Healing of Thomas T. Williams' hand through the service of his Mormon neighbors

“Thos. T. Williams, an ex-federal soldier who resides on his homestead in the west part of this Precinct, had the misfortune to seriously injure one of his hands about three weeks ago, since which time Dr. G. W. Hickman, of Benjamin, amputated one of the fingers of the injured hand. The cause of the accident was that Williams got his hand jammed between the wagon wheel and a load of wood. He has been confined to his bed, unable to help himself. The other day his Mormon neighbors, (he being a Gentile) turned out and put in his crop, about thirty acres, they furnishing also the seed, excepting a few bushels of barley, which was all that Williams had. The thing was done spontaneously without any hope of recompense. — Millennial Star 45:16”
