Grant McMurray, secretary to the First Presidency of the RIDS Church gave the following introduction and tribute to Richard Howard at the Presidential Banquet, 1 June 1991, at Pomona College, Claremont, California. It is reproduced here in full, not only because it so memorably captures some of the more distinctive elements of the California conference but because it also clarifies the historical record about Richard Howard's personal contributions in transforming some walls between the two churches to windows. W. GRANT MCMURRAY: In 1980 when Jan Shipps was president of the Mormon History Association, the annual meeting convened in Canandaigua, New York; and Jan was assigned the bridal suite in the luxury hotel where we were housed. From this command center, she oversaw the activities of the conference and administered the business of the association. The room was so large, as I recall, that it could have housed the Tanner Lecture, with a concurrent ping-pong tournament in the bathroom. There was a huge round bed in the center of the room, site of the MHA Council meeting. And I vaguely seem to remember that the bathtub was sup- ported by a brace of oxen. While this was undoubtedly the high-water mark in MHA presi- dential accommodations, similar suites have been reserved for many of the others who have occupied this high and exalted office, the pinnacle of achievement in the Mormon History Association. Journal of Mormon History When Richard and Barbara Howard arrived at Pomona College on Wednesday, they were escorted to this year's presidential suite located directly behind the reception desk in the Walker Dormitory. When the door swung open, the first thing to greet their eyes was a generous collection of sweat socks and athletic supporters scattered around on the floor. This was perhaps not as disconcerting as the presence in the room of a young man and young lady enjoying an afternoon of un- scheduled diversion, much to the surprise of the Pomona College con- ference planners. After some discreet inquiry, it was determined that these were not budding young Mormon history scholars, though it was later speculated that they may have had something to do with the bus tours. At any rate, the couple was ejected from the room, efforts were made to pick up the socks and other items of clothing, and the fumigators were summoned. Throughout this entire experience, Barbara was at- tempting to maintain her public composure, but she kept whispering to Dick, "Tell them this just won't do, Dick. Tell them! Tell them!" As I reflected on this little drama of MHA presidential accommo- dations, it struck me that it was an apt metaphor, summarizing in a nutshell Richard Howard's near-thirty-year career in the field of RLDS history. Equipped with a dormitory budget in a Sheraton/Hilton/Ramada Inn world, Richard Howard has spent a career picking up a century or so of dirty laundry, interrupting the casual and idyllic assumptions of people occupying rooms for which they had neither paid the price nor understood the rules, all the while urged on by friends standing well in the background saying, "You tell 'em, Dick! You tell 'em!" Richard Howard was educated at Graceland College, the University of Kansas, the University of California—Berkeley, American University, St. Paul School of Theology, and in the American Studies graduate pro- gram at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • William Smith, Isaach Sheen, and the Melchisedek & Aaronic Herald
    William Smith, Isaach Sheen, and the Melchisedek & Aaronic Herald by Connell O'Donovan William Smith (1811-1893), the youngest brother of Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, was formally excommunicated in absentia from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 19, 1845.1 The charges brought against him as one of the twelve apostles and Patriarch to the church, which led to his excommunication and loss of position in the church founded by his brother, included his claiming the “right to have one-twelfth part of the tithing set off to him, to be appropriated to his own individual use,” for “publishing false and slanderous statements concerning the Church” (and in particular, Brigham Young, along with the rest of the Twelve), “and for a general looseness and recklessness of character which is ill comported with the dignity of his high calling.”2 Over the next 15 years, William founded some seven schismatic LDS churches, as well as joined the Strangite LDS Church and even was surreptitiously rebaptized into the Utah LDS church in 1860.3 What led William to believe he had the right, as an apostle and Patriarch to the Church, to succeed his brother Joseph, claiming authority to preside over the Quorum of the Twelve, and indeed the whole church? The answer proves to be incredibly, voluminously complex. In the research for my forthcoming book, tentatively titled Strange Fire: William Smith, Spiritual Wifery, and the Mormon “Clerical Delinquency” Crises of the 1840s, I theorize that William may have begun setting up his own church in the eastern states (far from his brother’s oversight) as early as 1842.

