Yesterday’s answer:
c. Their
father who had passed away previously
The following is in
reference to a spiritual manifestation that the Ashby family received shortly
after the death of the father to the Ashby family. They were crossing Iowa when
the following experience takes place.
The next day we started and when we came in sight of the Missouri River
there was many roads leading off in different directions. Not knowing which to
take, we stopped to consult when I looked up and saw a man walking up one of
the roads. I told mother that I would run and ask this man and started to run
to him. He was a short man like my father, and indeed he was dressed in a green
jacket like father used to wear in Nauvoo. The last I saw of him he was
apparently going down a depression which looked like it had been made by a run
of water across the road. Mother hollered to me, “Where are you going Ben?” And
I turned and said I going to ask this man and when I turned again there was no
man in sight. I run on quite a distance thinking he had gone down the hill and
though I went considerable distance farther than he was when I saw him last,
the road was level was a floor with no depression in it I went back with the
impression than he had got out of sight up the road, and though he looked like
father it did not occur to my mind that my father was watching over us but I
noticed that mother became very serious when I described the personage that I
had seen after I returned to the wagon. However, we took the road and arrived
at Kanesville about four o’ clock.
