BROTHER Arthur Moore and Mr. Walter C. Bentz took a truckload of cajeput trees and tropical plants recently to a m:an at Davie, Florida, on the cast coast, nine miles west of Fort Lauderdale.
Sister Florence Graham and Laurie W. Bubbett motored to Miami March 30. They returned the following day, bringing Brother Alien Andrews, who had been ill for the past month in Coral Gables, and under the care of Dr. E. L. Rasmussen. Walter Bentz, of Miami, also returned with them and is now associated with The American Eagle. He established the Tropical News many years ago as the first morning daily in Fort Myers.
Robert Graham and sister, Mrs. Victor Phillips, of Miami, visited us on April 10th, returning next day to Miami by way of West Palm Beach.
Brothers Lou Staton, Alien Andrews and L. W. Bubbett motored to Pahokee, April 11, to attend the Everglades Fair and the official opening of State Road 26, from South Bay to Miami.
On April llth Sister Ella Graham left for Savannah, Mo., where she will undergo medical treatment. She was accompanied by her daughter, Sister Florence Graham. Letters from Florence announce safe arrival and pleasant surroundings.
Easter Sunday, April 13, was a beautiful day; deep blue sky, soft white clouds liberally distributed, temperature mild. Perhaps the breeze was a bit too boisterous, but it was no doubt intoxicated with the fragrance of the orange blossoms, which literally filled the air. We had a goodly number of guests, at our noonday dinner, which cheered and entertained us. They were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred McConnell, Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano of Tampa; Miss Meta Monsees, Miss Bertie Boomer, Mrs. Hedwig Michel of Fort Myers; Mrs. Lillian Rugg, Mrs. Jennie Campbell, Mrs. Edith T'rebell of Estero. Bright amaryllis decorated the tables, and not, the least was the good dinner cooked by Sister Ida Fischer.
Word was received Monday morning, April 14, announcing the death of James Newcomb at LaBelle. His sister, Miss Vesta Newcorcb, hastened to LaBelle with Miss Inez Magill, who came for her. Prior to locating in LaBelle, Mr. Newcomb was for many years associated with the Unity in Chicago and Estero. He will be missed by many old friends here. He is survived by his widow and two married daughters, one living in Louisiana and the other in Stuart, Florida.
Edward Koester, Jr., wife and son, of Jacksonville, were in Estero, Tuesday, April 15, with their mother, Mrs. James Newcomb, calling on old friends at the Unity.
Brother Lou Staton visited some relatives residing in Fort Lauderdale, April 18, going by way of Miami,with Brother Alien Andrews. Both returned on April 21.
Mr. and Mrs. P. N. Rugg, after spending the past winter in Estero and Naples, left April 22, for their home in Durango, Colo. Mrs. Rugg is a niece of Mrs. Jennie Campbell.
Dr. and Mrs. Parsons and daughter, of Scituate, Mass., were in Estero, April 22, enroute to their north ern home. They have just purchased the Robert L. Graham grove on the Tamiami Trail, opposite the L.M. Boomer property.
Miss Marie Fischer has disposed of her property in Riviera, Florida, and come to make her home in the Koreshan Unity. She was with us previous to 1924, helping in the printing office and clerking in the general store. She is a sister of Brother William Fischer, who died here in 1938.
Brother Alien Andrews while confined to his room, convalescing from illness, wrote a brief history of The Koreshan Unity to be read at a meeting of the Florida Historical Society in Coral Gables, Florida, Friday, March 28. We quote:
"Dr. Cyrus R. Teed was born October 18, 1839, in the little settlement of Teedville, N. Y., later renamed Trout Creek. His father being a farmer and grist mill operator, Dr. Teed's early life was. spent in rural sur roundings, where he acquired such rudimentary educa tion as the country schools afforded. He early evinced a liking for the medical profession and studied for a time with his uncle, a practicing physician in Utica, N.Y., later graduating from a New York medical college. Serving as a surgeon throughout the Civil War, he pursued the practice of medicine in various localities of his home state.
"Being of an inquiring turn of mind, Dr. Teed was always seeking the answer to problems that no one could solve for him. In the winter of 186970 he entered upon a lengthy period of research during which he became skeptical for the time being as to the truth of the Bible. It later occurred to him to make an equally thorough investigation of modern science, which led him to conclude the Copernican system of astronomy to be false, based as it is on hypothesis, or g'uesswork. Later it dawned on him that all life de velops from cellular forms or conditions, and, as there is uniformity in nature, life in the aggregate, or the universe itself, must conform to this same general law. Hence the discovery of the Cellular Cosmogony, which holds the earth to be a concave sphere 25,000 miles in circumference, with sun, moon and stars all contained within. In later years he organized a geodetic expedi tion to the Gulf coast of Florida which with scientific equipment corroborated the discovery he had originally made through analogical reasoning."
