Orange L. Wight documented a remarkable birth and preservation during intense persecution. He recorded: 'My second brother was born in Clay County while father was on a mission and the other brother in Diahman after father was taken prisoner--born when the house was surrounded by the mob.' Despite the mob surrounding the house and threatening the family, the birth was successful and the family was preserved during this terrifying ordeal.
