Aaron Willey Call
1891-1961
I was born the 7th day of July 1891, in Bountiful, Davis County, Utah, a little town nine miles north of Salt Lake City, just a small place known as East Bountiful.
The house in which I was born was a large brick, six room home, very oddly constructed, but very comfortable. The kitchen was in the southeast corner of the house with a nice window in the east and a glass door in the southeast corner, which we enjoyed very much.
When I was five months old, five carbuncles came on my body, one under each arm, one in each groin and one on the left shin. They caused me to be very sick, resulting in a lot of sleepless nights for father and mother. The family doctor, Sister Waddoups, who was the mid-wife for that small community and who also took care of mother when I was born, did all they could for me, but finally said there was nothing else that could be done. Through the great faith of my dear father and mother, they called in the Elders, who were Brother Alma Kenniston and Brother Thomas Waddoups. They administered to me and through the faith of my folks, and the help of the Lord, I soon became well. Up until this time I had not grown very much, but through the good nursing of my mother and the help of our Father in Heaven, I started growing, as a child should.
