COMMUNITY CURRENT EVENTS - JUNE 1931
Dr. JOSEPH MEYER, X-ray expert from Detroit, Michigan, visited the Unity, remaining over night and attending Sunday evening service. He was pleased to be able to procure an interesting interview later with Thomas A. Edison, at Fort Myers, Florida. Brothers Allen Andrews, George Beilor and William Fischer made a trip to Alva to visit a dairy farm. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ahrano with Mr. and Mrs. Straub, of Tampa, Florida, who were returning from a motor trip to the East coast, stopped for dinner with us and to visit with Brother William and Sister Abbie McCready. Brother Alfred Graham came from Miami to spend two weeks and to oversee the placing of a well on his grove property. While here he was seized with an illness that developed into pneumonia, and it is with sorrow that we have to record his death, which occurred May 18. Robert and Lloyd Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Phillips and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Baldwin came from Miami to attend the funeral. In 1890 Brother Alfred became interested in Koreshanity and with his family moved to Chicago. Four years later he came to Florida, spending some time in Estero, and finally locating in Miami. The Graham home in Miami has always been "open house" to Brother Alfred's many Koreshan friends, who at various times have visited him and enjoyed the warm hospitality that was invariably to be found there. Of a genial arid kindly disposition, Brother Alfred left a host of friends who keenly feel his passing. Brother Theodore Naeselius has made another beautiful bamboo settee on order. It was placed on exhibition before being crated and shipped to the Purchaser at Palm Beach, Florida. Among visitors recently we note the names of Henry Moreland from Alva, Mrs. Frank Lewis from Everglades, and Roy L'Amoreaux from Estero Island. The improvement in the park grounds continues. Brothers Lou Staton and Eric Olson have been beautifying their place on the Immokalee Road. Brother Charles Faulkner has been clearing off the river bank near the printing office. George Main, Jr., of Gloversville, N. Y., spent a day or two with us. He drove back with the car his father had owned. We have been abundantly supplied this spring with luscious Surinam cherries and big juicy mulberries. The following from The American Eagle describes them fully: " A dependable fruit not to be overlooked at this time of year is the Surinam cherry which grows and bears tremendously in well drained locations and successfully withstands any low temperatures that we get here. The fruits are about the size of ordinary cherries, somewhat corrugated in shape, red in color, but nearly black when ripe. They are very tart until matured and are then of a pleasing sub-acid flavor. They are exceptionally fine when pitted and allowed to stand in sugar for a time. The fruits are greatly relished by the birds and the bushes are highly ornamental,with small, glossy leaves, the new growth being of a reddish tint. The plant is of the Eugenia family and is often incorrectly termed the' Japanese cherry. Black mulberries are now also in their prime at Estero and yield an abundance of fine fruit, sufficient for the human population and the birds also who are very fond of them. This fruit is wonderful for sauce and pies. The trees are deciduous, attain large size, and once planted you can almost forget about them, as they practically take care of themselves. They are fine for planting in poultry yards, as the hens get the benefit of the grateful shade and greatly relish the fruit. Mrs. Edith Trebell gave a party to celebrate the birthday anniversary of Wade Stephens. Drs. J. V. and Lulu McManis, accompanied by Mrs. Mae Dewitt Hamilton, all of Kirksville, Missouri, were most interesting and welcome visitors for two days. Dr. McManis and his party stopped here on their way to attend a convention of electronic physicians at Daytona Beach, Florida. Dr. J. V. McManis is a doctor of osteopathy and Chairman of the Committee of Research of the Associated Colleges of Electronic Medicine. Dr. Lulu McManis is also an osteopathic physician and is nationally known for her research work along the lines of electronic diagnosis and treatment. Dr. J. V. McManis' attention had been called to our basic premise by means of which we had demonstrated the concavity of the earth's surface and it proved to be a revelation to him in many ways in solving the problems which he had to meet in his research work. The Drs. McManis afforded us two days filled with great interest and pleasure, and we in turn were able to bring much to their attention by way of corroboration of the truth of Koreshan Universology. It was indeed a worthwhile visit for all concerned. Brother Max Arendt accompanied Dr. McManis and his party to Miami, remaining for a visit of several days. Dr. Francis A. Cave and Mrs. Ethel M. Jones, of St.Petersburg, Florida, stopped at the Unity for a brief visit, being enroute to Miami and New York City. Dr. Cave is also an authority on electronic medicine and is interested in the Koreshan premise of concavity. Miss Cecil Hamilton, Mrs. Samuel Hamilton and three little sons from Fort Myers spent a day visiting their uncle, Brother Lou Staton, as well as other friends in the Unity. They expect to leave for Illinois shortly to spend the summer there.
