To Whom It May Concern:
I had T.B. for a number of years caused from an accident which occurred while I was employed by a railroad company. I had been a patient in the Rockville, Indiana Sanitorium, but still I was bothered very much with the disease.
I was visiting in Kentucky with some of my kindred when I began to have several hemorrhages.
About 4:00 a.m. one morning they called in my kindred for I was dying. The wife of a Methodist minister came in and many other neighbors, and had prayer for me. Finally I began to feel I was dying and could breathe no longer. In the meantime someone went to get Rev. Branham, who did not know that I was home at the time. I can just remember him coming in. Then it seem¬ed I was going through air and I saw my mother who had been dead for about a year. I was just about to meet her when I heard the voice of Bro. Branham. In a few moments I was up and out on the floor, shouting and praising God. I have had no more hemorrhages since.
Friends told me that my pastor and Bro. Branham prayed earnestly for me before I passed away. My wife had been taken into another room and neighbors and my pastor were trying to console her. Bro. Branham was in the room with a Methodist minister's wife and another sister. He, too, turned to leave the room when suddenly some strange feeling came over him. Something seemed to impress him, "Don't you preach Divine Healing?" He turned to look at me again, and the Spirit of God came over him. He ran to the bed and threw himself across me, calling over me in the Name of Jesus Christ. It was then that I heard his voice and came back to life again.
All praises and glory to God be given.
