This series contains files for various founders and administrators of the Children's Home Society of Florida. Correspondence makes up a majority of the papers found in this collection. Several of the society's founders can be found here including D. W. Comstock who traveled to Florida for the National Children's Home Society. D. W. Comstock was the society's first state superintendent, but died the following year in 1903. His niece and assistant state superintendent Cora Seaton took Comstock's position until 1912 when Marcus C. Fagg was installed. Information on other administrators can be found here including society presidents and executive directors as well as an obituary for Elizabeth Harkins who helped found the society. The Orphan Train is briefly mentioned in this series as it holds a few pieces of correspondence by Cora Seaton for a child she is trying to remove from the train and bring into her care.
