Huge old spiritual work by Mary Theresa Shelhamer

Post by Geoff »

Many years ago I came across the work of M.T. Shelhamer, (Life and labor in the Spirit World) but this was via a pdf of scanned page images, and it had not been OCR'd. Recently when I had occasion to refer someone to information on babies and children after death, I found that I had OCR'd three chapters of her work on that subject, and they were really good, especially as finally a location for these young ones was provided in the Spirit Spheres - namely in Summerland.

So I started looking on line and this work has been picked up by a "reprint" specialist by the means of just reprinting page images. And someone created a Kindle based on page images. Both very ugly but still selling for a fair amount. Amazingly I also found the original book available in Australia for $80, and was tempted to buy it. After all it was printed in 1885. A few years back I would have bought it without hesitation. And maybe I will because I find it very tedious reading these scanned page images. But my reason for posting is that I am wondering if I might consider OCRing the book. It would be a lot of work, but maybe its worth it. I certainly thought the three chapters on children were

I decided to buy that First Edition. It's going to be easier to read, so it's worth it for that. Its the ONLY one I have ever found for sale, and getting it in Australia is a bonus.

Hi Geoff,

Can we put the following summary into the next newsletter?

"Geoff Cutler created a 25-page PDF book from three chapters of M.T. Shelhamer’s channelled work, Life and Labor in the Spirit World (published in 1885). The excerpt contains information on babies and children after death and describes Summerland, where these youngsters live during their childhood. For more background, go here.


I am linking the PDF to where it can be downloaded and the background to the above post. My links didn't reproduce here!

Please let me know if you are OK with it or would like some changes.

Love,
Eva

Dear Eva,

Sure.

By the way I inserted the link for you in your post above. If you intended to hyperlink in a pdf document that will work fine.
