    The World of Joseph Fielding: Chapter 33 Mary Fielding Smith Warned Not to Travel in 1848 The pioneers of 1848 began to gather at the Elk Horn outfitting station toward the end of May, moving their wagons across the swollen Elkhorn River on ferries and setting up camps on the west side while waiting for the rest of the company to arrive. President Young visited the camp several times on horseback, finally bringing his family members and wagons on the 30th of May. On the morning of May 31st, the river had risen three feet from the previous day as the winter snows melted. Men worked hard the next week ferrying wagons from the east bank to the west bank and encouraging the cattle to swim across. The account of Mary being chastised by Cornelius Lott is legendary in the LDS Church. Joseph Fielding does not mention the incident at all in his Pioneers moving west in 1848 crossed the Elkhorn journal. The bulk of the information comes from the River and camped, waiting for their companies. memory of Mary’s son, who was nine years old at the time. Young Joseph F. stated that he was present when Captain Lott approached Mary at the outfitting station.1 Joseph F. remembered that it had taken his mother and Uncle Fielding’s families three days to travel from Winter Quarters to the outfitting station.2 After arriving and possibly traveling a day to Elder Kimball’s camp, they were approached by Elder Kimball and Captain Lott, the latter appearing to have been supervising the cattle belonging to the second company.3 Joseph F.

  • Four Brief Histories from the Pioneer Heritage Library
    Four Brief Histories from the Pioneer Heritage Library John Pack, Pioneer 1 Veldon R. Hodgson, 5 Nov 1996 Ancestry, LDS Family History Suite 2, Pioneer Heritage Library Kate B. Carter, Heart Throbs of the West, Vol. 7, pp. 374–378. It was in New York that John Pack first became acquainted with the elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the fall of 1833 he outfitted his parents who had already joined the Church and sent them to Kirtland, Ohio. On the eighth of March, 1836 he and his wife were baptized into the Church by James Blakesley. In the early springtime of 1837, he disposed of his farm at Houns-field, and in April of the same year he and his wife moved to Kirtland, Ohio. He purchased a farm on the Chagrin River, not far from Kirtland. At this place he also began the construction of a saw mill, thus fulfilling a desire which he is thought to have entertained from his early youth at Saint John and possibly at Wattertown. In common with other members of the Church, John Pack was not to remain long in Kirtland. In the spring- time of 1838, under pressure of mob violence, he sold his farm at a great loss, and, with his family, including his parents, traveled by team to Missouri, a distance in excess of five hundred miles. They first went to the Far West, then to Adam-ondi-Ahman, and finally to the Grand River, where a farm of one hundred sixty acres was purchased, twenty miles from Far West and thirteen miles from Adam-ondi-Ahman.

  • John Taylor's Introduction of the Sugar Beet Industry in Deseret
    Bitter Sweet: John Taylor's Introduction of the Sugar Beet Industry in Deseret By MARY JANE WOODGER ince the mid-1800s, rumors have circulated that Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints president Brigham Young and his successor, John Taylor, did not get along. This position could be supported by the record of a heated discussion that took place Sduring a meeting on March 17, 1853. The minutes reveal that Young accused Taylor of knowing no more of business "than a mere stranger," not knowing "that a million doUars is worth a red cent," being as "wild in [his] calculations as a man can be," and "manifest[ing] the spirit of an old English lord." After Young hurled these accusations, Taylor rebuffed, "I am as independent as any other man in my way, and I know the respect that is due to your Notes and drawing probably office and calling in the Kingdom of God; made by John Taylor showing but, no man has the authority, in any position sugar-making equipment he had that he may hold, to cram a thing down my studied in France.
