From the life of Maria Purser Colebrook: Maria Purser
Colebrook was born in England, 1823. When Maria was a young girl she was
witnessing the coronation of Queen Victoria when a carriage wheel ran over
Maris’s foot causing a severe fracture. This resulted in a twisted, useless
leg. As a result she developed other interests which she could do alone.
As she read the Bible her interest in it became the source of many
spiritual manifestations in her life. One vision she had helped her know how to
care for her leg. She followed the treatment prescribed in the vision and
within three months she was walking without crutches.
Soon after the wonderful healing she met Charles Colebrook and
married him in 1846 in Kidderminster, England. That same year she became
inflicted with “spasms.”
While she was visiting a friend the Mormon Elders administered to
her and she was relieved of her symptoms immediately. She never again suffered
such attacks.
Maria and her husband joined the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saint. They were also blessed with the birth of their daughter whom
they lovingly called Nellie.
The young family sailed for America on the ship, “Henry Ware.” The
crossing was difficult and prolonged by being stranded near a large reef for
several weeks. They finally landed in New Orleans and went to St. Louis.
