On another occasion about this time, a sister of the church was severely afflicted. So her sister sent for me, to nurse and try to quiet her, as she was very hysterical. But when I arrived I observed it was an evil spirit tormenting her. I advised her sister to send for the elders to administer to her. When they commanded the evil spirit to depart, a kitten that had sat on the bed near her head, instantly gave a jump towards me and alighted on my knees. I was possessed by the evil spirit from the knees down. I could not move my body. So I prayed to God for aid, by whose assistance I was able to throw the kitten from me, and dispossess my legs of the evil spirit. She immediately recovered, but the kitten died, just as the swine likely did into which the devils entered. Following this, in the year 1899, just prior to our departure from the State of Michigan, to the land of Zion—Missouri—I received a vision of the country around Far West, MO. As the hills appeared to my vision, a guide who stood by me asked me if I knew what they represented. I answered, "No." He said, "Look again." I did, and saw a large multitude people coming over them, all dressed like farmers; some appeared to be very poor, being represented by all ages. The guide asked me if I understood what that meant. I answered, "No." He said, "This is the resurrection; these people have purchased their land with their own money and in the resurrection this is theirs, and their inheritance; you have no right here, you must go back out of here." I saw the justice of it and was perfectly willing to back out.

In fulfillment of the vision we arrived at a town named Hamilton, MO, residing there a short time. My husband contemplated buying a farm in Kingston, MO, but fund nothing which pleased him. Moreover, God continued to displease us and finally led us to Kansas City, at which place we now live.
