father
died

Because

, she
brought
her
family
to
Utah
in

suffered
many
hardships
along
the
way
, but
according
to
Louisa
, '
Through
the
faith
and
prayers
of
my
dear
mother
we
were
able
to
stand
it
all.
'
When
they
arrived
in
Salt
Lake
City
,
Louisa
spun
and
knit
to
help
her
mother
support
the
family
.
Louisa

When

One

to

ran
over
his
head
.
Louisa
took
her
sister's
place
as
cook
at the
home
station
stage
line
that they were
running
.
When

Abstract
This
collection
contains
items
relating
to
Louisa
and to her
mother
,
Sarah
Goode
Marshall
. There
is
some
discrepancy
between
the
authors
of the
collection
as to
Louisa's
first
name
. In the
autobiography
she
is
identified
as
Louise
, in the '
Faith
Promoting
Incident
'
one
of her
children
refers
to her as
Louesa
, and in
Sarah
Goode's
biography
a
grandchild
refers
to her as
Louisa
.
Two
items
in the
collection
are
about
her
specifically
. The
first
item
is
a
one-page
typewritten
autobiographical
sketch
of
Louisa's
life
written
March
12
,
1923
when
she was
73
years
old
. In the
sketch
she
recounts
the
moves
that she and her
husband
made
, and
focuses
on the
eternal
nature
of the
family
. She
notes
that
all
of her
children
,
except
two
sons
who
died
in
infancy
, were
worthy
to
go
through
the
temple
. She
closes
the
account
of her
life
with this
statement
: '
I
am
looking
forward
to the
time
of
when
we
will
all
be
reunited
again
and have
during
my
life
tried
to
live
worthy
of the
blessings
of
God
on
myself
and
family.
' The
second
item
is
entitled
'A
Faith
Promoting
Incident,
' and was
written
by
one
of
Louisa's
children
.
Louisa
was
living
in
Dayton
,
Idaho
in
1886
when
the
incident
occurred
. The
Saints
were in the
midst
of
persecution
because
of
polygamy
, and
further
, an
influenza
epidemic
was
going
through
the
community
.
Louisa
and her
mother
were
both
ill
.
One
night
,
Louisa's
husband
went
out
to
check
on her
mother
.
While
he was
gone
,
Louisa
heard
someone
at the
door
scraping
his
shoes
.
When
she
opened
her
eyes
she
saw
a
stranger
standing
in the
middle
of the
room
,
surrounded
by a
bright
light
. She
often
said
later
, '
I
have
never
in
my
life
seen
anything
to
equal
the
brightness
of that
light
.
I
could
not
move
or
speak
a
word.
' The
man
said
, '
I
have
come
to
tell
you
how
things
are
going
with the
Saints.
' At this
moment
she was
instantly
healed
, and she
began
to
pray
fervently
. Then she
started
to
sing
'
Up
Awake
Ye
Defenders
of
Zion.
' She was
joined
by
hundreds
of
voices
who
she then
led
in
singing
'
Lo
the
Lion's
Left
the
Thicket.
' In a
vision
, 'the
future
was
opened
to
me
as
far
as
my
eyes
could
see
in
every
direction.
' She
saw
people
walking
the
highway
in a
destitute
state
, and she
saw
the
White
House
and
soldiers
marching
towards
it
in
defense
of the
nation
. The
visitor
informed
her that 'in a
short
time
the
Saints
would be
granted
their
franchise
and in
time
they would
hold
the
reins
of
government.
'
Louisa
was
filled
with
happiness
and
asked
the
man
to
come
again
. He
agreed
and
left
the
room
.
