[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 27th We Journied through the day And Just before we stoped A serious Accident Happened to Father Woodruff. He went to get into the waggon while the oxen were travelling. The foreboard gave way that He took hold of & He instantly fell upon His back & both wheels of the waggon loaded with 25 cwt passed over his legs And arms And came near passing over his head. I expected it had killed him but we soon found it had not broaken any bones but Had brused his flesh badley.
