document.write('Lawson Diggett was born in Lake Como, Florida July 24, 1901. He moved to Seabreeze, Florida, in 1902 with his English parents. Diggett began a lifelong interest in automobiles as a child. When he was 11 years old he began carving models. He became engrossed with the hobby and his parents provided him with a workshop attached to their home. He specialized in building miniature automobiles, but had a vast collection including airplanes, ships, trucks, trains, carriages, furniture and more. Most of his models were build prior to the 1940s before modern materials such as plastics, Styrofoam and super glue. All of his models were fashioned from scratch, made mostly from pine and tin cans. He also utilized scrap items such as rubber pads from a conveyer belt for tires on the cars. He hand painted every model in authentic colors to match the full sized original he copied. He was an avid writer and photographer and corresponded with race drivers and racing enthusiasts throughout the world. He recorded racing activities in detail in scrapbooks and collected every magazine and book pertaining to automobile racing. He photographed much of life in Daytona and that included all aspects of racing. He also kept a diary every day of his life. In the 1930s he built a model of the Temple to Speed which was proposed for City Island including a cloverleaf park setting. In 1938, he created his most ambitious and memorable work which was a 4&#39; x 14&#39; replica of the Boardwalk. When Diggett died, he left his entire estate to the Halifax Historical Society. Many of his models are in the museum. ');

document.write('Mary McLeod Bethune was born on July 10, 1875, in Mayesville, South Carolina, one of 17 children born to former slaves. She went to school with the help of scholarships to attend Scotia College in North Carolina and later graduate from Moody Bible College in Chicago, IL (1895-97). In 1898, she married Albert Bethune. She had originally intended to become a missionary in Africa, but decided to come to Florida as a teacher in 1902. In 1904, she developed and founded the Daytona Normal and Industrial School for Girls. She started with $1.50 in cash, a few packing cases and a rented cottage. That was the humble beginning of what would become Bethune-Cookman College in 1923 then merged with the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville. Dr. Bethune was president of Bethune-Cookman College until 1942, building it into a nationally known and accredited school. As she liked to say, she built it &quot;brick upon brick&quot; into a multi-million dollar institution. In addition to her educational life, she was an active businesswoman. She was president and director of a life insurance company for African-Americans and purchased and developed the Bethune Beach for Negroes south of New Smyrna Beach. She received many awards and honors in her lifetime including honorary degrees from 14 colleges and universities and was friend and advisor to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt throughout their lifetimes. Dr. Bethune was a member of the Hoover Committee for Child Welfare, director of the National Business League, the National Urban League, and the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. She was the first black woman to head a federal office, and as such she created the informal &quot;Black Cabinet&quot; of the New Deal. A national memorial in Washington, D.C. was erected in her honor in July of 1974. Dr Bethune died on May 18, 1955 at age 79, and is remembered today as a great visionary and beloved figure in Daytona Beach history. ');

document.write('Charles Burgoyne was born in Fairmont Virginia in 1847. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, joining at age 14. At age 28 he went to New York and began a printing company. After earning a fortune there, he moved to Florida with his third wife, young Mary Therese MacCauley, who was a proofreader at his printing company. Charles Burgoyne purchased a city block in downtown Daytona between Bay and Volusia and Beach and Palmetto Streets. He built an ornate three-story mansion that became the showplace of the area. He was elected Mayor of Daytona between 1897 - 1898, and in 1899 he was elected Commodore of the Yacht Club. He was referred to after that time as Commodore. His 65&#39; yacht, The Sweetheart was built in 1898, and a huge boathouse was built on the river across from the mansion to accommodate it. In 1912, Burgoyne had a $25,000 aeolian pipe organ installed in his home. He played the organ for his friends and associates at musicales held in his music room. The Commodore shared his love of music with the public by building a round gazebo at the corner of Orange and Beach Streets and hired Saracina&#39;s Royal Italian Bank from New York to play here during the winter seasons. In 1914, to improve the downtown Beach Street area, he built as a gift to the City a 10&#39; wide concrete promenade bordered by a rock seawall that extended from Orange to Bay Streets. It was lined with streetlights, each pole containing a cluster of five large white globes. It was named THE ESPLANADE BURGOYNE, and a bronze plaque to honor him for this was donated by the City. In 1915, he built a spacious casino across the street from the Merchant&#39;s Bank. It was a 17,000 square foot structure and was to house the band that played in the winter season, and to be used for other types of recreation. It burned in 1937 and was lost forever. The Burgoyne&#39;s had no children of their own and were very generous to the children of the town, providing milk for school children and aiding the needy in whatever they could. Mrs. Burgoyne gave young girls of the town a pearl necklace for their birthday, and a huge party was provided for the children every year on the lawn of their home. Mr. Burgoyne died unexpectedly in 1916 at the age of 69. He is buried at Pinewood Cemetery on Main Street in Daytona. The marble angel placed on his grave was vandalized in 1953 and has not been replaced. Mrs. Burgoyne continued to live in the home for the next 25 years at which point she sold the home to a land developer and spent the rest of her years in an apartment on Grandview Avenue. She died in 1944 at the age of 81. A booklet of the life of Charles Grover Burgoyne is for sale in the Gift Shop at the Halifax Historical Museum. ');

