Pyle’s New Historical Novel—Cuban Roots<br />

Attorney Michael A. Pyle,<br />

of Pyle, Dellinger & Duz,<br />

PLLC has published his<br />

second historical novel,<br />

Cuban Roots, after about 25 years of<br />

work. If you’d like to learn something<br />

about Cuban history and the<br />

current living situation, in a work<br />

of fiction rather than a history book,<br />

you should like it. The novel addresses<br />

family, social, cultural, racial,<br />

medical, and legal issues. You probably<br />

know that former dictator Fulgencio<br />

Batista lived in Daytona<br />

Beach in the 40s, which results in<br />

the Cuban characters coming to<br />

visit him.<br />

The book is available on Amazon,<br />

and the author appreciates<br />

orders in that way, which he will<br />

then sign at a signing event, in<br />

addition to giving you a partial refund.<br />

If you prefer not to order on<br />

Amazon, Pyle will sell copies at<br />

signing events. The owners of the<br />

Pallet Pub, a great new establishment<br />

at 814 Main Street have invited<br />

Pyle to hold a talk and signing event on<br />

Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 29, 5 to 7 P.M. An additional<br />

talk and signing event will be<br />

held on July 6 at Cinematique of Daytona,<br />

242 S. Beach St., at 10 A.M.<br />

Special to Seniors Todays<br />

Preserving history and the<br />

stories of the people of Ormond.<br />

The Ormond Beach<br />

Historical Society is looking<br />

for ancestors of the Gethsamane<br />

Cemetery on South Orchard Street,<br />

Ormond Beach.<br />

The cemetery is named for the Garden<br />

of Gethsemane, a sacred place in Christian<br />

tradition, where Jesus spent the night<br />

there before his arrest. The name means<br />

olive press, a reference to the abundance<br />

of olive trees in the garden.<br />

The Ormond Beach Historical Society<br />

is in the process of finding and<br />

preserving our black history through<br />

this old cemetery. The oldest visible<br />

date in the cemetery is 1870. Thanks<br />

to Ormond Beach Historical Society<br />

Board member, Erlene Turner, and<br />

local resident James F. Daniels, we are<br />

getting some intriguing stories of life<br />

in the area during the 1900's.<br />

One story was from James F. Daniels:<br />

James F. Daniels, worked his way<br />

up the ladder, first in the kitchen as a<br />

cook then promoted to bellhop & elevator<br />

operator at the Hotel Ormond.<br />

Every Saturday morning at ten o'clock,<br />

Gethsamane Cemetery<br />

all the staff would assemble in the<br />

lobby and get in line. This would include<br />

all the servants, chambermaids, elevator<br />

operators, bellhops, door men, everyone<br />

who provided some type of service to the<br />

guests. The hotel provided little brown<br />

envelopes with their names on them. Mr.<br />

Daniels stated, sometime they would get<br />

a dollar from the guests in the brown<br />

envelopes and these guest were called<br />

live wires. They wouldn't see so many of<br />

these, mostly quarters and fifty cents.<br />
