The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels.

Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.

Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes.

Perry Snell became a prominent developer of St. Petersburg's North Shore, the Old Northeast, and Snell Isle communities. Snell acquired tracts of land between 26th Avenue North and 30 th Avenue North, east of First Street North to Coffee Pot Bayou from the Erastus A. Barnard family of Chicago. Although documents in this collection have inclusive dates from 1898 through 1951, most of the materials relate to the 1913 land sale. These materials were acquired by purchase from Lighthouse Books through the Society for Advancement of Poynter Library. ","Notable materials in this collection include correspondence between George T. Turner and Barnard from 1912. Barnard asked for a $40,000 deposit, which represented one-quarter of the price. The full $160,000 was expected to be paid in ten years, at six percent interest, before the deed would be granted. Turner, who later developed Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, acted as an intermediary and was to receive a commission of 2.5 percent. Turner protested requiring the amount to be paid in full, since apparently it would deter buyers. Barnard, however, insisted on the full amount, fearing that he would be left holding undesirable portions of land. ","In November 1912, Turner found someone, presumably Snell, willing to agree to a binder of $20,000, and apparently Turner decided to front the rest until the full amount was paid. On December 6, 1912, Erastus Barnard transmitted the deed for \"the Northeast one-quarter, (1/4,) of Section Seven (7), and the West one-half, (½,) of the Northwest one-quarter, (1/4,) of Section Eight, (8,) Township Thirty-One (31,) South, Range Seventeen, (17,) East in Pinellas County Florida and another lot from the deceased Alice Barnard for $160,000 to the Central National Bank of St. Petersburg, Florida. ","A Central National Bank representative described Snell as an eastern syndicate who \"now seems more interested in Tampa property who was willing to bargain if Barnard would accept $25,000 now and another $25,000 in thirty days.\" ","Correspondence from Snell to Barnard in December 1912 suggested they were well-acquainted. \"I trust that your health will improve enough for you to come down for your usual winters stay,\" Snell mentioned in a letter. Barnard's responses had a more businesslike tone. A January 8, 1913 letter from Barnard to J.J. Berry tells Berry to stop working on his orange grove on the land, presumably since Snell would soon take control of the parcel. ","Most of the correspondence is in \"land-deal-legalese,\" but some of the letters are more personal. In one, Snell asked E.A. Barnard for financial assistance and apparently tried to win his trust over Turner, who Snell claimed was acting dishonorably and selfishly. Snell ran into some trouble with Turner in 1913 when showing some of Barnard's land to a Mr. Johnson of Washington. Turner and Snell agreed to split any commissions on this sale, but then Snell accused Turner of trying to claim it all. On a related deal, Snell said that Turner asked him to claim a commission and split it with Turner so that Turner would not have to split his share with his own business partner. In the same letter to Barnard, Snell asked for an extension for $4,000 from his $25,000 bill. Barnard later granted the request but clearly was not pleased. ","In the fall of 1913, Snell wrote that progress was being made on the land, but that it was expensive and therefore asked for an extension. \"I have before me 24 contracts all past due upon which the parties have asked an extension and there is nothing to do but grant it. [...] We have 24 teams and 40 men going now. We have hard surfaced streets, curbs, and cement walks and every block graded on all streets East of Locust Street. Lot of property ready for the market this winter. Mr. Hamlett and myself will both build nice homes on the Bayou this winter.\" ","All of Snell's correspondence after 1913 is typed on letterhead, and more formal. The years of World War I were apparently bad for Snell. \"Our losses in the depression of the past 4 years caused by the war will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we have taken our losses; and believe that a new era of prosperity in St. Petersburg is just arriving [...]\" On March 13, 1919, Snell wrote that he has \"recently purchased Mr. Hamlett's interest in the firm.\" In correspondence between Snell and Alice Howe, Snell is sometimes late on his payments. Each time Howe reminds him he will have to pay interest on the accumulating interest.

These materials were acquired by purchase from Lighthouse Books through the Society for Advancement of Poynter Library. ","Notable materials in this collection include correspondence between George T. Turner and Barnard from 1912. Barnard asked for a $40,000 deposit, which represented one-quarter of the price. The full $160,000 was expected to be paid in ten years, at six percent interest, before the deed would be granted. Turner, who later developed Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, acted as an intermediary and was to receive a commission of 2.5 percent. Turner protested requiring the amount to be paid in full, since apparently it would deter buyers. Barnard, however, insisted on the full amount, fearing that he would be left holding undesirable portions of land. ","In November 1912, Turner found someone, presumably Snell, willing to agree to a binder of $20,000, and apparently Turner decided to front the rest until the full amount was paid. On December 6, 1912, Erastus Barnard transmitted the deed for \"the Northeast one-quarter, (1/4,) of Section Seven (7), and the West one-half, (½,) of the Northwest one-quarter, (1/4,) of Section Eight, (8,) Township Thirty-One (31,) South, Range Seventeen, (17,) East in Pinellas County Florida and another lot from the deceased Alice Barnard for $160,000 to the Central National Bank of St. Petersburg, Florida. ","A Central National Bank representative described Snell as an eastern syndicate who \"now seems more interested in Tampa property who was willing to bargain if Barnard would accept $25,000 now and another $25,000 in thirty days.\" ","Correspondence from Snell to Barnard in December 1912 suggested they were well-acquainted. \"I trust that your health will improve enough for you to come down for your usual winters stay,\" Snell mentioned in a letter. Barnard's responses had a more businesslike tone. A January 8, 1913 letter from Barnard to J.J. Berry tells Berry to stop working on his orange grove on the land, presumably since Snell would soon take control of the parcel. ","Most of the correspondence is in \"land-deal-legalese,\" but some of the letters are more personal. In one, Snell asked E.A. Barnard for financial assistance and apparently tried to win his trust over Turner, who Snell claimed was acting dishonorably and selfishly. Snell ran into some trouble with Turner in 1913 when showing some of Barnard's land to a Mr. Johnson of Washington. Turner and Snell agreed to split any commissions on this sale, but then Snell accused Turner of trying to claim it all. On a related deal, Snell said that Turner asked him to claim a commission and split it with Turner so that Turner would not have to split his share with his own business partner. In the same letter to Barnard, Snell asked for an extension for $4,000 from his $25,000 bill. Barnard later granted the request but clearly was not pleased. ","In the fall of 1913, Snell wrote that progress was being made on the land, but that it was expensive and therefore asked for an extension. \"I have before me 24 contracts all past due upon which the parties have asked an extension and there is nothing to do but grant it. [...] We have 24 teams and 40 men going now. We have hard surfaced streets, curbs, and cement walks and every block graded on all streets East of Locust Street. Lot of property ready for the market this winter. Mr. Hamlett and myself will both build nice homes on the Bayou this winter.\" ","All of Snell's correspondence after 1913 is typed on letterhead, and more formal. The years of World War I were apparently bad for Snell. \"Our losses in the depression of the past 4 years caused by the war will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we have taken our losses; and believe that a new era of prosperity in St. Petersburg is just arriving [...]\" On March 13, 1919, Snell wrote that he has \"recently purchased Mr. Hamlett's interest in the firm.\" In correspondence between Snell and Alice Howe, Snell is sometimes late on his payments. Each time Howe reminds him he will have to pay interest on the accumulating interest. "],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eC.
