1904.

John Henry Williams (1871 - 1944) a prosperous carpenter from Bucks Horry, SC. and his wife

Alice Smith Williams (1879-1968) were newlyweds when they assisted

Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune ( 1875-1955) in establishing the renowned Bethune Cookman College here in Daytona Beach.

Due to an initial lack of space, yet a burning in her heart, Mrs. Williams held

the first classes in her own vast mansion.

Thus history would forever give credit

to the Williamses for starting Bethune Cookman College.
