baptized in Santa Rosa Creek, about 200 feet from
their door. Both of the sons were there with their
families. The invalid daughter-in-law said, "I, too,
want to be baptized. The Lord who has heard my
prayers and forgiven my sins will give me strength
to be baptized."
She was dressed for the occasion, placed in a
chair in a wagon which was then driven into the
water. Elder Bourdeau took one side of the chair

As we raised her from the water she shouted,
"Glory!" her face radiant with the light of heaven.
She then walked to the wagon and got in without
assistance. She made her own change of clothing at
her house, declared herself free from illness and
prepared dinner for the company.
