Edward Patridge recorded that Eliza "sees by the help of a stone."
Edward Partridge, Journal, Vol. 2 [Jan. 1835-Jan. 1836], 27 Dec. 1835, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, MSS SC 544
I was told by a young girl that she saw my wife and five children, apparently well, the little boy lying on the floor or hearth, she also said that she saw a little dark haired girl at and with Peter Whitmer’s family. The description answered for my Eliza very well as to size, etc. This girl sees by the help of a stone. She told me she saw a seer’s stone for me. It was a small blue stone with a hole in one corner, that it was 6 or 8 feet in the ground, not far from the lake shore, a little west of Buffalo on a hill, a tree growing near the spot. I think she said it was near the point of a hill.
