THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Paul Sargent, Son of John S. Sargent and a fine artist. THE FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events by Max E. Arendt; June 1932: "Mr. Paul Sargent, who had been visiting at the Unity for several weeks, left for his home at Charleston, Illinois. He was accompanied as far as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, by Sister Cora Stephens and her daughter, Alafae, who will visit relatives there. Before his departure Mr. Sargent exhibited some of the paintings which he had partly or completely finished during his visit, much to the enjoyment of those who appreciate the high quality of his work. Needless to say, we will miss Mr. Sargent's presence and hope for visit soon again." "Paul Sargent has painted another portrait of Dr. J. R. Price, and needless to say, it is excellently done."

Flaming SWORD, Community Current Events by Adah J. Price, April 1938: "News comes to us of progress in the art world of Mr. Paul T. Sargent of Charleston, Illinois, son our our late beloved Brother John S. Sargent. Mr. Sargent had on exhibit in the Lieber Gallery of Indianapolis, Indiana, nineteen canvases. Several of Mr. Sargent's paintings are now on display in our Art Hall, which he painted in Estero several years ago when here visiting his father."

THE FLAMING SWORD, Community Current Events, Apr 1946, p. 10: "The Unity recently received news of the sudden death of Mr. Paul Sargent, son of Brother John Sargent one of the early Koreshan pioneers and writer on THE SWORD staff. Paul spent some time with us and several of his paintings are on exhibit in the Art Hall. He died sitting at his library table of heart trouble. His brother John came into the room, noticed his lamp chimney seemed to be tipping off, went to him and found Paul's spirit gone on to his new spiritual sphere."
