If you Google Josiah Willbarger, you will see the photo I used in Google commons. When I looked to identify the precise source, my article was listed.

Just because there is no scientific or logical explanation for how his dead sister came to Wilbarger and also Sarah does not mean it didn't happen. Obviously it did, which shows how powerful the human soul can be. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it. - AshleyAshley Kath-Bilskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073164133698225798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-7790814339248222022011-06-27T22:03:06.482-05:002011-06-27T22:03:06.482-05:00What a great post.Those pioneers were tough people...What a great post.Those pioneers were tough people. <br />Can you imagine the whining people of today enduring what they did.

I admit I will tune into the TV shows about paranormal teens, adults, historical stuff etc. I recently saw a show with a paranormal teen who'd never been inside Lizzy Bordon's childhood home and when she entered the bedroom where her step-mother had been murdered, the teen said the killer was a man...and came to learn the step-mother's brother or brother-in-law was one of the suspects in the murder because he had a bad relationship with the family...makes me wonder....Marin Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337817734094294896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-72080382321331568622011-06-27T06:04:51.203-05:002011-06-27T06:04:51.203-05:00Wow Caroline, what an incredible story, it gave me...Wow Caroline, what an incredible story, it gave me goosebumps.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />MargaretMargaret Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123830410502520003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-33745126061721159702011-06-26T23:26:02.591-05:002011-06-26T23:26:02.591-05:00Fascinating story.

My mother, grandmother, uncle, and an aunt "visited" me in the hospital in 2005. They didn't say anything, but stood at the end of the bed in ICU and smiled at me. They are all on "the other side of eternity." That happened during the time I was unconscious for 10 days.Joyce Hendersonhttp://www.joychendersonauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-27011915047407370802011-06-26T16:46:40.795-05:002011-06-26T16:46:40.795-05:00Wonderful story.

Caroline, I have a vague recollection of this, so I'm very happy to read the entire account.I cannot imagine what so many of our citizens went through to settle Texas in the face of the Comanche. You know I admire the Comanche to some extent. They had their reasons and ways, just as all other human beings do. <br />I'm not a pure believe in ghosts or visions, but I don't discount them either. Haven't we all had "feelings" something would happen, and perhaps it did?<br />Thanks for this wonderful tale--I truly enjoyed it.<br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-89269484368282034912011-06-26T15:44:25.942-05:002011-06-26T15:44:25.942-05:00Fascinating!
