Reynolds Cahoon — Healing from Severe Illness in Kirtland

During the construction of the Kirtland Temple, Reynolds Cahoon became dangerously ill with a fever that threatened his life. According to family biographical sketches, he requested the elders of the Church to administer to him. Through the laying on of hands and the prayer of faith, he experienced a sudden and complete recovery, which he and his family attributed to the power of the priesthood. This restoration allowed him to continue his vital role as a member of the temple building committee during a critical phase of construction.
