Preaching experiences. Returned home in March feeling he had been treated kindly. Elijah spent his early boyhood in Pennsylvania. Being left an orphan at theage of six years he lived about two years with his grandparents, after which he found a home in the family of the late Bishop Edward Hunter, who at that time was a wealthy farmer in Chester county. Engaged in farming and stock-raising, he remained with Mr. Hunter for nine years. His opportunities for attending school were very limited, amounting to about six weeks a year from his eighth to his sixteenth year. Though raised on a farm, young Elijah was naturally inclined to mechanical pursuits, and at the age of seventeen he apprenticed himself for three years to Mr. Taylor Dilworth, to learn the trade of a blacksmith. While thus employed he first heard the restored gospel preached by Elders Edwin D. Woolley, Elisha H. Davis, Erastus Snow, Lorenzo D. Barnes, and others; the latter was the principal instrument in the hands of the Lord to raise up a branch of the church in Chester county, Pennsylvania. Young Elijah was converted to the truth at once. In 1841 he emigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois, arriving there in September. Elijah was one of about a hundred men who volunteered to work six months on the Nauvoo Temple without pay. September 4, 1842, he left Nauvoo, in company with Joseph A. Stratton, on a mission to Pennsylvania. They were gone twenty months, during which time they baptized about sixty souls; they returned to Nauvoo May 4, 1844, witt1ac witt1ac with a company of thirty emigrating Saints. Soon after his return to Nauvoo, Elder Sheets was called on another mission, this timeto Great Britain. Together with Elders Joseph A. Stratton, Elisha Davis and J. B. Meynell, he arrived in Liverpool, England, August 24, 1844. He labored successfully in Lancashire, Yorkshire, Herefordshire, and Radnorshire, and spent considerable of his time in visiting the different branches and encouraging the saints. He presided over the Bradford conference several months and later had charge of the Herefordshire conference. In returning to America, he went as a passenger in the ship "Liverpool" which sailed from Liverpool, England, January 16, 1846. He was one of the Elders called home to receive his blessings in the Nauvoo Temple, before the Church left for the wilderness; but the company arrived too late for him to enjoy that privilege. On the day of his departure from Liverpool he was married to Miss Margaret Hutchinson, of Radnorshire, on shipboard, Elder Wilford Woodruff performing the ceremony. Soon after his return to Nauvoo, he made preparations to go to the west. It was said that, Sheets has been one of the leading workers in that sacred edifice, and having now attained the ripe age of eighty years he is remarkably bright and strong, both physically and mentally. As a missionary abroad, a pioneer of the west, a presiding Church officer, a Temple worker and a business man, his noble characteristics and unflinching integrity became thoroughly established and universally known, and there are but few men in the Church who were more extensively and favorably known among the Saints of God than Bishop Sheets. Having presided over the Eighth Ward about forty-five years, he was the oldest acting Bishop in the Church. For some time he was a widower, his four wives having all passed away. On the occasion of the celebrating of the eightieth anniversary of his birthday his grandchildren numbered 49; and he had one great grandchild. .

    Voices from the Past Biological Sketches of a Worthy Married Couple in Teton Valley By Ezra and Mattie Murdock January 31, 1970 Tape #139 Oral Interview conducted by Harold Forbush Transcribed by Tia Aucoin Edited by Niccole Franc January 2008 Brigham Young University – Idaho Harold Forbush: It’s my real joy this afternoon, it being Saturday the 31st day of January, 1970, to have come to my office Brother and Sister Ezra A. Murdock that I might interview them pertaining to their early experiences in Teton Valley and also touching on some of the Murdock heritage, the Hunter heritage, and other family relations that should be mentioned. I would first like to comment that Sister Murdock, Mattie T. Murdock, the wife of Ezra, has been my personal secretary since about 1953, I believe. And she’s been with me all these many years, I guess through thick and thin and other problems that I want to say to her that I have appreciated her loyalty and faithfulness because it’s been in an area up in the valley where very few secretaries or very few people who really are trained secretarially and in short-hand and in typing and things like this and for this reason I’ve appreciated her real fine loyalty and good will. So, this afternoon here at Rexburg they have come, at my request, to my office. I should like to, first of all Mattie, ask you, I hope not too personal questions, but we start out by asking your full name and the date and place where you were born.
