Her parents were Frederic Opperman, born in France, and Mary Scoble, born in Cincinnati, Ohio of English parents. Opperman began the study of piano at the age of five under her aunt, Laura H. Scoble, who was her teacher until she entered college. An accomplished pupil, she made her first public appearance as a pianist at the age of eight when she played at the Seymour, Indiana, opera house. A graduate of Aurora, Indiana High School, she received her diploma in piano and A.B. degree from Wesleyan College in Cincinnati at the age of 16. Later she received an artist diploma in piano and the Master of Music degree from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. She studied in Berlin in 1900-1901 as a private piano pupil of the Russian pianist-teacher Ernest Jedliczka. From 1907-1909, she studied piano in Paris with classical music composer Moritz Moszkowski and organ with Felix Alexandre Guilmant. After returning to this country in 1909, she studied in master classes conducted by Leopold Godowsky, Rudolph Ganz, Isador Phillip, and Guy Maier. She studied organ under Harold Gleason at the Eastman School of Music. In addition, she gave several piano and organ recitals in Indiana and at the Cincinnati Conservatory, from which she received an honorary Doctor of Pedagogy degree in 1943.\n Prior to her appointment at FSCW, Opperman taught two years at the Birmingham (Ohio) Seminary, one year at Knickerbocker Hall, in Indianapolis, and five years at Wesleyan College, in Macon, Georgia, where the president credited her with developing advanced curriculum standards. Opperman was appointed director of the FSCW School of Music in 1911, which at that time had a teaching faculty of six, and became its first dean in 1920, a post she held until her retirement in 1944. That year, she was named Dean Emeritus. The College became Florida State University (FSU) three years later. After her retirement, she wrote the Annals of the School of Music.\n Opperman held several national offices in organizations related to her field. In 1961 she was honored at the golden anniversary concert of the FSU Woman's Glee Club, a 60-member choral group which she was instrumental in organizing.\n Under Opperman's direction, the FSU School of Music instituted courses leading to the Bachelor's degree in piano, voice, organ, violoncello, composition, and public school music. In 1930, the School of Music became a member of the National Association of Schools of Music, only a few years after the organization was founded, and it was the first state school in the South to be accepted and accredited by the National Association. Opperman Music Hall, located on the FSU campus, was named for her. In that hall is a painting of Dean Opperman by Marie Goth, a member of one of the artist colonies in Brown County, Indiana, who is known for her paintings of General Douglas MacArthur, James Whitcomb Riley, and others.\n Opperman died in Tallahassee, Florida on March 11, 1969. Her biography has appeared in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, Who's Who in Florida, Who's Who in Music, Who's Who Among Women, Principal Women of America, American Women, and the Biographical Encyclopedia.","The collection was processed in October 1969. Additional materials were processed in 1990 and 1997, and the finding aid was updated in May 2006 by Burt Altman. Finding aid encoded by Emily Gaskin.","The Ella Scoble Opperman Papers document the personal and professional life of this accomplished musician and first Dean of the Florida State College for Women (FSCW) School of Music. The collection includes correspondence, articles, speech materials, notebooks, daybooks, music record books, memorabilia, photographs, biographical material. In addition, there are certificates and diplomas received by her sister, Katie Marie Opperman, correspondence from Ella Opperman to her parents, and correspondence between other Opperman family members. Subjects covered include the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Wesleyan Female College, the pianoforte, Cincinnati Wesleyan College, teacher certification, and the dedication of Opperman Music Hall on the Florida State University campus. Correspondents include Ernest Jedliczka, Felix Alexandre Guilmant, Moritz Moszkowski, and Percy Grainger, a noted composer and pianist.\n The collection is significant to scholars studying 19th and 20th Century piano and organ music and musicians. It is also a significant resource for those studying the history of music education in colleges and universities during the 20th Century and the evolution of the FSCW School of Music.","To request permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from the archives, please contact Heritage \u0026 University Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.

