Individual Note: THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Charles J. Raby
FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready: "We knew the Rabys while in Freedom as Charley worked in the tower with Pappa and came into the Unity soon afterward. Eventually he went to Fort Myers, was married and brought up a family, although no longer young. Ralph lived with him in Freedom and was in Catharine's room in school. She did not like him and when he crawled up the aisle to her desk, she nearly broke her slate over his head. However, he was the one who received the reprimand, not she."

FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events by D. J. Richards, February 1927:
"It gives us great pleasure to record in this issue the return of Brothers Elbert W. Lindbeck, of Rock Island, Illinois, and Frank Rahn of Baltimore, Maryland. They are both happy to be back in the Unity again, and we are glad to have them. Brother Elbert is a Linotype operator, but understands the technique of job printing as well, and his assistance in this department of the publishing house is very much needed and will be appreciated. Brother Frank Rahn fits in wherever needed; it will be good to see him at his old place in the Koreshan Orchestra, playing the clarinet, or it may be the saxophone, as we understand he brought a saxophone with him. Both brothers are en rapport with the Master and his work, and proved it by coming back.
