[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Jan 28th 1844 Sunday This was quite a remarkable day to me & my family in some respects. Weather vary Cold. Thermometer 15 degrees below Zero. I commenced in the morning to prepare to devote the day to write my friend. It being vary Cold I set a pot of Chaircoal in the bedroom to warm it. I shaved, washed & changed my cloths. Phebe done the same ie change her clothing & while we were their the effects of the Chaircoal nearly overpowerd us. 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.
I met with the quorum of the Twelve and others for instruction. Mrs Woodruff and myself were both some unwell from the effects of the coal during the day. Yet we had an interesting time.
{WW} {PWW} I Wilford Woodruff and Phebe W. Woodruff both recieved a benefit by Prayers and laying on of hands. The Subject of Elijah's coming to seal the hearts of the fathers to the Children &c was spoken of. Seal the hearts of the children to the fathers Malachi IVth Ch. 6 vers.
