MARCH 4, Mrs. A. L. Camphausen and Mis,s Elin Lindberg of Fort Myers and Mrs. Edith J ohnson of Minneapolis, Minnesota, were calling on Unity friend,s. Considerable interest and excit.ement was manifest on March 4, when Mr. Geo. Simpson displayed a sevenfoot alligator he had captured alive near Estero, which was taken to the aI)imal zoo in our neighborhood town, Bonita Springs. Mrs. Ruth Boomer Thomas of Philadelphia, Mrs. J ennie Campbell and Mrs. Edith Trebell, of Estero, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Phillips and daughter Miss Marie, and Messrs Robert and Lloyd Graham of Miami were Unity dinner guests on March 5. The dining room was prettily decorated with lillies from the Unity Gardens. Our Miami friends were visiting their mother and sister, Sisters Ella and Florence Graham. Brother Henry Silverfriend returned Monday, the sixth from a week-end visit with Dr. John J. Heitz of Orlando, Florida. March 10, our friend Mrs. Edith John,son, of Minneapolis, and her companion, Mrs. Elmer Scharf, were Unity dinner guests. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Simpson departed for their northern home March 10. They have spent three seasons in Estero and we shall m,iss their genial presence. On March 11, Mrs. Marie McConnell and Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano, of Tampa arrived to spend the weekend with Unity friends and their parents, Sister Abbie and Brother Wm. McCready. Miss Elin Lindberg died March 13 at her home in Fort Myers. Mrs. A. L. Camphausen accompanied the remains to Duluth, Minnesota, for interment. She and Mrs. Camphausen operated the Unity Rustic Tea Garden for a number of years, making it a very attractive place, both inside and the surrrounding grounds. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Pulcifer and granddaughter, Miss Sarah Ann Andrews, of Fort Myers Beach with their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Fisher, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, were calling on Unity friends Wednesday and visiting the Park grounds. They greatly enjoyed picking and eating fresh, luscious, black mulberries from the trees. March 17, Miss Cecil Hamilton, Principal of the Gwynn Institute School of Fort Myers" called on Unity friends. Miss Hamilton's uncle, Brother Lou Staton, accompanied her and her party of friends to Bonita Beach for a pleasant afternoon. The fresh mulberry shortcake and pie, made by Sisters Emily Bessemer and Ida Fischer has been highly appreciated. Many thanks to them and to Sisters Charlotte Montenegro and Maude Brown, who are the champion mulberry gatherers. Brothers Theodore Naeselius, Roger Perry and Allen Andrews motored to Avon Park and Sebring March 20, where they attended the annual meeting of the Highlands Hammock Board. They visited the CCC Camp near Sebring, being dinner guests through the courte$y of Lieutenant W. J. Bowers, Commanding Officer. An inspection tour was mad~ of the camp, ;;tnd they considered this one of th~ far-reaching projects Uncle Sam is doing for its future citizens. On March 22, Sister Alvera Hohanscheldt passed away being nearly 91 years of age. She was born in Rockford, Illinois, and went to San Franciseo, California, where she and her husband Henry joined the California branch of the Koreshan community in 1891. In 1892 she'and her husband came to the Koreshan community in Chicago and in 1894 came to Estero with a large group of Koreshans. Henry was later killed in a sawmill accident. Sis,ter Alvera had been confined to her room here as an invalid for a number of years. She had been in charge of the poultry farm. Miss Bertie Boomer, of Fort Myers, made the Unity a visit on March 23. Owing to the unusually dry weather, on March 23 another woods fire west of E~tero had to be desperately fought by all available brothers before it could be extinguished. Brothers. Arthur Moore and Albert J acobs are making great improvements in the Park grounds by clearing away, dead bamboo fronds and dry grasses. The Sunday evening services are well attended by those anxious to hear the interesting readings from the writings of KORESH. , We quote the following beautiful poem published in latest issue of The American Eagle, penned by Mr. Lynn Russell, now of Tampa, Florida, who; lived for a time in the Unity, assisting on the work of The Eagle in the Printing Department
FLORIDA FEBRUARY Young, glossy leaves are on the water oaks. Mulberry ,trees miraculously lift A canopy of green and Colored F olks Now eag,erly awiait their fruited gift ; They walk beneath each tree and speculate How many days remain for them to wait New buds appear upon the barren limbs Of chinaberry trees. Bauhinias Burst forth in white and wrple bloom. The whims Of ev,ery plant is seen. Azaleas And marigolM lend beauty to .each home, While lupines catch the blue of Heaven's,dome. A February day when Nature smiles Means blithesome journys down entrancing aisles.
