She suffered intense agony and a sleepless night, not expecting herself
to survive; was pale and haggard in the morning, and scarcely able to be
up. She told her friends and family about the matter in detail, even to
the writing of a letter by the lieutenant informing them. She gave the
contents of the letter before it was written. This was on Tuesday night
and following morning. The next Sunday Mrs D. was visiting six miles
from Ionia, and during the day a messenger came bringing a letter, which
John Dexter had just received from the lieutenant of the Third Michigan
Cavalry, giving particulars of his brother Albert’s death while engaged
in action the previous Tuesday, confirming in every detail what Mrs. D.
had seen and told; and farther, she felt or saw the messenger with the
letter while yet far from the house, and told him what he had, and gave
the contents of the letter, assuring him that it was no news to her.
Another brother, James, enlisted and went to the war, and one evening as
Mrs. D. was in bed and Mr. D. was reading, they both heard plainly the
report of a pistol (or what seemed to them such), and Mrs. D. saw Albert
and James come in and fall near her bed, and told Mr. D. that James was
dead, which was fully confirmed by letter in about two weeks.
THE ASSASSINATION OF GARFIELD PREDICTED.--The assassination of Garfield
was foretold by many sensitives, for that great event seemed to cast a
strong shadow before it. Several of these prophecies have been published
since the event, and consequently have lost their weight as evidence,
while others had been widely published before the terrible tragedy. The
following rests on the integrity of S. Bigelow, and is unquestionably
true.
A gentleman in Cleveland, O., well known there, saw and knew that
Garfield would be assassinated long before he left his quiet Mentor
home, and was so oppressed with the knowledge that he told Mayor Rose
and Dr. Streator, two very prominent and wealthy friends of Garfield,
and both active politicians as well, and they conferred with others, and
finally wrote to Garfield about it; but the sensitive, in the meantime,
felt impelled to do something, and that he must go and see Garfield and
warn him, but being a stranger and in humble circumstances he thought he
could not go; but he could get no peace until he did, and finally
plucked up courage to undertake the, to him, dreaded mission, and went
alone and sad, to Mentor. Garfield met him in person (not by secretary
as he did others) at the door, and greeted him cordially, and thus
enabled him to overcome his embarrassment in a measure, and to talk
freely, which he did, and as a consequence Garfield’s bed was moved from
his bedroom on the lower floor to the chamber.
This precaution prevented the crime for a time, which was ripe for
execution. The same gentleman felt impelled to go to Washington with the
fateful vision, but was prevented from going, and thus unwarned,
Garfield met his death.
