Notes for Ellen YALEY

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."