  • Mormon Colonization of San Bernardino
    http://www.covalt.org/mormon.HTM Mormon Colonization of San Bernardino First of all I like to thank The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' (referred to as "LDS" and "Mormon" in the rest of this paper) Historical Department. They opened their doors to me, allowing me to view records in their archives. They have an extensive collection of information relating to the Mormon settlement of San Bernardino. I had thought 5 days would be more than enough time to research what I wanted, but of course my research led to more questions and research data. Someday I'll head back for some more intensive researching there. I liberally took much out of the thesis by Joseph Wood ("The Mormon Settlement in San Bernardino 1851-1857"), the dissertation by Eugene Edward Campbell ("A History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints"), and a essay by Edward Leo Lyman ("The Rise and Decline of Mormon San Bernardino). These three works motivated me to expand my research further. If you are really into this subject, I suggest you purchase the book "San Bernardino. The Rise and Fall of a California Community" by Edward Leo Lyman (published 1996, Signature Books). I enjoyed the book immensely. You can order it online at Amazon books or Barnes and Noble. I apologize for any grammatical and/or spelling mistakes. If you find any, please inform me so I can correct them. Here is an article about the settlement of Rialto (a community in San Bernardino). Loma Linda (Ca) 3rd Graders study about the history of their community (which includes this settlement).

  • Cowdery, Oliver
    Cowdery, Oliver Richard Lloyd Anderson Oliver Cowdery (1806—1850) was next in authority to Joseph Smith in 1830 (D&C 21:10—12), and was a second witness of many critical events in the restoration of the gospel. As one of the three Book of Mormon witnesses, Oliver Cowdery testied that an angel displayed the gold plates and that the voice of God proclaimed them correctly translated. He was with Joseph Smith when John the Baptist restored to them the Aaronic Priesthood and when Peter, James, and John ordained them to the Melchizedek Priesthood and the apostleship, and again during the momentous Kirtland Temple visions (D&C 110). Oliver came from a New England family with strong traditions of patriotism, individuality, learning, and religion. He was born at Wells, Vermont, on October 3, 1806. His younger sister gave the only reliable information about his youth: “Oliver was brought up in Poultney, Rutland County, Vermont, and when he arrived at the age of twenty, he went to the state of New York, where his older brothers were married and settled . Oliver’s occupation was clerking in a store until 1829, when he taught the district school in the town of Manchester” (Lucy Cowdery Young to Andrew Jenson, March 7, 1887, Church Archives). While boarding with Joseph Smith’s parents, he learned of their convictions about the ancient record that their son was again translating after Martin Harris had lost the manuscript in 1828. The young teacher prayed and received answers that Joseph Smith mentioned in a revelation (D&C 6:14—24).

  • Professionalization of the Church Historian's Office
    “There Shall Be A Record Kept Among You:” Professionalization of the Church Historian’s Office J. Gordon Daines III University Archivist Brigham Young University Slide 1: The archival profession came into its own in the 20th century. This trend is reflected nationally with the development of the National Archives and the establishment of the Society of American Archivists. The National Archives provided evidence of the value of trained staff and the Society of American Archivists reached out to records custodians across the country to help them professionalize their skills. National trends were reflected locally across the country. This presentation examines what it means to be a profession and how the characteristics of a profession began to manifest themselves in the Church Historian’s Office of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also examines how the recordkeeping practices of the Church influenced acceptance of professionalization. Professionalization and American archives Slide 2: It is not easy to define what differentiates an occupation from a profession. Sociologists who study the professions have described a variety of characteristics of professions but have generated very little consensus on which of these characteristics are the fundamental criteria for defining a profession.1 As Stan Lester has noted “the notion of a ‘profession’ as distinct from a ‘non-professional’ occupation is far from clear."2 In spite of this lack of clarity about what defines a profession, it is still useful to attempt to distill a set of criteria for defining what a profession is. This is particularly true when studying occupations that are attempting to gain status as a profession.
