Artimesia Snow Woolley — Premonition of Franklin B. Woolley's Death

In March 1869, Artimesia's husband, Franklin B. Woolley, was traveling from California to St. George with a wagon train of supplies for the St. George Co-op. On the night of March 14, 1869, while at her home in St. George, Artimesia experienced a profound and distressing spiritual manifestation. She described a 'terrible weight' and a 'dark cloud' that settled over her, giving her the absolute certainty that her husband had been killed. She shared this premonition with her family, maintaining her conviction despite having no physical way of knowing his status. Her spiritual impression was confirmed days later when a telegram arrived stating that Franklin had been killed by Indians near the Mojave River on that exact night while he was searching for strayed horses.
