Morgan Pioneer History Binds Us 'Together he was very sick and mother had scarcely any rest. He seemed to be much better and begged to go to bed with mother and father. But at 5:00 a.m. in the morning he asked that mother get up with him. This she did and as she was quietly going out of the room, she heard a voice say, "I have spared your child's life for one more year and he must go now." Mother thanked the Lord that he had spared him for one year, yet she did not realize that he would go so soon. He wanted to be dressed and have something to eat. She gave him a small piece of bread and butter. As the little fellow took his first bite, his little head dropped and he was gone. She awoke Father and told him what had happened. He told me to run to the neighbors for help, Father was so excited, he asked them to administer to him. My brother came back to life and as he opened his eyes, he said, "I want to go. I want to go." Mother asked him where he wanted to go and he said "To Angel Land." The little fellow asked his sister to sing for him. He went into convulsions and for eight long hours, he suffered terrible. When we all realized what we had done, we dedicated him to the Lord and we were all very thankful to our Heavenly Father when the little fellow's suffering was ended.
