- Story written by Nellie Woodruff Whitaker
In August of 1908 Elias Laurence Woodrufff was born. He was a beauti f u l h ealthy Child. During the second summer we went to the camp in ten t s w it h the Cannon family in Provo canyon. Their children had been exp os ed t o w hooping cough. Of course, all the children got it.
My little brother could not cough up the stuff in his throat. His cond i t i on steadily worsened and so we went home.
His nurse had left mother and me to watch him while she had a short re s t . I followed mother into his bedroom just in time to see him have a c on v u lsion. Mother screamed and was terribly upset. Father was sent fo r a n d ca me from work. The doctor came, but there was nothing could b e don e f or m y little baby brother.
As a young Child about seven years of age, i had my first experienc e w i t h death in our family. I well remember the shock it was to my mot he r t o l ose her beautiful son of about sixteen months to complication s o f who opin g cough.
I sorrowed to see her grief. It made a deep impression on me. As a fam i l y, we listened to father explain about the resurrection. I wondered w h a t w ould happen to us children if either of our parents were taken fr o m u s. I prayed this would never happen.
Through the years I have had other spiritual experiences which incre a s e d my testimony and helped me to know more about the wisdom of Go d i n gi vi ng us what is for our good even though we cannot always under stan d i t a t the time.
