Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 42: November 1, 1907
In 1836 mother bought two acres of land for a homestead about half a mile south of the temple. I hold the deeds of that land today. In the fall of 1836 I went on a visit to my brother in St. Louis. On returning to Kirtland in the spring of 1837, I found the place almost deserted, as most of the Saints had gone in Zion's Camp to Far West.
In place of mother and myself going with the Saints to Far West, we went to Newark, Ohio, where we resided several years. I learned the trade of chair mak ing while there. Then we moved to St. Louis where I worked for several years at my trade. In the spring of 1844 we went to Nauvoo on a visit to President Joseph Young, and I was baptized on June 10, 1844. In going down to baptism the Nauvoo Expositor was lying in the mud, and seventeen days after my baptism the Prophet and his brother Hyrum were slain.
