The conversion of Frances Farr Mills

(The following is taken from the history of Louisa Harriet Mills Palmer)  It was while at "Winchester Hampshire, England that the family first heard the gospel.  It was carried to them by Brother Charles R. Savage, who later became a member of the Old Folks committee of Salt Lake City and William Wilde of Coalville, Utah.

Until this time my mother had belonged to the Baptist and Methodist churches, but did not seem satisfied with either.  The gospel came to them in a very peculiar way.  I was a baby of eleven months and was so ill the Doctor had given up all hopes of my recovery.  The minister passed judgment upon me and said that I would be dead by morning.  My mother was watching over her dying baby, waiting for the Doctor and minister to return, when someone knocked upon the door.  Upon answering the door she found two home missionaries who were strangers to her.