As a high school student his days were filled with competition. He was president of his sophomore, junior, and senior classes, salutatorian of his senior class, a member of the basketball and baseball teams, and captain of the football and track teams. He even participated in the Drama and Glee clubs and still found time to write a daily column for his local newspaper.\n While in college at Indiana University, Veller kept up the rigorous schedule to which he had grown accustomed. He retained an A average as he pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Education (1935), with minors in English, History, and Health. In his spare time, he was active on the football, basketball, track, baseball, and wrestling teams. He was a scholarship student while also receiving awards for his superior athleticism. He received his M.S. (1938) and PhD (1950) from that institution as well. As he worked his way through college, he held a variety of low-paying jobs, including foundry work, corn boring, working in an auto shop, highway work, waiting tables, and writing for the student newspaper. He married his college sweetheart, Miss Frances Brindley of Madison, Indiana.\n A man of varied interests, Veller combined his appreciation for the academic environment with his love of sport. After completing his undergraduate work, he was immediately appointed to teach Health and Physical Education classes at a high school in Elkhart, Indiana. There he also began his lifelong career of coaching as the Director of Football programs and an assistant coach of basketball and track.\n At the outbreak of World War II, Veller acted as a Special Services Officer in the Air Force at several installations along the East coast. He graduated from the Special Services and Information-Education Schools in Lexington, Virginia, and taught a variety of subjects for the military, including Special Services, Education, and Instruction Methods. Always the sportsman, he created an athletics and conditioning program for the Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and scouted for the Third Air Force football team. He retired from the Air Force Reserve Program as a Lieutenant Colonel after 33 years.\n In 1946, when Veller was able to continue his civilian career, he returned to the school coaching environment as the Director of Athletics and head football and track coach at Hanover College. After a short stint working for Indiana University as a tennis coach and an assistant football coach to Bo McMillin, Veller came to Florida State University, were he served for four years as its first full-time head football coach. During that time, FSU had its first undefeated season and first bowl victory. After his pigskin days at FSU came to an end, he remained at the university to coach golf until his retirement in 1982. During this time the golf team accomplished many great feats, including an undefeated season in 1957, several nationally ranked teams, and placing fourth in two NCAA Championships. Veller coached PGA Tour players Hubert Green, Paul Azinger, Jeff Sluman, Kenny Knox, and Brian Kamm. After successfully serving as Head Coach of both football and golf, Associate Director of Athletics, and Chairman of Coaching Curriculum, Veller retired as Professor Emeritus in 1982.\n During his coaching career Veller still found time to participate in sports journalism. He was a sports commentator on Radio WTNT of Tallahassee, Florida, in the 1950's and 60's. He hosted a weekly sports TV show on Tallahassee's WCTV from 1960 to 1976. By far the most prolific of his journalistic pursuits was his weekly golf column for the  Tallahassee Democrat , for which he wrote well over 2,000 columns from 1960 to 2004. He published a book of short poems,  Fluffs, Muffs, and Really Deep Rough , with which he ended these columns in 2000. He also published several articles in sports journals and more than fifty of his humorous golf poems in  Golf Digest .\n In honor of his numerous athletic accomplishments, Veller was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame (1978), the Florida State University Hall of Fame (1981), the State of Florida Sports Hall of Fame (to which he was inducted along with Arnold Palmer in 1985), the Indiana University Hall of Fame (1986), and the National Golf Coaches Hall of Fame at Pinehurst (1989). He received Indiana University's Distinguished Alumni Service Award, its highest alumni honor, in 1993.\n Don Veller died at his home in Tallahassee, Florida, November 10, 2006, just days after the death of Fran, his beloved wife of 70 years.","Processed in May 2007 by Ginger H.

He was a sports commentator on Radio WTNT of Tallahassee, Florida, in the 1950's and 60's. He hosted a weekly sports TV show on Tallahassee's WCTV from 1960 to 1976. By far the most prolific of his journalistic pursuits was his weekly golf column for the  Tallahassee Democrat , for which he wrote well over 2,000 columns from 1960 to 2004. He published a book of short poems,  Fluffs, Muffs, and Really Deep Rough , with which he ended these columns in 2000. He also published several articles in sports journals and more than fifty of his humorous golf poems in  Golf Digest .\n In honor of his numerous athletic accomplishments, Veller was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame (1978), the Florida State University Hall of Fame (1981), the State of Florida Sports Hall of Fame (to which he was inducted along with Arnold Palmer in 1985), the Indiana University Hall of Fame (1986), and the National Golf Coaches Hall of Fame at Pinehurst (1989).

In his spare time, he was active on the football, basketball, track, baseball, and wrestling teams. He was a scholarship student while also receiving awards for his superior athleticism. He received his M.S. (1938) and PhD (1950) from that institution as well. As he worked his way through college, he held a variety of low-paying jobs, including foundry work, corn boring, working in an auto shop, highway work, waiting tables, and writing for the student newspaper.

