Life Sketches of Ellen G. White
this meeting my husband joined me, and from here, with Elder Haskell
and our daughter, we went to Dallas, Texas.
Visit to Texas
Thursday we went to Brother McDearman’s at Grand Prairie. Here
our daughter met her parents and her brother and sister, who had
all been brought near to the door of death by the fever which had
prevailed in the State during the past summer. We took great pleasure in
ministering to the wants of this afflicted family, who had in years past
liberally assisted us in our affliction. They were somewhat improved
in health when we left them to attend the Plano camp meeting, held
November 12-19. Here we were happy to meet our old friends Elder
R. M. Kilgore and his wife. And we were highly pleased to find a
large and intelligent body of brethren on the ground. My testimony
was never received more readily and heartily than by this people. I
became deeply interested in the work in the great State of Texas.
