home from the meeting and spent the
greater part OF the night praying. Just
before daylight Graffenreid says his wife
awoke him and asked him which he loved
best his wife or child, baby about
sixteen months old. She said the Lord
was going to take one of them and asked
which he would rather give TYP. He re
Piled that if 1t was the Lord 5 Will he
would rather give up the child.
He says the woman then got out Of
bed and took the child in her arms and
declared she was going to offer it as
sacritice lie says he was standing By
her trying to quiet her when she sudden
~ exclaimed. Here. Lord, take this
child and threw the baby against the
wall.
He says his wife then threw her arms
around him and tried to choke him. say
ing something about both of them going
to Heaven together
They had a scuffle which awakened the
other children who ran into the room
