Woods: Cemetery Record of William D. Huntington 131 The Cemetery Record of William D. Huntington, Nauvoo Sexton Fred E. Woods When John Butler first visited Commerce (later known as Nauvoo) he recalled, “I asked Brother Joseph what kind of a place it was. He said it was a low, marshy, wet, damp and nasty place, but that if we went to work and improved it, it would become more healthy and the Lord would bless it for our sakes.”1 The Prophet Joseph Smith also stated, “The name of our city (Nauvoo) is of Hebrew origin, and signifies a beautiful situation, or place, carrying with it, also, the idea of rest; and is truly descriptive of the most delightful situation. This place has been objected to by some, on account of the sickness which has prevailed in the summer months.” Yet Joseph expressed his hope that such sickness could be “remedied by draining the sloughs on the adjacent islands in the Mississippi.”2 The Saints did drain the swampy terrain of Nauvoo, but the call of death continued.

Each page is set in two columns. The volume used for this transcription was donated to the Salt Lake Temple by Lycurgus A. Wilson on 8 September 1894, according to a book- plate on the inside front cover of the volume. It was transferred to the library of the Church Historian’s Office sometime before 1923.1 Evening and Morning Star Revelations published in Evening and Morning Star (Kirtland, OH), vol. 1, nos. 1–10 and 12, and vol. 2, no. 13; edited by Oliver Cowdery.

Dr. Alexander Baugh is the consummate Missouri historian and helps set the stage for the Saints’ arrival and eventual expulsion from the state. This episode will remind us what the Lord teaches us when our expectations don’t meet reality and what happens after “much tribulation.” Part 2: Dr. Alexander Baugh continues our discussion about the cultural disparity between the Saints and the local population in Missouri as we discuss Doctrine and Covenants 58-59. The Lord is gathering Saints from the United States, Canada, and England to create an organization that will have Saints in every corner of the world.

V. Smith. All rights reserved.] An explanation of the plat of the city of Zion, sent to the brethren in Zion, the 25th of June, 1833:2 p. 357 The plat contains one mile square;3 all the squares in the plat contain ten acres each, being forty rods square. You will observe that the lots are laid off alternately in the squares; in one square running from the south and north to the line through the center of the square; and in the next, the lots run from the east and west to the center line. Each lot is four perches4 in front and twenty back, making one half of an acre in each lot, so that no one street will be built on entirely through the street; but on one square the houses will stand on one street, and on the next one, another, except the middle range of squares, which runs north and south, in which range are the painted squares. The lots are laid off in these squares, north and south, all of them; because these squares are forty perches by sixty, being twenty perches longer than the others, their greatest length being east and west, and by running all these squares, north and south, it makes all the lots in the city of one size.

    Among the sources of tension in American society is a substantial ambiva- lence toward competition. American children, like those in most other modern- ized societies are given a dual behavioral standard. For most social inter- actions, competition is an accepted and even a favored mode of behavior. In the family, however, unselfish and altruistic behavior is upheld as the ideal. Thus, the child is expected to learn to adjust his behavior to differ- ing situations. Careful discrimination, then, became very important in deter- mining appropriate action in any given situation. There is no society that is perfectly successful in its acculturation of its children. Further, no individual is capable of perfect discrimination. He cannot apply one standard with perfection outside the family context, and concurrently apply another within. These weaknesses invariably create problems and tensions. One effort to resolve the problem involves the establishment of a communally organized society. Such a society is noted for its relative absence of in- dividual property rights. Material wealth is dispersed equally among the members of the group and property is held in common. Since all share equally in group assets, the opportunity for discimination among individuals on the basis of wealth is reduced, if not entirely absent. It has been assumed that in the absence of private property and wealth, individuals have little incentive to be competitive and that, therefore, greed selfishness and other negatively valued features associated with competition would be greatly ameliorated in a communal setting. Hence, the cooperative behavior held to be the ideal within the familiar order is expanded and applied to the communal order giving greater consistence to society's ideal patterns for behavior.

    Sidney Rigdon's 1820 Ministry: Preparing the Way for Mormonism in Ohio> Richard McClellan ONE MONTH AFTER SIDNEY RIGDON'S conversion to Mormonism, he visited Joseph Smith in New York, occasioning the following revelation: I say unto my servant Sidney, I have looked upon thee and thy works. I have heard thy prayers, and prepared thee for a greater work. Thou art blessed, for thou shalt do great things. Behold, thou wast sent forth, even as John, to prepare the way before me. .and thou knewest it not. (Doctrine and Covenants, hereafter D&C, 35:3-5) In this remarkable passage, Sidney, a new initiate to Mormonism, is com- pared to John the Baptist and acknowledged for having unknowingly cried in the Ohio wilderness to prepare the way for Mormonism. In a later revelation, Sidney was appointed "spokesman to this people" with "power to be mighty in testimony" and in "expounding all scriptures" (D&C 100:9-11). What was it about Sidney Rigdon that made him so valuable to Joseph Smith and Mormonism? This paper examines some of his activities and rela- tionships during the 1820s that "prepared the way" for the Mormons in northern Ohio. It also documents Rigdon's pre-Mormon development of skills that earned him the sobriquet "mighty spokesman." Sidney Rigdon was familiar with the Baptist ministry from an early age. His three cousins, John, Thomas, and Charles Rigdon, grew up on a neighboring farm near Pittsburgh and become prominent Baptist ministers while Sidney was still a youth. John and Thomas settled in northern Ohio and were active in the Beaver Baptist Association, made up of congregations along the Pennsylva- 1.
