Nathan Tanner's Deliverance from Imprisonment and Protection of his Child

“Nathan Tanner told how he was imprisoned by the mob, leaving his wife with her sick child, with no one to protect her. The child was so low that the mother expected every moment it would breathe its last. She also momentarily expected the mob to come upon her and drive her from the shelter of her home, as so many others had been driven. Fearful lest the little body would be left without interment, she lifted the floor and, alone, with her own hands, dug a grave where she thought her little one might lie safe from desecration. Her fears were not realized, and the child lived and grew to maturity, and became the wife of James S. Brown. — Millennial Star 47:5”
