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.
