THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Daniel McNamara; Born: 1866, Ireland; Died: 29 Apr 1942 Burial: Koreshan Unity Cemetery--lot 32: Inscription: Daniel McNamara/1866-Apr 1942 (Koreshan Unity Cemetery located in Pelican Sound Development on Corkscrew Rd. at US 41 on the Estero River) THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by Alafae Stephens; August 1933: "Brother Daniel McNamara has been busily engaged in doing some extensive gardening, preparing ground for all planting. With Brother Mac on the job, we have good reason to expect an abundance of fresh garden vegetables this winter." THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by Claude J. Rahn; October 1935: "Brother Daniel McNamara is convalescing from the painful effects of a dislocated shoulder and the attendant shock resulting from a fall off the porch of his dwelling. It occurred on the night of the fourth, the day following the storm, and it seems that Mac was unable to find a dry match in his room with which to light his lamp, so boldly he sallied forth into the wet gloom and inky darkness of the night equipped only with an unlighted lamp and unbounded confidence in himself and things generally. How he ever hoped to find a dry match or an honest man with an unlighted lamp is unknown to us, but stepping highly and with reckless abandon he pursued his dubious course until suddenly a crash and hoarse cries for help disturbed the composure of his neighbors. They found him very much "up-sot" but the unlighted lamp including its fragile chimney were wholly intact. New while Mac is experiencing "all the tortures of hell" we are going to miss for awhile those fine vegetables he knows so well how to produce."
