Anna Seegmiller — Healing through Nellie's Faith and Care

Anna Seegmiller Frost recounts a specific instance during her childhood in Kanab where she fell dangerously ill. Her 'other mother,' Mary Ellen 'Nellie' Seegmiller, who had been divinely prepared for her role through a prior vision, took charge of Anna's care. Anna describes the recovery as a result of Nellie's intense faith and persistent prayers. The family viewed Nellie's nursing and her ability to plead with heaven on behalf of the children as a spiritual gift that preserved Anna's life when medical resources were scarce in the pioneer settlement.
