Work in Progress[edit]

This stub is in place while I gather cites and can put it together.

Thanks[edit]

Thanks to those who worked on this. I had planned to do it but was disgruntled with it being tagged for speedy deletion after just starting it. I was planning to get back to it but since I forgot to mark it I forgot to get back to it. jswfl09 (talk) 21:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Damkohler and Teed[edit]

Chicago was not Damkohler's "hometown" and he didn't go there in 1894 to meet with Teed.

Damkohler was from Germany, had spent time mining in Australia and farming in Missouri before moving to Florida.

Teed had gone from Chicago to St James City, FL in 1893 to try to buy a partially completed hotel. He couldn't make a deal, but gave some lectures in nearby Ft Myers and left some copies of his newspaper, The Flaming Sword.

Damkohler got a copy of the Flaming Sword on a trip to Ft Myers for supplies. He liked what he read and sent Teed a letter offering his property. Teed and several followers went to Estero in late December 1893 and made a deal. Damkohler eventually joined the Koreshans for a while, but eventually became disillusioned and left the group.

He died in Alaska a few years later.

For the comprehensive story of Damkohler, Teed, and the Koreshans, I recommend Lyn Milner's "Allure of Immortality". Cjszeliga (talk) 18:28, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
