Hannah Terry — Sustained Support in Rockville

After settling in Rockville, Utah, during the early 1860s, the Terry family faced the extreme poverty and food shortages characteristic of the 'Cotton Mission.' Freda Sharp Jones records that Hannah Terry, known for her charity, would often share her last bit of flour with neighbors who were hungrier than herself. On multiple occasions, Hannah testified that her small supply of food was miraculously sustained, lasting far longer than naturally possible, similar to the biblical widow's mite. She attributed the fact that her family never completely ran out of breadstuff during these 'starving times' to a direct blessing from the Lord in response to her generosity and prayers.
