Sister Annie Brainholt was suffering from a painful, rapidly growing tumor estimated at three pounds. Elder Elias H. Blackburn anointed her and prayed; the pain left immediately and the tumor disappeared.
In Their Own Words
“Sister Annie Brainholt of Redmond, Sevier county, Utah, was suffering from a hard tumor of about three pounds weight it was thought. As the tumor was extremely painful and was growing very fast, she and her family became alarmed concerning her condition. Feeling that they could still obtain relief by seeking the Lord as He has commanded, they put their trust in Him. At her husband’s request I anointed her, prayed and sealed the anointing, and the pain all left her. The tumor disappeared, as her family can testify.”
— Elias H. Blackburn, The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star
