In the summer of 1878, Sister Singleton sent for Oliver B. Huntington to administer to her, believing she was dying due to excessive and peculiar suffering. Huntington recorded that as they prayed, she ceased groaning and was healed by the power of God, leading her to praise God for her delivery from death.
In Their Own Words
“In the summer of 1878 sister Singleton sent for me to come and administer to her as she thought she was dying—her life, she said, was going out of her, so peculiar and excessive was her suffering. Before we were done praying she ceased to groan being healed by the power of God, through faith in his son Jesus Christ. She praised God most wonderfully for her miraculous delivery from death. — Oliver B. Huntington, History of the Life of Oliver B. Huntington”
