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 />
