Ships daily.<br><br>The report discusses the overwhelming number of "idiots" in Massachusetts likening the situation to that of Connecticut; in both cases the Superintendent shows the State governments were not doing enough for these people and private institutions such as the Retreat do not have the capacity to house them all. As an example of State aid for the idiotic and insane the Superintendent tells the story of a boy who "became a violent maniac". His family fell into poverty and could not care for him so the State took him in placing him in a barn with the other local paupers. After a number of years he became demented and could no longer walk. After the Retreat took him in and he was exposed to comfort and real help he was "always cheerful and docile" a result of being well cared for.

"In the Spring of 1841 he again started for the West leaving his family at home. In July of that year his wife and two sons followed him but the vessel in which they embarked came near being lost on Lake Michigan. Eben who was at that time in Chicago receiving a vision showing their peril started the next day on a vessel and shortly after met the one on which his wife and children were in a disabled condition. He lived a few months in Chicago during which time George a child of-two years passed to spirit-life. From this place his business led him to remove his family to Menomonee Green Bay where in the spring of 1841 his wife passed from this life leaving an infant. This infant with the boy Edwin Eben brought home. I was then married living in Mercer Co. My mother was with me but father had passed to the Spirit-world in 1844. Eben felt impressed that the youngest child would not abide Iong on earth. Starting on his return to business the vessel upon which he took passage was wrecked near Milwaukee Wis. and many lives were lost. He drifted ashore in a semi-conscious condition from which he at daylight was aroused by his spirit wife who stood at his side with the infant in her arms it having passed from mycare the day before. In writing of his misfortune he said he knew the babe had passed away for Archia held it in her arms and told him she had taken it. In August 1847 he came home and in September was united in marriage with “Farmer Mary. ” In May 1850 being on a visit to his mother then living with me he informed us of the Rochester Knockings and related what he had witnessed and said: “ If this thing proves to be fact it will renovate the world. ” He continued to investigate its claims became convinced of its truth and entered upon its public advocacy. From this date the life and servicesof E. V. Wilson are well known to all Spiritualists. " Banner of Life Nov. 27 1880 ; 400p. pages; Pictured 12/22/24 . Hazlitt & Reed hardcover
