[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 5th I spent the day in Portland. Called upon Ezra Carter & family. We ascertained that Father Carter had been in the day before to Carry us out there but did not find us & went home quite disappointed. Therefore Mrs Woodruff thought it best for her to go out to her Fathers house to see her Aged father once more. So she took Stage & went out & spent the night with him. He was quite out of health but got well Almost immediately as soon as he saw her. He was 76 years of Age And A visit from his Daughter Phebe was like one rose from the dead. We found all the friends glad to see us.
