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.
Bethune Cookman College is located in Florida.
