    These pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traveled westward from Illinois to escape religious persecution and build a prosperous society of their own in today’s state of Utah.

Later generations of Latter-day Saint settlers, many listed here who were Piee & Chc NfLNcE buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery, have also had tremendous inuence on their religious community and the history of the state. 1 Edward R.

  • The Discovery of Official Minutes of a 1902 Meeting of the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles
    A "Meeting of the Brethren": The Discovery of Official Minutes of a 1902 Meeting of the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles Stan Larson DOCUMENTING THE DAILY IS DIFFICULT. Women save wedding dresses, not house dresses. Men polish the handles of hand-braided buggy whips, but toss worn-out hammer handles into the fire. Nineteenth-century Mor- mons were historically among the most diligent of record keepers, but they usually wrote down the text of blessings, prophetic pronounce- ments, and governmental blasts, not routine conversations about work- ing out water turns on the irrigation ditch or the fact that they showed up at priesthood meeting for the fiftieth week out of fifty-two. Yet the historian who reconstructs history by using only special events misstates and misinterprets the context of ordinariness against which the unusual assumes its luster. In Mormonism the difference be- tween the ordinary and extraordinary is particularly difficult to ascertain when it comes to decision-making among the general authorities, due to the inaccessibility of most research documents. As a result, the discovery among the Rudger Clawson papers, housed in the Manuscripts Division of the Marriott Library, University of Utah, of official minutes of a routine meeting of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1902 helps establish what constituted "business as usual" at the turn of the twentieth century. 78 Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought THE CLAWSON PAPERS Rudger Clawson (1857-1943) was a prominent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as missionary, church stenographer, folk hero, stake president, apostle, church auditor, mission president, president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and counse- lor in the First Presidency.1 Born in Salt Lake City in 1857, Clawson was the third child of Hiram B.
