to Spain.
Almost together When McQueen fled to escape debtors prison, he had to leave behind his wife and children. Despite numerous attempts by McQueen, Anne refused to follow him — until almost the end. “He had a plantation up on the St. Johns River, the San Juan, of course they called it. He was fixing up one home hoping his wife would come. She didn’t want to be Roman Catholic to all appearance. … From letters it appears as if she was going to come. But he fell ill and died while up there. They brought his body down and he was promptly buried,” Hassenflu said. The date was Oct. 11, 1807. Fast forward a couple of hundred years to the efforts of the DAR. As members of the organization walked through Tolomato Cemetery trying to decide where to put the marker, someone pointed to a small palm and suggested putting the bronze-andcoquina marker there.
pg 36
March 2015 | Issue 001 | 450th anniversary issue
“And who do you suppose was in the grave right by McQueen?” asked Hassenflu. “Why, Father O’Reilly. … At the dedication we said we figured there probably would be some checker games tonight.”
Finding Don Juan Finding a copy of Eugenia Price’s “Don Juan McQueen” can be a bit of a hunt. Now out of print, copies are available at used bookstores and online. Apparently when the copyrights were renewed, the book was missed. The other two books in the Florida Trilogy – “Maria” and “Margaret’s Story” – are at the St. Augustine/St. Johns County Visitor Information Center on San Marco Avenue. Several of her other books are also for sale there.
