He stayed in Kirtland and witnessed many marvelous things, he was persecuted with the rest of the Saints, attended Zion's Camp, and was ever faithful.
While residing in Missouri, a ruthless mob attacked the settlement and, "the first shots fired by the mob wounded Philo Dibble in the bowels, the balls remaining in him. As he bled much inwardly his bowels became swollen, and his life was despaired of. Newel Knight, however, administered to him, by laying on hands in the name of Jesus Christ, and a purifying fire penetrated his whole system. He discharged several quarts of blook and corruption, with which one of the balls that inflicted his wounds. He was immediately healed."
Philo lived to take part in the defense of Nauvoo, Illinois thirteen years later; and soon removed to the Rocky Mountains, where he died at the age of 90.
