Oliver B. Huntington’s mother's faith-based healing of a corpse

“Mother was called to sit up with the corpse, and during the night she was left alone in the room with the corpse, and was studying upon the power, faith and the possibility of the dead being brought back to life now as well as in the days of the apostles. She believed with all her heart it could be done, and she believed that that good man could be brought back to usefulness by the power of faith. She felt that faith in her, and stepping to the corpse turned down the cloth that covered his face and called him to come to life. The dead man obeyed, and opened his eyes full wide and gazed into hers. The scene was too much for her mortality. She threw back the cloth and left the room, and that inanimate flesh remained as it was. She afterwards told us children of this, and said the Lord allowed it to show her that the gifts of the apostles were still in the church, and that she could have brought him to life if she had had sufficient faith to have stood the sight.”
