Evelyn Horn's notes: Ida Fischer
Sister Ida came to the Koreshan Unity in Estero in 1907 with her family. Husband, Emil and three children: Erwin and Arnold Fischer, one daughter, Mildred Barager, who lives in Seattle, Washington. Emil died at the Unity after only a few years here. Arnold, died a young man in his 20's, after a rattlesnake bite on a hunting trip in the everglades. Erwin grew up in the Unity and became a commercial fisherman, married a local girl, Bessie Johnson, and they had six children. They lived at Lover's Key Island, in the Estero Bay.

FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events, Vol.59, No.6, June 1945, p.10: Mildred (Mrs. Barager) was brought into the Unity by her parents in 1907, when a very young child, and together with her two brothers, Erwin and Arnold, grew up in the Unity. In time the two boys left to make their homes elsewhere. Erwin joined the navy and for a number of years followed the sea. At the expiration of his enlistment he came back to Florida and engaged in commercial fishing, but is now interested in a Shell Factory at Bonita Springs. Arnold remained in the vicinity and also became a fisherman, but while out hunting in the woods he was bitten by a rattlesnake and died from the effects of its deadly poison.
