Reynolds Man’s Funeral Conducted by Spiritualist Medium.

The funeral of John A. Batson, whose death occurred at Reynolds last Wednesday, was conducted Friday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock at Reynolds. The funeral service was performed by a lady spiritualist medium from Chicago, Mr. Batson having been very strong in that belief. The Masonic fraternity of Monticello had charge of the service, going to Reynolds by automobile. The unusual Service for Mr. Batson attracted a great deal of attention at Reynolds and the funeral was one of the largest ever held in that part of the county.
