This land served as pasture for many years but of late has become overgrown with heavy growth of young cabbage palms and Napier grass..

She was a native of Illinois; had been a faithful arid valued member of the Koreshan Unity for nearly fifty years. The following poem by Lynn Russell is taken from The American Eagle June 22. BEYOND Dear Little Lady, your work is done The wind sighs low in the bamboo grass. Will you remember each rising sun Already you had your tasks begun? The wind sighs low' in the bamboo grass. Ah, it is we who are bh'nd, you know The mysteries of the Universe. Somewhere you live. ..with your eyes aglow, Seeing the things forbidden below: The mysteries of the Universe! -Lynn Russell. (In memory of Misa Barbara Ehrisman).