document.write('Mary McLeod Bethune was born on July 10, 1875, in Mayesville, South Carolina, one of 17 children born to former slaves. She went to school with the help of scholarships to attend Scotia College in North Carolina and later graduate from Moody Bible College in Chicago, IL (1895-97). In 1898, she married Albert Bethune. She had originally intended to become a missionary in Africa, but decided to come to Florida as a teacher in 1902. In 1904, she developed and founded the Daytona Normal and Industrial School for Girls. She started with $1.50 in cash, a few packing cases and a rented cottage. That was the humble beginning of what would become Bethune-Cookman College in 1923 then merged with the Cookman Institute of Jacksonville. Dr. Bethune was president of Bethune-Cookman College until 1942, building it into a nationally known and accredited school. As she liked to say, she built it &quot;brick upon brick&quot; into a multi-million dollar institution. In addition to her educational life, she was an active businesswoman. She was president and director of a life insurance company for African-Americans and purchased and developed the Bethune Beach for Negroes south of New Smyrna Beach. She received many awards and honors in her lifetime including honorary degrees from 14 colleges and universities and was friend and advisor to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt throughout their lifetimes. Dr. Bethune was a member of the Hoover Committee for Child Welfare, director of the National Business League, the National Urban League, and the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. She was the first black woman to head a federal office, and as such she created the informal &quot;Black Cabinet&quot; of the New Deal. A national memorial in Washington, D.C. was erected in her honor in July of 1974. Dr Bethune died on May 18, 1955 at age 79, and is remembered today as a great visionary and beloved figure in Daytona Beach history. ');

document.write('Charles Burgoyne was born in Fairmont Virginia in 1847. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, joining at age 14. At age 28 he went to New York and began a printing company. After earning a fortune there, he moved to Florida with his third wife, young Mary Therese MacCauley, who was a proofreader at his printing company. Charles Burgoyne purchased a city block in downtown Daytona between Bay and Volusia and Beach and Palmetto Streets. He built an ornate three-story mansion that became the showplace of the area. He was elected Mayor of Daytona between 1897 - 1898, and in 1899 he was elected Commodore of the Yacht Club. He was referred to after that time as Commodore. His 65&#39; yacht, The Sweetheart was built in 1898, and a huge boathouse was built on the river across from the mansion to accommodate it. In 1912, Burgoyne had a $25,000 aeolian pipe organ installed in his home. He played the organ for his friends and associates at musicales held in his music room. The Commodore shared his love of music with the public by building a round gazebo at the corner of Orange and Beach Streets and hired Saracina&#39;s Royal Italian Bank from New York to play here during the winter seasons. In 1914, to improve the downtown Beach Street area, he built as a gift to the City a 10&#39; wide concrete promenade bordered by a rock seawall that extended from Orange to Bay Streets. It was lined with streetlights, each pole containing a cluster of five large white globes. It was named THE ESPLANADE BURGOYNE, and a bronze plaque to honor him for this was donated by the City. In 1915, he built a spacious casino across the street from the Merchant&#39;s Bank. It was a 17,000 square foot structure and was to house the band that played in the winter season, and to be used for other types of recreation. It burned in 1937 and was lost forever. The Burgoyne&#39;s had no children of their own and were very generous to the children of the town, providing milk for school children and aiding the needy in whatever they could. Mrs. Burgoyne gave young girls of the town a pearl necklace for their birthday, and a huge party was provided for the children every year on the lawn of their home. Mr. Burgoyne died unexpectedly in 1916 at the age of 69. He is buried at Pinewood Cemetery on Main Street in Daytona. The marble angel placed on his grave was vandalized in 1953 and has not been replaced. Mrs. Burgoyne continued to live in the home for the next 25 years at which point she sold the home to a land developer and spent the rest of her years in an apartment on Grandview Avenue. She died in 1944 at the age of 81. A booklet of the life of Charles Grover Burgoyne is for sale in the Gift Shop at the Halifax Historical Museum. ');
