Henry Judson McCullough — Miraculous Recovery from Smallpox

While serving as a missionary in the British Mission between 1867 and 1869, Henry Judson McCullough was assigned to the Sheffield Conference. During his labors, he contracted a severe and life-threatening case of smallpox. His condition deteriorated to the point where his fellow missionaries and the local Saints feared he would not survive. According to the history compiled by his daughter, Eleanor Watson, Henry was administered to by the elders of the Church. Through the power of the Priesthood and his own faith, he experienced a remarkable and rapid recovery from the disease. Although the illness left him with permanent physical scarring, he considered his survival a direct miracle that allowed him to complete his mission and return to his family in Utah.
