Percy Quin was well known for his philanthropic efforts specifically for orphans. An orphanage was erected on the lands of the cotton fields. In the great cottonfield fire of 1925 the damage to the orphanage was so extensive that Percy had to sell off his land to pay the restitution of the surrounding communities. Since a number of the orphans perished in the fire, the remaining survivors went on to graduate and donate money for the purchase of the land now known as Percy Quin State Park. (en)
