Lorenzo Wesley Roundy Jr., the son of the pioneer Lorenzo Roundy, experienced a documented instance of a 'miraculously preserved life' while living in Escalante, Garfield County, Utah. This event occurred around the time he accepted his call to serve in the Southern States Mission. While the specific physical circumstances of the accident or danger are detailed in the family's manuscript history, the event was recognized by Church contemporaries as a distinct act of divine intervention that allowed him to fulfill his missionary labors in the East Tennessee Conference from 1892 to 1894.
