Patriarchal Blessing
       A blessing given by , James Marion Shaffer, Patriarch, upon the head of Jennie Lind Freestone, daughter of Jens Christian Anton Lind and Mary Ann Nelson Lind.  Born March 26, 1855 at Aaborg Denmark.
       Sister Jennie Lind Freestone: by virtue and authority of the HOly Priesthood confered upon me I place my hands upon your head and bestow upon you a Patriarchal blessing.  For your comfort and blessing while youshall remain upon the earth.
        Dear Sister Freestone, the Lord has acknowledged your labors in the past.  He has taken unto account the suffering and privations that you have undergone, and the sacarfices you have made for the sake of the gospel of Christ restored in this generation.
      Your name is written in the archives of Our Father in Heaven, among thse who have served Him and kept His Commandments.  And a crown of righteousness awaits you in Our Father's kingdom, if you remain faithful and true to the Covenants which you have made.  And the commandments of the Lord given us to live by.
         Dear Sister, thou art of the blood of Isreal, through Ephriam, the son of Joseph, the great Patriarch of the Lord.
       Dear Sister, the Lord is mindful of you, and you shall enjoy many, many blessings, at His hands through the gspel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  And the privilege will be yours to labor as a servant of your kindred dead in the temples of God.  And you shall receive genealogy for the redemption of your dead, by means and in ways that to those not understnading the workings and the powers of the Lord will be marvelous.
        And in your latter days, you shall have joy, comfort and satisfaction in the knowledge of your having been permitted to labor for those who had not this privilege granted unto them in life.
       And I bless you with peace, comfort and hope and with good cheer that your latter days may be full of satisfaction and joy and add to your now faithful testimony of the gospel as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
       And I seal you up to the service of the Lord.  And unto his fatherly care.  And against the powers of the evil one, to the end that thou shalt come forth on the morning of the first resurrection.
        In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen   approved:  James M. Shaffer
