Two children in Spanish Fork suffered from white swelling for four months and were unable to walk without crutches. In 1900, Elder Elias H. Blackburn blessed and treated them, and they were healed.
In Their Own Words
“In the year 1900 I was called to Spanish Fork, Utah, to see two children who were afflicted with white swelling. They had been suffering for four months and their legs were drawn up badly. They were able to move around only by the use of crutches. For two days at different times I blessed and treated them. The Lord healed them and they stopped using their crutches. — Millennial Star 65:7”
