Healing of O. B. Huntington's Son

While O. B. Huntington was traveling, his oldest and only son at the time was severely injured at home after being kicked by a horse. The impact crushed the boy's skull, leaving the injury so extensive that his sister, Zina Huntington, could feel the skull fragments shifting beneath her hand with only slight pressure. In response to the crisis, his sisters Zina and Presendia Huntington, alongside another sister in the Church—identified by Huntington as likely being Elizabeth Ann Whitney—gathered together. They made a solemn promise to fast and pray for the boy's recovery. This period of intercession continued until the following Tuesday, when the boy finally regained his senses enough to call for water. He survived the ordeal and was later reported as living near Salt Lake City in the area known as 'over Jordan.' This account is drawn from the personal history of O. B. Huntington.
