THE FLAMING SWORD; October 1938; Page 15: After Moravia, an establishment was started in Syracuse, N. Y., which also lasted about two years. Then followed two years of trying times in New York City. From there Koresh went to Chicago about 1887, securing enough converts to start the Home at College Place on September 6 the following year. Shortly thereafter others entered the Home in increasing numbers: the Graham family--Alfred and Ella Graham, Florence, Bertha, Robert and Lloyd; the L'Amoreaux family; Susan and Barbara Ehrisman; the Bonnells; Victoria; Elizabeth Robinson; the MacCumbers; etc.

Bonnell Residence; Client: Bonnell, Henry H.; Type: dwelling; Location: 418 W. Mermaid Ln.; Philadelphia, PA (It may be a coincidence, but there was a Bonnell family who joined the Koreshans in the late 1800's and donated the Steinway piano which is located in the Art Hall at the Koreshan State Historic Site. This Bonnell project is one of many in which Walter Horstmann Thomas was the architect.) *See Walter Horstmann Thomas
