Healing of Sister Sarah Holton

Sister Sarah Holton suffered from an ulcerated stomach for nine weeks and could retain no food. A local doctor declared she could not survive the night. She was administered to by the Elders, recovered from the pain, and eventually regained full health.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 48, No. 31, August 2, 1886):

On two occasions the power of healing has been made manifest and most miraculously displayed. Sister Sarah Holton was taken ill last fall with an ulcerated inside, and for nine weeks she could retain nothing on her stomach. One of the best doctors of Northampton, after doing all that he could, gave her up, saying she could not last till morning. The same evening she was administered to by the Elders, and to the great astonishmtnt of all, survived, and from that time did not suffer the excruciating pain she had felt before the administration. After six months’ illness, seven weeks of which was spent in the hospital, she is now restored to health.
