FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready; Eleanor Castle: A brilliant, auburn-haired Irish schoolteacher who, in later life, had a home with her granddaughter Dawn up the river from the Unity.

THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by Max E. Arendt; June 1936:
"Mrs. Eleanore Castle, and granddaughter, Dawn, arrived from Chicago, Illinois, May 8, to make their home in Estero, where Mrs. Castle has purchased a home. She and Dawn are welcome additions to the community, and she should find many friends of former years to make her residence her a pleasant one."

Notes from Evelyn Horne: Eleanor Castle
"She joined the Koreshans in Chicago where she was a college professor. She wrote religious writings for Dr. Teed, and they were printed in "The Flaming Sword." Eleanor did lecturing to large groups in different halls around Chicago on Koreshan science and religion. She was a beautiful kind and loving person--a real lady.

She married and had one son. When she returned to Estero in about 1937 for her retiring years, bringing a teenage granddaughter, Dawn, she bought property and her home on the Estero River across from Koreshan friends, Jennie Campbell and Edith Trebell. Dawn attended Fort Myers Senior High School and graduated with the class of 1939. Eleanor died July 4, 1941. Dawn married at Fort Myers to Ernest Barwick and had one daughter."
