FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by D. J. Richards; November 1930: "Harl Price Cook and Roger Rilleau, of New York City, arrived in Estero on a motorcycle and were guests of the Unity for some days. Harl is a grandson of Doctor J. R. Price, and lived in the Unity for a while. The boys had a wonderful time while here, fishing and swimming. Harl contributes one story a month to the True Story magazine."

FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by D. J. Richards; December 1930: "The writer in company with Dr. James Russell Price and Sister Adah Price, spent four days in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently, attending the 46th annual convention of the Southern Homeopathic Medical Society, of which Dr. Price is a member. The convention was held at the Suwanne Hotel, and was one of the most successful even held by the organization, due largely to the untiring energy of its president, Dr. William A. Guild, of St. Petersburg and Chicago."

Evelyn Horn's notes: Dr. Price was a poet. Sister Ada was assistant
postmaster. They lived down the river west of the Koreshan home. House called the "Ammity." The married couples had to live away from the Communal home. Dr. Price lived a very private life down the river.

As a young girl, I remember him lecturing at the Sunday evening performances at the Art Hall. He taught Dr. Teed's theory on the doctrine. He, also, was very witty and often recited his poetry.
