Edgar Cayce's reading during 1902-1903 in Hopkinsville,
Kentucky, conducted by Mr. Al C. Layne - Excerpt from
Edgar Cayce's diary [Dictated to GD in summer of 1932]:
During this same period a Mr. Stowe requested a reading for
his wife, giving her name as Mrs. H. Stowe. It was said by
those present that the reply came, "There are several here -
which one?" Then her address was given (for he had been
married several times), and the reply came that she had only
a few days to live - complications of some kind.
No stenographic reports were kept of these readings for
the first few years, and then only spasmodically where
individual cases were taken down to be verified for records.
Practically always some individual was present other than the
one conducting the reading.
GD's note: I believe this was the first indication in a
reading that Edgar Cayce's subconscious was aware of those
who had passed on. Evidently the husband's initial was used
instead of the woman's given name, or else she and the former
deceased wife had the same initial.
