Healing of Ellen B. Matheny in the St. George Temple

“From my twenty-eighth to my thirty-first year [born in 1839] I enjoyed moderately good health, when I met with an accident which paralyzed my right arm and nearly the right half of my body. This caused me to be a helpless invalid for six years, during which time my husband was called to leave this world of sorrow. In the seventh year of my sickness I went to the St. George Temple, was baptized for my health, and to do some work for my mother, and from that time I rapidly improved, and in one year I was called to go to the St. George Temple as a regular worker, where I worked for three years without losing a day on account of sickness.”
