Hannah Louisa Terry — Miraculous Recovery from Rattlesnake Bite

As a young girl living in the remote settlement of Hebron in Utah's Dixie, Hannah Louisa Terry was bitten by a rattlesnake on her foot. In the isolated pioneer community, medical help was unavailable. Her father, Thomas Sirls Terry, a prominent leader in the Cotton Mission, was called to her side. Exercising his faith, he administered a priesthood blessing to his daughter. According to family records and the DUP manuscript, the life-threatening swelling and the effects of the venom were immediately stayed. Hannah made a full and rapid recovery, which the family attributed to divine intervention and the power of the priesthood.
