Abstract
This
is
a
two-page
typescript
biography
, a
part
of the
Mary
Ellen
Stoddard
Smith
collection
,
located
in the
twenty-forth
folder
of the
collection
, and
written
by her
great-granddaughter
,
Julia
Etta
Gay
Shupe
. The
manuscript
describes
some
of
Olive’s
ancestors
as
being
early
pioneers
from
England
to
America
, in
particular
,
Edmund
Freeman
,
who
founded
Sandwich
,
Barnstaple
,
Massachuetts
, and
later
became
assistant
Governor
of
Massachusetts
. The
biography
also
describes
Olive’s
conversion
to the
LDS
faith
.
Elders
Orson
Pratt
and
Lyman
Johnson
requested
to
use
the
schoolhouse
to
hold
meetings
.
Winslow
was
impressed
with their
teachings
and
brought
them to his
home
in the
hopes
that the
missionaries
would
heal
his
wife
.
“Elder
Pratt
suddenly
arose
going
to the
bedside
,
said,”
Sister
Olive
,
do
you
believe
God
can
heal
you?”
She
answered
readily
,
“
I
believe
all
things
are
possible
with
God.”
Then he
laid
his
hands
upon
her,
rebuked
the
disease
, and
commanded
her to be
made
whole
, and
instantly
, to the
surprise
and
joy
of
all
, she at
up
in
bed
,
called
for her
clothes
,
dressed
and
got
up
.
Olive
was
well
known
,
well
liked
, and
“
a
perfect
lady
under
all
circumstances.”
