| Heals infirm lady |
|
[August 1831 after Joseph and
company returned to Ohio] many mighty
miracles were wrought by the Elders—one in particular which I shall
here notice—which was wrought by Elders Emer Harris Joseph
Brackeberry and Wheeler Baldwin. Is
[about] an infirmity in an old lady who had been helpless for the space
of eight years confined to her bed. she did not belong to this church but
sent her request to the Elders who immediately attended to her call, and
after their arrival praid for her and laids their hands on her, and she
was immediately made whole and magnified and praised God. and is now enjoying
perfect health |
