THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Marie Fischer.

FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready: Conrad and Marie Fischer; "These were brother and sister. En route to one of my visits, I was on the Victoria with Marie when she came to join and remember that she was suffering from pleurisy at the time so sat bundled up and very quite. Later I learned to know her quite well and always admired her outspoken independence. She left to marry a man some called "The Tramp" because he was supposed to have been a wanderer. They operated a chicken farm near some Florida town, but later divorced, I was told."
