Scope and Contents: 34 autograph diaries by two members of the McCormick family record events of their lives in South Florida and Philadelphia at the turn of the century. Florida locations include Hypoluxo, Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Dade County, probably in the Coconut Grove area
Biographical Note: It appears that the McCormicks initially came down for the winter to South Florida, and later may have been here most of the year. R. R. McCormick kept careful track of the weather and his business correspondence; W. F. (who may have been his son and wrote only one of the diaries) went fishing and wrote poetry
