The Religio-Philosophical Journal

Prominent American Spiritualistic weekly founded in 1865 in Chicago. Its founder and publisher, Stevens J. Jones, was murdered in 1877. His son-in-law, Col. J. C. Bundy, assumed charge. Successive editors were M. E. Bundy, B. F. Underwood, and T. G. Newan. In the 1890s the Journal moved to San Francisco and a new series (vols. 34-42) began. The publication of this long-running periodical ceased on April 22, 1905. It was superseded briefly by The Mountain Pine (1906-1908).
