This event was related to my by my grandmother sometime about 1953. She was about 80 years old then and was telling me about her life as a child. She lived in a log cabin in Jackson County, Ohio at a place called Petersburg. She was the oldest child and was left in charge of her brothers and sisters one time in the winter when her parents had to leave. Her parents were gone all day, there was snow on the ground and it was just past getting dark. Suddenly she noticed that there were two men dressed in white cloth- ing present in the cabin but the door had not opened and all the windows were still sealed. One of the men told her not to be afraid, that they were there to protect her and the children because there were bad persons nearby. In about an hour the man who did the talking said that her parents were almost home. She looked out the window to see her father with the horse and wagon. She turned back to the strangers only to find that there was no one in the room except her and the other children. She did not recognize either of the two men nor did her father or mother see anyone leave the cabin when they arrived. The other children also saw the two men. No footprints were found outside the cabin. She said she believed the two men were Angels sent by God. This happened when she was about 10 so the year would have been about 1883.
