Healing of Elder Jasper Petersen

Elder Jasper Petersen, a missionary in Odense, Denmark, suffered from severe illness including chills, fever, and acute pains in his side and breast. He received multiple administrations by the laying on of hands, which provided him immediate relief each time. He later died peacefully in his sleep, conscious to the last.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 49, No. 27, July 4, 1887, p. 427):

Elder Jasper Petersen, of Castle Dale, Emery County, Utah, who was laboring in the Odense Branch of the Scandinavian Mission, died at Odense, on the 23rd of June, 1887. He had been suffering for some time from chills and fever, together with acute pains in his side and breast; but, owing to the faith exercised by himself and the brethren, he was much relieved when anointed, and partook of his meals up to the time of his death. On the 22nd, he felt a pain in his breast, he was anointed and felt better. He retired to bed, but in the night he had another attack of the pain, making it difficult for him to draw his breath. He was administered to again and received immediate relief, so he fell asleep and did not awake again until 9 a.m. At 10 a.m. he felt better and ate with relish the food set before him; and remarked: Brother Hansen, it tastes pretty good. At 11-45 a.m. he fell asleep without the slightest sign of pain, and thus he died. He was conscious to the last, and passed away as one going to sleep. He was a faithful, energetic missionary, and his loss is deeply felt by his brethren in the ministry and the Saints among whom he labored.
