170 years ago today - Jan 28, 1844

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] This was quite a remarkable day to me & my family in some respects. Weather vary Cold. Thermometer 15 degrees below Zero. ... It being vary Cold I set a pot of Chaircoal in the bedroom to warm it. ... while we were their the effects of the Chaircoal nearly overpowerd us [carbon monoxide]. It made us most sick. We took the coal out. Aired the room. But it made us so sick we had to go to bed upon it. However we had not lain long before Phebe Amelia our little girl fell over in the Chair & nearly smashed her nose. Blood flew over her. After we had attended to the child Mrs Woodruff had to returned to her bed. We then had Prayers together before the Lord & asked for such things as we kneeded. I laid hands upon her & she was healed & attended to the business of the family.

... Wilford & Phebe W Woodruff receivd our 2d Anointing & sealings./
