Andrew May's Miraculous Recovery from Derrick Accident

Andrew May, a young man of Call's Fort, was impaled through his body by a large prong of a derrick. The prong pierced his lung and broke a rib on the opposite side. He became unconscious and was not expected to survive. After Elders administered to him, he revived almost immediately, reported feeling the broken rib pieces reunite, and experienced a rapid recovery without further pain.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 57, No. 35 (29 August 1895), p. 557):

It seems that when the cruel derrick caught him in its giant grasp, one of the large prongs struck him in the back, piercing the lung and breaking a rib on the opposite side of his body. The unfortunate young man sank down unconscious, and it was thought by those present that he would expire before he could be removed to the house. Elders forthwith administered to him; he seemed to revive almost immediately, and now declares that at the time he heard and felt the pieces of the broken rib reunite. He has practically suffered no pain since from the terrible wound and has been able to sleep comfortably every night since the accident.
