Charles Sebra was born to Orsamus and Rosetta McIntosh on November 10, 1891 in Westfield, MA. He lived in Massachusetts with his parents and five siblings until at least 1905 when his sister Hazel died. The rest of the family moved south to Gainesville City where they are listed in the 1910 census. Charles was working as a laborer in a plumber shop. The 1912 Orlando City Directory listed Chas McIntosh working at Armstrong’s Undertaking Est. at 5 W. Pine St. In the 1915-1916 Orlando City Directory you could find Chas S. McIntosh listed as a picture framer at 3 PO Arcade, h 92 Lake View Ave. There was a reference to an ad on page E of the Classified Dept. The ad said "C.S. McIntosh, Pictures and Picture Framing, Mirrors, Old Mirrors Re-silvered, Photos Enlarged, P.O. Box 524, No. 3 Arcade Bldg., Orlando, Fla."

He lived in Sanford when on May 15, 1915; he married Ruth Brennan who lived in Orlando. They had their first child Hazel in Orlando, moved to Daytona Beach and had Warner and Viola. They settled in Daytona where Charles became the manager of Baggett-Weatherby Co. In 1946 he became the president of the company when he took ownership in Baggett-McIntosh. Nearing retirement he became the vice president of the company in about 1960. He held this position until his death.

A man of many interests, Charles made furniture in his workshop. He had all the tools a good woodworker needed to make dressers, end tables and wooden games. He also had his own darkroom to develop all the photos he took of family, friends and beautiful Daytona Beach. His interest in photography had him serve as the president of camera club in Daytona Beach.

Charles served two terms as president of the Florida Funeral Directors and Embalmers Assn. The job of secretary-treasurer for this organization was his for 12 years. The Florida State Board of Funeral Directors, Examiners Board also had him as secretary-treasurer. He was a member of the Community Methodist Church, Elks Club, No 1141, Halifax Lodge, No 81, F&AM, and the Kiwanis Club.
