SPOKE HIS OWN FUNERAL SERMON THROUGH MEDIUM Mrs. Cora Kincannon Smith, Once Re- siding Here, Officiated at a Re- markable Service. - Spokane, Wash., May 20.—(Spec- ial to Pioneer.)—Charles Frisby, who died in Spokane a few days ago, deIivered‘ his own funeral ser- mon through Mrs. Cora Kincannon Smith, a medium, in Spiritualists’ hall, 810%% Riverside avenue, who said that the words were those the spirit put into her mouth. After telling his relatives not to sorrow over his departure the spirit of Frisby said through the medium: “I can not tell you of pearly gates or streets of gold, because everything here is much as it was on the other sphere, only more beautiful. Everything is tangible and, better than that, it is everlasting. We have books here to read, music, paintings and everything that we enjoyed on earth. “Over here you can have what- ever you desire. If you are fond of 03 | housework, here you will have a little house to take care of. If music was your pleasure, there will be heavenly music, and you can continue your studies along any line you wish.” There were no mourners at the funeral, and after the musicians had played “Nearer, My- God ro Thee,” iit was announced by Mrs. Smith that the spirit desired lighter music, such as “Shall We Gather at the River?” “In the Sweet Bye and Bye,” “‘Way Down Upon the Suwanee River” and “Scatter Seeds of Kindness.” People of Bemidli will . remember Mrs. Cora Kincannon Smith, re- ferred to above. She formerly lived here and was the wife of the late Ted Smith, who was the first mayor of Bemidji and who conducted the “Three Guardsmen,” a local saloon.
