     THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Theodore Yaley and wife Ellen.

FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready; Ellen Yaley: "Husband and wife. He was a tinsmith and had a high, rather squeaky voice, but was nice to everybody, as was Ellen. She had the corner room next to Lovelle and me when I had the anemia and always asked if there was anything I needed when she would be going downstairs. Lovelle tells of a little episode after Ellen had moved to one of the small cottages. Lovelle stopped by one day and was hospitably served a cup of coffee into which Ellen had put a spoonful of salt instead of sugar. Lovelle drank it without a word. Some days later when they happened to meet, Ellen asked about it, saying she had recently changed the contents of some of her containers and had wondered about it. Lovelle stoutly maintained that it was sugar but never was sure whether Ellen believed her or not. To some, Ellen's loud, incessant talking was annoying and Allen being one of them, he transposed the letters of her name and called her "Yellin Aley."

THE FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events by Max E. Arendt; January 1932: "We are glad to report the return to the Unity of Mrs. Emily Bessemer who had been residing at Washinton, D. C., for some time. Sister Emily was a former resident of the Unity."

THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by Max E. Arendt; June 1936: "Sister Emily Bessemer, whom we all admired for the excellent work she did as one of our two cooks, left on May 8, to visit with relatives in Washington, D.C. for the summer. Sister Ida Fischer remains as our stand-by as chief cook."

FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events by D. J. Richards, September 1937: "On our way home to Estero, we stopped at Washington D. C., and again it was our good fortune to have Sister Emily Bessemer and her son Alton meet us at the station, and in the latter's car we were soon seeing the wonders of our nation's capital. Space forbids, however, any description of the place. But it was a great pleasure to meet Sister Emily and her three boys, Lewis, Alton, and Auriel and their families. These boys were practically brought up in the Unity, for they spent twelve years here, and we might say in passing that Auriel, the youngest son has developed into one of the outstanding artists in the nation's capital."
