Increase of Water Supply at Fountain Green through Divine Blessing

Reese R. Lewellyn reports that at Fountain Green, Sanpete, the water supply has miraculously increased since the initial settlement in 1859. Initially, the settlers believed the water was sufficient for only twelve families, but currently, with nearly one thousand inhabitants, they are successfully watering over 2,000 acres of land. This sustained increase in water, which the settlers attribute to the blessing of God, is described as a remarkable phenomenon throughout the valleys.

Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 39, No. 37, 10 September 1877, p. 589):

Fountain Green, Sanpete, has increased in water supply since its settlement in 1859. At that time it was thought there was only water enough for twelve families, but now there are nearly one thousand inhabitants, and over 2,000 acres of land are watered, which is a remarkable phenomenon in these valleys.
