A PARTY consisting of Sisters Rose Gilbert, Emily Bessemer, and Emma Norton, and Brothers David Richards and Franklin Jacke made a visit to Everglades recently. Sister Rose Gilbert remained to visit with her sister, Mrs. Frank S. Lewis, for a few days, the rest of the party returning to Estero the same day. Word reaches us of the sudden death, of Carl Jackson, recently of Paisley, Florida, and at one time connected with the Koreshan movement in Chicago in the early days. Mr. Jackson was active in organization work among .colored people up to the time of his death. Recent heavy rains have helped considerably to keep the thermometer down during the day and to cool the air at night. The rain has .also helped to freshen the vegetation which had been showing the effects of the dry weather of last month. A beach party at Bonita Beach was enjoyed by Sisters Etta Silverfriend, Barbara Ehrisman, and Brothers Alfred Christensen and Henry Silverfriend. Recent guests and visitors were Mrs. Jeannie Miller, Miss Lydia Pierce, Miss Clara Angell, Mrs. J. Litchfield, Dr. Myrtle Seller, Dr. and Mrs. F. Lamb and son, Mr. P. B. Bisbing, Miss Genevieve Bisbing, Miss Meta Monsees, Miss Hattie Englert, Miss Celia Stavely, Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Rasmussen, all of Fort Myers; George R. Hilty .and Ernest F. Coe, of Miami; Henry and Floyd Moreland, of Alva; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Peace, of Buckingham; Mrs. James Newcomb and daughters, Olive and Margaret, and Miss Inez Magill, of LaBelle, and Ward Stockham, of Palmdale, Florida. Brother Alien Andrews motored to Sarasota in the interest of The Better Government League, of which he is an active member. Brother Laurence Bubbett returned after an ab• sence of two months in Tampa, where he visited with Mr. and Mrs. Claude Rahn. Mrs. Rahn, his sister, has been ill and has gone to Muscatine, Iowa, for her: health. A record crop of mangoes has afforded a generous supply of this delicious fruit to our members. Avocados and guavas are ripening on the trees and will be a welcome addition to our diet. It is with sorrow that we report the passing of Sister Esther Stotler early Sunday morning, August 7. Sister Esther became .a member of the Unity in Chicago in 1893. The following year she came to Estero with the first large party to settle here, remaining here at the Unity up to the time of her death. As the result of a fall, Sister Esther had her hip broken some four and a half years ago and was an invalid since that accident, being confined to her room a greater part of the time. A few days before her passing, she took suddenly ill and grew steadily worse. Sister Esther is survived by her sister, Mrs. Henry Preston, of Los Angeles, California. She was a cousin of Andrew D; Mellon, late secretary of the United States Treasury. She was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in October, 1852. She married Emanuel Stotler, going to Kansas City, where she lived until Mr. Stotler's death about eight years later. She returned to Pittsburg and subsequently became interested in the teachings of KORESH. Sister Esther's services to the cause were invaluable and will be long remembered. Sister Tacey Weaver, Misses Genevieve Bisbing and Meta Monsees, and Brother Conrad Schlender and the writer enjoyed a beach party at Naples, on the Gulf. Wade Stephens, who went to Tampa for a visit of two weeks with relatives, has returned. The oven in the Unity bakery is undergoing repairs. Brother Stephen Chislett is doing the work in quick order. Brothers Alien Andrews, Alfred Christensen and John Watson drove to Tampa and returned the same day. The trip was made to obtain some electrical equipment for the light plant. Brother Jesse Putnam, accompanied by Sisters Barbara Ehrisman, Ella Graham and Miss Tina Boutware, drove to Miami, Sunday, August 6. Sister Rose Gilbert went with them to Everglades to visit her sister. The party returned from Miami on Monday, bringing Sister Florence Graham, who had been visiting relatives in Miami for several weeks. Dr. and Sister Ada Price received a visit of several days from Mrs. Earl Daniels and daughter, Josephine, of Stuart, Florida, her nieces, Dorothy and Katherine Moeller, and nephew, Max Moeller, of Miami. The party seemed to enjoy the visit here; they also visited the beach at Estero Island for a day. Later the party enjoyed a boat trip across Estero Bay to Sanibel Island and return. Brother John Sargent, who is still indisposed and unable to be about, is holding his own and we expect to see him up and around in a short time. In spite of his illness, Brother John has been able to contribute an article to his regular department in THE SWORD. His article in the current issue strikes us as exceptionally good, and most timely. More power to him. An unusual number of tourists lately passed through here on the way to Miami. On inquiry we learned they were bound for Cuba. Because of the attractive fares, travel to Cuba is quite popular. The Tamiami Trail is the direct West Coast route to Cuba for those driving their own cars. Mr. Ward Stockham of Palmdale, Florida, who visited the Unity on several occasions, has decided to cast his lot with us. He became deeply interested in the scientific phase of Koreshan Universology and is eager to learn all he can about it.
