Elder C. H. Wheelock returned to his father's house in Jefferson County, New York, to visit his kindred. Upon arrival, his father informed him that he had dreamed of him and his coming a few nights before it occurred, confirming a previous promise in a blessing Wheelock had received in Liverpool.
In Their Own Words
“I had scarcely been an hour at home, when my father informed me he had been dreaming of me and of my coming, some few nights before my arrival. I told him that, in the blessing you pronounced upon my head the night before I left Liverpool, you promised that such should be the case, that the Spirit should go before me in dreams, and apprise my kindred of my coming. This declaration seemed much to interest and to deeply affect my father, and other members of the family.— Millennial Star 15:20”
