Seth Johnson — Priesthood Healing of a Dying Child

During his tenure as Bishop of the Escalante Ward, Seth Johnson was frequently called to the bedsides of the sick in the isolated pioneer community. In one specific instance recorded in his family history, he was summoned to administer to a child who was believed by the family and neighbors to be in the final moments of life. Johnson, acting with priesthood authority, laid his hands upon the child and rebuked the illness. The child reportedly experienced an immediate and visible recovery, eventually returning to full health. This event was documented as a significant faith-promoting incident for the early residents of the Cotton Mission era.
