  • NAUVOO's TEMPLE It Was Announced August 31, 1840, That A
    NAUVOO’S TEMPLE Dean E. Garner—Institute Director, Denton, Texas t was announced August 31, 1840, that a temple would be built, and Iarchitectural plans began to come in. Joseph Smith “advertised for plans for the temple,” William Weeks said, “and several architects presented their plans. But none seemed to suit Smith. When [William] presented his plans, Joseph Smith grabbed him, hugged him and said, ‘You are the man I want.’”1 Thus William was made superintendent of temple construction. All his work was cleared by the temple building committee. Those on the committee were Reynolds Cahoon, Elias Higbee, and Alpheus Cutler.2 Joseph Smith had the final say pertaining to the details of the temple, for he had seen the temple in vision, which enabled him to make decisions on the temple’s appearance.3 During the October Conference of 1840, the building of the Nauvoo During the temple was voted on and accepted by the saints. The temple was to be October Conference constructed of stone. Many weeks preceding the conference, a survey of Nauvoo’s main street verified that the entire route was underlain with a of 1840, the building massive layer of limestone many feet thick, particularly so in the northern of the Nauvoo part of the community. That site was selected for the quarry, where quality white-gray Illinois limestone could be extracted for the construction of temple was voted the temple. The principal quarry from which the temple stone would on and accepted by come was opened within ten days of the conference. Work in the quarry began October 12, 1840, with Elisha Everett striking the first blow.4 the saints.

  • Portrait of Hyrum Smith, a Vital Contributor to the Planning and Constructing of the Kirtland Temple
    Portrait of Hyrum Smith, a vital contributor to the planning and constructing of the Kirtland Temple. (© Intellectual Reserve, Inc.) HYRUM SMITH’S BUILDING OF THE KIRTLAND TEMPLE R Craig K. Manscill The Savior answers his own question when he says, “What manner of men ought ye to be? Even as I am.” In a similar way I say, “What manner of man ought we to be? Even as Richard Cowan.” My association with Richard and Dawn Cowan over these many years has demonstrated not only that they are followers of Christ in word and deed but that the Savior’s light emanates from their countenance. Indeed, Richard’s collective body of works—books, articles, teaching, and citizenship—leaves us with a lasting legacy to read and study for many years to come. It is with this sentiment that I write and dedicate this article to the Cowans’ love of temples. ver the years, the scholarly community has written exten- sively about the structure and construction of the Kirtland Temple in Ohio.1 Together, these formative works con- Ostitute our collective knowledge of the structure and construction of the Kirtland Temple. However, these authors, for the most part, have overlooked the involvement and contributions of Hyrum Smith. Smith, the older brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith, was assigned to supervise construction, raise funds, and promote unity and spiritual- ity among the Kirtland Saints in preparation for the solemn assembly to be held at the dedication of the temple. Consulting Smith’s personal diaries, letters, daybook, and account book adds important details to the collective history of the Kirtland Temple.2 Including the Smith 48 P An Eye of Faith papers in the temple narrative from conception to the dedication will provide new information and collaborate established facts about the structure and construction of this house.

    Prospectus William Weeks and the Ephemeral Temple at Nauvoo Central to the early Mormon concept of the City of Zion was the temple. Confronting violent opposition in Ohio and Missouri, in 1839 the Mormons fled to their new Zion at Nauvoo, Illinois situated along a horseshoe bend on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. In 1840, work on a new temple commenced which would define and establish the permanency of Mormonism. The primitive theology and ritual surrounding the first Mormon temple in Ohio, developed and evolved for the more grandiose temple planned at Nauvoo. However, as Joseph Smith introduced new and controversial doctrines violent opposition increased from both inside and outside the Church. The temple rituals adapted with the expanding doctrine and necessitated an increasingly complex architectural program both on the temple’s interior and exterior. The larger Nauvoo Temple, while generally following the established prototype at Kirtland, assumed new functions and forms not anticipated during its initial planning and construction. The thesis will reexamine William Weeks’s involvement as architect in the design and construction of the Nauvoo temple, in collaboration with Joseph Smith. In particular, as architect, William Weeks materialized a definitive moment in Mormonism’s evolving cultural identity by reshaping ritual space, establishing Mormon material identity and introducing mystery and complexity in the ephemeral Nauvoo temple (1841-1846). The Nauvoo temple became the iconic symbol of Mormonism’s revolutionary doctrinal teachings during the Nauvoo period.