Her great-grandfather, Abraham Samuel Dzialynski, came to the United States and died in the yellow fever epidemic in Jacksonville, 1857. Her great uncles Jacob and Henry also died of the epidemic. Her great-grandmother, Rosalie Diamond Dzialynski, died in New York City in 1853 and was a native of Prussia, as was her husband, Robert S. Williams (1824-1889) born in Wreschen. Williams was a participant in the California Gold Rush in 1849. His wife, Helena Dzialynski, was born in 1836 in Posen, Prussia. They were married in New York City January 21, 1854. That year they came to Florida and settled in Hamilton County, where their daughter Rachelle was born. According to Rabbi Stanley Garfein of Tallahassee, Rachelle was the first Jewish child born in Florida. They spent the Civil War years in Savannah (GA) and experienced General William Tecumseh Sherman's occupation. After the war, they returned to Tallahassee. Upon settling in Tallahassee, Robert S. Williams inaugurated the city's first street lighting, by placing kerosene lamps on street posts. Another Williams daughter, Henrietta, married Julius Diamond, a merchant and owner of cotton plantations. Born March 10, 1853 in Germany, Diamond served as chairman of the Leon County Board of Commissioners from 1889 to 1899. He died in 1914. Julius and Henrietta Williams Diamond had two children - Sydney, who became an attorney, and Ruby. Ruby Diamond, daughter of Julius and Henrietta Williams Diamond, was born on September 1, 1886, in Tallahassee, Florida. According to Rabbi Garfein, she formed a \"link between the dwindling Jewish community of the late 1800s, and the families who moved in after the turn of the century.\" One of 13 members of Florida State College's (now, Florida State University) 1905 graduating class, Diamond received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry from that institution. When the family home was sold in the 1930s to make way for Tallahassee's first service station, Diamond began living in hotel rooms. She lived most of her life in her own room at the Floridan Hotel. When the Floridan was closed in 1977, Diamond moved into the Hilton, and was the hotel's only full-time resident until her death, on March 8, 1982. Preferring that her wealth should help those lacking basic necessities, Diamond contributed to many charities in Tallahassee and across Florida. She was a generous donor to more than 37 organizations, including the Tallahassee-Leon County Humane Society, the Tallahassee Women's Club, and the Florida Heritage Foundation. One of her oldest and least publicized projects, begun by her father, was the \"Diamond Vegetable Basket,\" which entitled needy Tallahassee residents to $1 worth of vegetable seeds and 50 pounds of fertilizer. She and her brother Sydney joined with other members of the Jewish community in founding Temple Israel in 1937. One of Florida State University (FSU)'s most generous benefactors, Diamond established two scholarship funds for disadvantaged scholars. In 1962, she funded a $2500 scholarship with the Southern Scholarship Foundation. She also supported the Alumni Association, and the Department of Educational Research, Development, and Foundations. When her brother Sydney died in 1946, she established in 1948, and continued to contribute to, the Sydney Hamilton Diamond Library Philosophy Fund, dedicated to her late brother. Diamond remained an annual contributor to the fund. She gave his personal library of approximately 6500 books and 900 pamphlets in philosophy to the Florida State University Library in 1950. In 1964, she also gave a collection of letters to the Library between her father Julius, a Confederate Army captain as well as a local merchant, and Captain Hugh Black. For these and many other contributions, FSU in 1970 expressed its appreciation to Diamond by naming its largest auditorium, located inside the Westcott Building, in her honor. In 1971, she donated property in Tallahassee worth $100,000 to the university, and at age 95 in 1981, she donated downtown property assessed at more than $100,000 to partially fund an endowed chair of \"national excellence\" in the College of Education. Diamond was also a political activist who fought for lower taxes and racial equality. Friends and acquaintances noted that she organized a nursery school for African-American children in Tallahassee before integration and helped organize the Miracle Hill Nursing Home in the African-American community. Ruby Diamond neither married nor had any children. She died on March 8, 1982 and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville, FL by the graves of her brother, parents, and grandparents.","Paul Eugen Camp, University of South Florida Library, Special Collections Librarian believes that the Diamond Papers were most likely donated by Ruby Diamond's distant cousin Daniel Rosenbaum of Tampa about 1988.","Portions of collection available online?: No","Processed by Burt Altman","The Ruby Diamond Family Papers includes primarily photographs of the Diamond and Williams families, as well as the Hirschberg family, her cousins. In addition, there is correspondence, mostly between cousins and friends of Ruby Diamond, news clippings about the Diamond family; genealogical materials; Ruby Diamond's eulogy, and a late 19th Century scrapbook containing news of family businesses, marriages, and obituaries. There are also papers of the Hirschberg family, Ruby Diamond's cousins, which include correspondence with Mena Hirschberg from family and friends, and with Morton Robert Hirschberg (Mena's son); publicity about Ruby Diamond's contributions to Florida State University; and a small watercolor painting on paper.

