I had only been "doing" genealogy for a few months and was in touch with my oldest living relative, a cousin of my late mother's who is in her late 80's. In asking about the family she had mentioned a few things, and then said in a letter that she knew nothing else and was sorry but she didn't have any newspaper clippings or pictures to share with me. I thought nothing more of it, until one night I had a very explicit dream in which I was told clearly, that I would receive a manila envelope full of pictures and in it would be a picture of a pretty woman who, although she had a large nose, had the palest, whitest most beautiful complexion, which smelled of a nice face powder, and who was extrememly kind and gentle.I didn't mention this to my husband although it was such a vivid dream I couldn't shake it. In the mail that day was a letter from my elderly cousin who told me she was sending, by separate mail, some original pictures (taken in the 1800's) of some of the family. An hour later, a manila envelope arrived with pictures of family members..some of whom I hadn't even known about, and none of whom I had ever seen. One of the last pictures I looked at was of a small, pleasant faced woman,very pale complexion with a large nose, but beautiful dark eyes, who is my greatgrandmother Barbara Eshelman Miller. I feel as if she directed the work from "afar" and is now pleased that she and her children and brother and sister are now remembered.
