Edward C. Randall. (1860-1935) – A prominent New York trial lawyer from Buffalo who served on the board of directors of a number of large corporations, Randall became interested in Spiritualism around 1890 following his attendance at a séance. Soon afterwards he established a “Rescue Circle” in order to help “earthbound” spirits progress. The circle comprising of Randall”s wife and some close associates including a prominent judge Dean Stuart of Rochester, sat every week for over 20 years at the Randall family home. Soon after the sittings began Randall met Emily French, a “direct voice” medium in her 60″s, also from Buffalo. Emily was from a well-known family, and had a reputation in her community as a person of integrity; she sat with the Randall”s circle for many years until she passed away in 1912. During the long and dedicated relationship she never charged a cent for her time.