Her great-grandfather, Abraham Samuel Dzialynski, came to the United States and died in the yellow fever epidemic in Jacksonville, 1857. Her great uncles Jacob and Henry also died of the epidemic. Her great-grandmother, Rosalie Diamond Dzialynski, died in New York City in 1853 and was a native of Prussia, as was her husband, Robert S. Williams (1824-1889) born in Wreschen. Williams was a participant in the California Gold Rush in 1849. His wife, Helena Dzialynski, was born in 1836 in Posen, Prussia. They were married in New York City January 21, 1854. That year they came to Florida and settled in Hamilton County, where their daughter Rachelle was born. According to Rabbi Stanley Garfein of Tallahassee, Rachelle was the first Jewish child born in Florida. They spent the Civil War years in Savannah (GA) and experienced General William Tecumseh Sherman's occupation. After the war, they returned to Tallahassee.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eUpon settling in Tallahassee, Robert S. Williams inaugurated the city's first street lighting, by placing kerosene lamps on street posts. Another Williams daughter, Henrietta, married Julius Diamond, a merchant and owner of cotton plantations. Born March 10, 1853 in Germany, Diamond served as chairman of the Leon County Board of Commissioners from 1889 to 1899. He died in 1914. Julius and Henrietta Williams Diamond had two children - Sydney, who became an attorney, and Ruby.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eRuby Diamond, daughter of Julius and Henrietta Williams Diamond, was born on September 1, 1886, in Tallahassee, Florida. According to Rabbi Garfein, she formed a \"link between the dwindling Jewish community of the late 1800s, and the families who moved in after the turn of the century.\" One of 13 members of Florida State College's (now, Florida State University) 1905 graduating class, Diamond received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry from that institution.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhen the family home was sold in the 1930s to make way for Tallahassee's first service station, Diamond began living in hotel rooms. She lived most of her life in her own room at the Floridan Hotel. When the Floridan was closed in 1977, Diamond moved into the Hilton, and was the hotel's only full-time resident until her death, on March 8, 1982.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePreferring that her wealth should help those lacking basic necessities, Diamond contributed to many charities in Tallahassee and across Florida. She was a generous donor to more than 37 organizations, including the Tallahassee-Leon County Humane Society, the Tallahassee Women's Club, and the Florida Heritage Foundation. One of her oldest and least publicized projects, begun by her father, was the \"Diamond Vegetable Basket,\" which entitled needy Tallahassee residents to $1 worth of vegetable seeds and 50 pounds of fertilizer. She and her brother Sydney joined with other members of the Jewish community in founding Temple Israel in 1937.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOne of Florida State University (FSU)'s most generous benefactors, Diamond established two scholarship funds for disadvantaged scholars. In 1962, she funded a $2500 scholarship with the Southern Scholarship Foundation. She also supported the Alumni Association, and the Department of Educational Research, Development, and Foundations. When her brother Sydney died in 1946, she established in 1948, and continued to contribute to, the Sydney Hamilton Diamond Library Philosophy Fund, dedicated to her late brother. Diamond remained an annual contributor to the fund. She gave his personal library of approximately 6500 books and 900 pamphlets in philosophy to the Florida State University Library in 1950. In 1964, she also gave a collection of letters to the Library between her father Julius, a Confederate Army captain as well as a local merchant, and Captain Hugh Black. For these and many other contributions, FSU in 1970 expressed its appreciation to Diamond by naming its largest auditorium, located inside the Westcott Building, in her honor. In 1971, she donated property in Tallahassee worth $100,000 to the university, and at age 95 in 1981, she donated downtown property assessed at more than $100,000 to partially fund an endowed chair of \"national excellence\" in the College of Education.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eDiamond was also a political activist who fought for lower taxes and racial equality. Friends and acquaintances noted that she organized a nursery school for African-American children in Tallahassee before integration and helped organize the Miracle Hill Nursing Home in the African-American community.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eRuby Diamond neither married nor had any children.

The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. 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.

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."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Children's Home Society of Florida Collection, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["The Children's Home Society of Florida Collection, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.