  • Foundations of Faith at Adam-Ondi-Ahman
    Foundations of Faith at Adam-ondi-Ahman Elder Ken Wilcock – 11 October 2020 Grateful to be here with you, Grateful to be here as a Senior Missionary at this Sacred Location for the past 19 months and to be associated with the other Missionaries who have consecrated 20 months of their lives to serve the Lord here. Grateful for the acquaintances that we have made with so many of you gathered here this beautiful Sunday Afternoon. Previous to our call here, we met with a business acquaintance of mine who had served here as Director in 2016. He suggested that we should purchase the book “Sacred Places in Missouri” by Lamar Berrett. As a novice student of history, I had already bought one, but had no idea at the time that this book would launch me on to the path of adventure that it did. Soon after my wife and I arrived here in March of last year, I went out exploring and started finding these Orange 1” steel pipe post in various locations. Looking into the book, “Sacred Places in Missouri” it mentions these markers placed at certain locations and by that I was able to learn what these markers identified. The book mentioned that 15 of these posts had been placed and it soon became a quest of mine to find all 15. Brigham Young University sent Archeological Research Crews out here during the summers between 1979 and 1984 to excavate and locate as many as the foundations of buildings and structures that had been established by the Saints who lived in in 1838 as they could.

  • Habeas Corpus and the Courts: Individual Liberties from Joseph Smith to Abraham Lincoln to Guantanamo (A Story and a Play)
    Walker: Habeas Corpus and the Courts 107 Habeas Corpus and the Courts: Individual Liberties from Joseph Smith to Abraham Lincoln to Guantanamo (A Story and a Play) Jeffrey N. Walker Jeffrey N. Walker received his JD from Brigham Young University. He cur- rently is the manager and coeditor of the legal series for the Joseph Smith Papers Project for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is an adjunct professor at the BYU Law School and on the executive committee of the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation. [Editor’s note: History has been presented through the years in a number of formats in order to convey to the interested observer enlarged meaning and understanding. Mormon Historical Studies is pleased to include this portrait of the consequential juxtaposition of Joseph Smith and Amer- ican legal institutions via the unique presentation of stage play. Jeffrey Walker’s innovative delivery of the past is given within the backdrop of a recent (2013) and historic collaboration of legal scholars and historians, including those from the state of Illinois and several LDS Church enti- ties, described below. Received with acclaim by the several audiences that witnessed the production, the relevance of the Mormon past to issues influencing modern American culture is illustrated with acumen. Walk- er’s article gives background to both the circumstances that fostered this inventive portrait and the legal/historical issues of Joseph Smith’s use of Habeas Corpus, one of the signal intersections of the Mormon prophet and the society in which he lived.] Mitt Romney’s presidential bids raised interest in Mormonism around the nation, and Mormon history caught the attention of the Illinois Su- preme Court Historic Preservation Commission (ISCHPC).

