• Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch Sally Olivia Williams Journeycake was an interpreter for the Methodist missionaries among the Wyandotte indian tribes. In 1827, while on a hunting trip in the forest with her husband and other Delawares, she fell ill and fell into a trance for several hours. The Indians feared she was dead or dying. After many hours in that state, she awoke, praising God, who she said had appeared to her and saved her soul. It was said that she treated all with great kindness and manifested a beautiful Christian spirit and won for her the respect of the tribe. The influence of her life made a deep impression on her children and also upon the Indians. It was her Christian influence that made possible the resumption of Christian missions in 1829 among the Delawares in Kansas. Harry M. Roark states in his book "Charles Journeycake, Indian Statesman and Christian Leader" in Chapter 3, he states about Sally Journeycake, that "The highest possible tribute is due this pious Indian mother, for her faith in and love for God far exceeded that of the average Christian, in her day or any day. Her faithful and loyal Christian life, which had to be lived alone, no doubt played a large part in molding the stalwart character of Charles Journeycake".
