Near Death Experience of Lorenzo Dow Young (1828) brother of Brigham Young
While at Watertown, I married, and afterwards removed to Mendon, Monroe County. At this place I had a remarkable dream or vision. I fancied that I died. In a moment I was out of the body, and fully conscious that I had made the change. At once, a heavenly messenger, or guide, was by me. I thought and acted as naturally as I had done in the body, and all my sensations seemed as complete without as with it. The personage with me was dressed in the purest white. For a short time I remained in the room where my body lay. My sister Fanny (who was living with me when I had this dream and my wife were weeping bitterly over my death. I sympathized with them deeply in their sorrow, and desired to comfort them. I realized that I was under the control of the man who was by me. I begged of him the privilege of speaking to them, but he said he could not grant it. My guide, for so I will call him, said "Now let us go."

The account is taken from the book In Search of Angels which provides a more complete description of the incident.
….. .I found myself ....... in a completely different sphere. It was beautiful beyond description and we were walking on a path.... It was a different world than this one.... As we walked along the path I noticed a profusion of flowers and trees. They were of a wider variety, and they had many more colors than on earth or maybe it was that I could see more colors than on earth, I'm not sure.
