Item ID:
4—054 to 4—057
Notes:
See 1—029 —— The back of 4—056 has some writing on it. The picture was cut and much of the writing was lost. The name "Victor" is legible, however. Note on the back of 1—029 is written, "Victor L. Bubbett". The resemblance is the same, so it believed that The boy and girl in 4—055 and 4—056 are the son (Victor) and daughter of LeRoy H. Bubbett.

FLAMING SWORD — Community Current Events by D. J. Richards, December 1936: "On Saturday morning, October 31, the Unity received a telegram from Mr. Leroy H. Bubbett, our representative in Winnetka Ill., to the effect that he would
arrive in Fort Myers that morning and for someone to meet him. We did, but it
was most evident that Leroy was not long for this world, for he arrived completely exhausted and a very sick man indeed. The end came the following
Tuesday, November 3, at 3:30 p.m. Brother Roy, as he was familiarly known to
us, was one of the early pioneers of the Koreshan movement in Chicago, coming
into the home when a lad with his parents, Brother James and Sister Evelyn
Bubbett. He performed much valuable service in those early days and since, and was ready at all times to champion the Cause of Koreshanity. He is survived by his wife and daughter, who reside at Winnetka; a son at Birmingham, Alabama, and his brother, Laurence Bubbett, of Estero. His son, VICTOR BUBBETT, arrived in Estero Thursday morning following his father's demise, and left the next day for Winnetka."
