 A successful lawyer, Charles was elected Florida's first United States Congressman.He showed no interest in agriculture, however, and the mill was never operated again.The mill sugar boiling kettles were no longer used to process sugar after the Civil War, but when two whales beached themselves below the newly-built wooden Port Orange bridge in 1906, their carcasses were dragged to Dunlawton plantation where the furnaces were fired up and the oil from the whales' blubber rendered in the old kettles.
