Community Current Events - July 1931
The usual Sunday evening services have been held through the month with readings from our Master's valued writings. It is always cheering to see the lovely plants which are faithfully placed each time on the rostrum. Miss Alafae Stephens, daughter of Sister Cora Stephens, graduated from Edison High School in Fort Myers. She was one of a class of over seventy students. The occasion was described as one of "grandeur and solemnity" and took place in the auditorium of the Edison High School. Brothers Henry Silverfriend and Theodore Naeselius have been much occupied with the many beautiful caladiums which are now making a fine showing. They have rearranged the plants and rescued many from the rubber tree which furnished shade and which was sending its roots into each and every jar. The second floor of our bakery building has been partitioned into four sleeping rooms, each nicely finished in stucco. Our summer rains were a little dilatory about starting, but at this writing showers bountiful and of daily frequence occur. Our old friend Roy L'Amoreaux calls occasionally. Recently he brought us cantaloupes and broccoli. Ernest F. Coe, head of Tropic Everglades National Park Association, made a short isit at the Unity on his way to Tallahassee. Sister Tacy Weaver enjoyed a week's visit with her sister at Orlando, going by automobile through central Florida. Dr. J. L. Seibold, Mrs. Cora Newcomb with daughters Olive and Margaret and Miss Edna Moon, all from LaBelle, visited us and remained over to Sunday service in the Art Hall. Miss Cecil Hamilton, Mrs. Samuel Hamilton and three sons paid us a farewell visit before returning early this month to heir home in Duquoin, Illinois. Miss Hamilton is a niece of Brother Lou Staton. Sister Florence Graham spent a few weeks in Miami visiting her sister, Mrs. Victor Phillips and family and brothers Robert and Lloyd Graham. In the absence of Sister Florence, Brother Frank Rahn has been operating the linotype in our printing office. Henry Moreland and son Floyd, Mrs. Thelma Moreland and three young sons, recently spent a Sunday with us. We have been fortunate in having cantaloupes, watermelon& and tomatoes from Brother Henry's gardens in Alva. At present he has a large space filled with healthy and flourishing pineapples, all under a shelter shed which protects them from the burning sun. The fruit is about half grown. Sister Adah Price while enjoying a trip down the Estero River recently was lucky to catch some fine fish, namely, a tarpon, one jew-fish, a grouper and two snook. Sister Rose Gilbert and her sister, Mrs. Frank Lewis, postmistress at Everglades, motored to St. Petersburg to attend the Postmasters' Convention, which was held in that city May 29 and 30. A very enjoyable part of the trip was made by ferry from Piney Point to St. Petersburg It was a joint convention of postmasters, clerks and letter carriers. Their headquarters was in the Princess Martha Hotel, which is across the street from the open air postoffice. There was a fish fry at Pass-a-Grille which was much enjoyed by the guests. Mr. Thomas A. Edison, Mrs. Edison, with their son Charles and wife, took lunch at the lovely Unity Fair Tea Garden one Saturday. They were well pleased and remained two or three hours in pleasant and thoughtful conversation with the charming hostesses. It is surely a pleasure to renew old friendships and especially so when the friend and former member proves to be our Mamie Weimar, who spent several years here as a child with her father, Brother Augustus Weimar, and mother, Sister Elizabeth Weimar. Mamie is now Mrs. Charles Miller and resides in Washington, D. C. She and her husband and son Harry arrived June 20 by automobile. June 21 was a red-letter day for Sister Hattie Newcomb. Despite frailty and declining years she took the long ride to LaBelle and return to visit her son James and family and enjoyed every minute in her usual cheery way. Brothers Jesse Putnam, Frank Rahn and Walter Spooner took a three days' vacation by going over the Trail to Miami. While there they visited Robert and Lloyd Graham; also bathed in the Atlantic Ocean and found it most too cool. Many old time friends assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Campbell June 23 to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Miller. Refreshments were served. The following day the Kingfisher took Mr. and Mrs. Miller and son Harry down Estero River to the bay on a fishing trip. A number of people here went to Sarasota where an opportunity was afforded to view the newly constructed and completed art gallery on the Ringling estate which was created by John Ringling of circus fame. Many of the members have availed themselves of the privilege of viewing the two beautiful litchi trees in the grove of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Campbell. The fruit of the litchi tree is a deep red, resembling a large strawberry in general appearance. The tree is a Chinese importation and presents a most alluring and unusual sight.
