Individual Note: THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Bessie Grier
FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready; Bessie Grier: "They came to the Unity from the west, and I believe Oklahoma. The two older boys did not stay long, and do not believe they came to Estero. Bessie and Jessie were twins. They came to Florida but soon left. Ada was Lovelle's age. We never thought she paid much attention to her school studies but, when she became angry at someone, as often happened, and sounded off about that person, the big words she used, and generally correctly, were amazing. Everybody in the dormitory would gather around for it was well worth listening to. She married Carlton Case."
