Vision of Thos. S. Brown's daughter regarding the arrival of the Elders

“I will relate a circumstance which occurred in Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, in the month of October, 1883. I was then a resident of that place, and had been for many years. I had been a judge in that county, and was well known to the people. About two weeks before the arrival of the Elders in our town, a daughter of mine, about fourteen years of age, had a dream or vision, in which she saw some men preaching; and a voice told her that they were servants of the true and living God, and had come to open the door of salvation to them and to that State. She noticed one of the men in particular—the narrator. She noticed his hair, beard, clothing and walking stick. She told the dream to the family, and it was talked of by us as a very strange thing. When the Elders arrived, I went to hear them, and was forcibly reminded of my daughter's dream, and I accordingly came to both of our meetings. I was convinced of the truth of their message. As we came up, the girl who had the dream identified us as the men she saw in her dream, and, pointing to me, she exclaimed: 'Oh pa! that is the old man! his black hair, grey clothes; oh yes, and his cane, all just as I saw them!'”
