GOOD NEWS ON THE COVER

In the early fall of 1886 Dr. J.W. Westerfield called the first meeting of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists. The top picture is one of the earliest pictures of the IAOS members & mediums. While not everyone in the picture can be identified the following individuals are known. Pictured in the back row (left to right): second person-John Cunningham & fourth person-Henry Bronnenburg / front row (left to right): first person-J.V. Winkoop, third person-Dr. J.W. Westerfield, fourth person-Emily Bronnenburg & fifth person-W.C. Jessup. It is quite probable that Dr. George Hilligoss, the IAOS’ first president & Dr. L.M. Blackledge, the IAOS’ third president are also pictured.

Now, 125 years later the bottom picture shows the current resident mediums of the IAOS. Pictured in the back row (left to right): Rev. Terry Ryan, Jeremy Kaylor, Rev. Timothy Millard, Rev.