  • Church Officers, 1839–1843
    Ecclesiastical Officers and Church Appointees Th e following charts show the general leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as local ecclesiastical offi cers in Nauvoo, Illinois, between 1839 and April 1843. Th e charts also identify the temple recorder and members of the Nauvoo temple committee and Nauvoo House Association. Readers wishing to conduct further research may consult the documented organizational charts posted on the Joseph Smith Papers website. FIRST PRESIDENCY, QUORUM OF THE TWELVE, AND PATRIARCH Th e following chart shows the members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, as well as the church patriarch, with their dates of service. By 1839 the titles and offi ces of the First Presidency, which had varied in earlier years, were relatively stable, consisting of a president and two counselors; fl exibility in its organization is evident, however, in positions held by Hyrum Smith, Amasa Lyman, and John C. Bennett. Th e responsibilities of the members of the Quorum of the Twelve, whose duties had been prose- lytizing and overseeing scattered branches of the church, expanded in Nauvoo as they took on signifi cant administrative tasks. After the deaths of JS and Hyrum Smith on 27 June 1844, the First Presidency dissolved and the Quorum of the Twelve presided over the church until Brigham Young was sustained as church president in December 1847. For more information on the following individuals’ terms of service, see the Biographical Directory in this volume. OFFICE 1839 1840 1841 1842 1843 First Presidency: Joseph Smith Jr.

  • Quincy—A City of Refuge
    Susan Easton Black: Quincy–A City of Refuge 83 Quincy—A City of Refuge Susan Easton Black Early Quincy residents compassionately cared for Mormon exiles from Missouri, as one would care for an enduring friend.1 Residents expressed indignation at the Missouri governor’s order proclaiming, “The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State.”2 Citizens of Quincy disregarded religious differences and embraced downcast Mormons crossing the Mississippi River. The solicitous reception by Quincyans during the winter of 1838–39 is unparalleled in the annals of Mormonism and has never been forgotten. It has become a legacy that epit- omizes all that is good in people. The story of this legacy begins just as Mormon founder Joseph Smith was concluding that the Patriarch Abraham and the ancients would “not have whereof to boast over us [meaning his followers] in the day of judg- ment” and that the Latter-day Saints would “hold an even weight in the bal- ance with them.”3 At this season of lamentation, the citizens of Quincy reached out to heal wounds, redress wrongs, and assist the sorrowful. Quincyans offered hearth and home, sustenance, and their possessions to provide much-needed relief to the Mormon exiles. Quincy historian Phil Germann recalled the generosity on a recent WGEM News broadcast. He remarked, “It was [one of] the greatest human- itarian gestures in the United States. Quincy in the 1830s was not pre- pared to welcome strangers. Travel was difficult and health precarious.” He viewed the generosity of the forebears of his city as “one of .

  • History of the Cutlerite Faction of the Latter Day Saints
    HISTORY OF THE CUTLERITE FACTION OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS BY EMMA L. ANDERSON Alpheus Cutler was born in Plainfield, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, February 29, 1788. Of his early years I have heard but little, except that he was a soldier in the War of 1812. I believe that one of his grandsons, Freeman E. 'An­ derson, of Bemidji, Minnesota, has a sword in his possession that belonged to Alpheus Cutler in 1812. He married Lois Lathrop, also of New Hampshire. To them were born eleven children, some of whom died in childhood. In 1833 they were living in Chautauqua County, New York, where the restored gospel was presented to them by David Patten and Reynolds Cahoon. It was accepted by the family. They moved to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1835, and to Mis­ souri a few years later, locating near Richmond. They were driven from the State when the Saints were driven to Illi­ nois.1 There they lived at Nauvoo until some time after the assassination of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. Doctrine and Covenants 107: 41 shows that Alpheus Cut­ ler was one of the High Council. After the death of the Mar­ tyrs the Cutler family lived for a time at Kanesville and at Winter Quarters. Along about 1847, 2 they moved to Silver Creek, Iowa, where a branch of the church was· already lo­ cated. Soon Alpheus Cutler was chosen presiden.t of the branch. At this time George A. Smith and others were sent to that place to investigate conditions there. They called a meeting and bore testimony to the truth of what had been given them before: that Alpheus Cutler had been ordained and set apart 1 He was with the Twelve on its return to Far West after the Missouri exodus, April 26, 1839.
