Events
• Event, Cases of Miraculous Healings, 24 Ap 1850 in Kingston on Hull, Yorkshire, England
Raywell Street, Hull, April 24th, 1850.• Religion, a Mormon
Dear Brother Kelsey, -- The two following important cases of healing took place in January, 1849: -- Thomas Briggs, aged 17, was afflicted from three months old, with what the medical faculty call a withering limb. The most eminent doctors could no possibly heal it; their skill, however great, was entirely baffled. Many pounds were expended to no purpose. Hearing of the doctrine as taught by the Church of Latterday Saints, Elder Henry Beecroft was called upon, who anointed, and laid on hands, and prayed over him, and from that time he began to amend, and in a short time was quite healed; and now the lame limb is as strong as the other.

James Briggs, Henry Beecroft, Ann O. Briggs, James McNaughton.
