History
Oscar T. Conklin and Edith H. Mercier were married in Miami June 11, 1905. His 1907 diary as excerpted by his daughter records the life of a young husband and father--with a fine voice: he lists a number of occasions where he sang solos, including one at Royal Palm Hotel in front of 1200 persons. He was also a journalist who came to Florida to work for the Florida East Coast Hotel Company, later moving to the Miami Herald, where by 1911 he was general manager.
