Portrait of Jacob Beilhart, founder of the Spirit Fruit Society. 1904, Cincinnati Enquirer
When you start looking, you find all kinds of things. A Utopian commune started by Jacob Beilhart moved from Libson, Ohio to Ingleside, Illinois to live their lifestyle of spiritual development and free love. For the year 1905, it was pretty scandalous to live a "free love" lifestyle and produce love bomb children, but they did it. After the founder's death, the group carried on for a bit and moved to California.
There is nothing new under the sun. What is more interesting to me involves my research of the mound builders that lived in the same area and all around Lake County. Some say there are mounds that still exist unnoticed in Ingleside, Illinois today. I'll be looking for them.
