While residing in Bountiful, Israel Call's daughter, Mary, became dangerously ill with a severe fever and respiratory ailment that local remedies could not alleviate. As her condition reached a critical point where the family feared for her life, Israel Call exercised his priesthood authority to administer a healing blessing. Witnesses recorded that during the administration, Israel felt a distinct surge of spiritual power and was moved to promise the child she would recover. Immediately following the prayer, the fever broke, and Mary fell into a peaceful sleep, waking the next morning with her health completely restored. This account is preserved in family records as a testimony of the power of the priesthood.
