Frank,

I suppose the reasons that you suggested, such as poor communication and 
an inconsistency in spelling of the location name among residents at 
that time (there were probably only a handful of good spellers in the 
area of Lake Okeechobee in 1916 anyway :), are good reasons for me to 
let sleeping dogs lie. I checked Google and there are 16,800 entries for 
the same incorrect spelling of Okeechobee (almost 5 million for the 
correct spelling)... so I guess your explanation explains a lot. Thanks 
for taking the time to answer my post.

David
