William Lang — Miraculous Healing of Daughter Mary Ann

In the early years of the St. George settlement, William Lang's daughter, Mary Ann, fell dangerously ill. With the limited medical resources available in the remote 'Dixie' mission, the family's situation became desperate as her condition worsened. William Lang, a man of deep faith and a shoemaker by trade, sought the administration of the priesthood for his daughter. According to the family history submitted to the DUP, through the power of the priesthood and the prayer of faith, Mary Ann experienced a sudden and complete recovery after doctors or local observers had given up hope for her survival. This event was recorded as a foundational miracle for the Lang family, confirming their decision to remain in the difficult Southern Utah territory.
