Reid Andrus Brown 1933 ~ 2020 Reid Andrus Brown Passed Away Peacefully on June 4, 2020
Reid Andrus Brown 1933 ~ 2020 Reid Andrus Brown passed away peacefully on June 4, 2020. He was born January 8, 1933, in Pocatello, ID. He was the son of J. Elden Brown and Rose Vilate Andrus. He grew up in Draper, graduated from Jordan High School and attended the University of Utah. He served in the California Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and afterwards served in the United States Army stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska. Reid married Merilyn “Sunnie” Toone Nelson on May 1, 1959, in the Salt Lake Temple and they recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. He was a Deputy for the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office for 30 years where he served in many capacities. He was admired, respected and loved by the law enforcement community. At a young age, he learned to tune pianos from his father and continued doing so throughout his life. He faithfully served in many church callings and was always prepared with jokes and a talk in his pocket. He also served a mission with his wife in the Draper Utah Temple. Reid was a gentle giant with kind eyes, a very uplifting spirit and a delight to be around. He loved to share his jokes and enjoyed making people smile. He was a great father, mentor and example to his kids and grandkids and a faithful companion to Sunnie. Reid never sought the limelight, was always a calming influence, was unflappable, quietly and dependably got things done and was a strong catalyst for hard work. -

The Legend of Porter Rockwell
Reviews/115 THE L E G E N D OF P O R T E R ROCKWELL Gustive O. Larson Orrin Porter Rockwell: Man of God, Son of Thunder. By Harold Schindler. Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1966. Pp. 399. Gustive Larson is Associate Professor of Religion and History at Brigham Young University and the author of many books and articles on Utah and the Mormons. He is presently working on the anti-polygamy crusade. The sketches in this review are taken from this exceptionally handsome volume. The artist is Dale Bryner. The history of Mormonism and of early Utah as the two merge after 1847 has customarily featured ecclesiastical and political leaders, leaving others who played significant roles on the fighting front of westward expansion to lurk in historical shadows. Among many such neglected men were Ste- phen Markham, Ephraim Hanks, Howard Egan, and Orrin Porter Rock- well. Of the last much has been writ- ten but, like the vines which cover the sturdy tree, legend has entwined itself so intricately in Rockwell literature as to create a challenging enigma. This challenge has been accepted by Har- old Schindler in his book, Orrin Por- ter Rockwell: Man of God, Son of Thunder. The result has been to bring the rugged gun-man more definitely into view but with much of the legendary still clinging to him. An impressive bibliography reflects thorough research on the part of the author, and absence of discrimination between Mormon and Gentile sources indicates a conscientious effort to be objective. Yet the reader raises an intel- lectual eyebrow when confronted with an over-abundance of irresponsible "testimony" and sensationalism represented by such names as William Daniels, Bill Hickman, Joseph H. -

Thurston hen the Mormons were driven out of Missouri during the winter of W1838–39, they found the people of Illinois to have sympathetic hearts and welcoming arms. The Quincy Whig noted that the Mormons “appear, so far as we have seen, to be a mild, inoffensive people, who could not have given a cause for the persecution they have met with.” TheAlton Telegraph declared that in Missouri’s treatment of the Mormons “every principle of law, justice, and humanity, [had] been grossly outraged.”1 Over the next six years, however, feelings toward the Mormons gradually deteriorated, newspaper sentiment outside Nauvoo turned stridently negative, and in June 1844 their prophet was murdered by an enraged mob. -
Polygamy and Mormon Church Leaders Alpheus Cutler February 29, 1784
Polygamy and Mormon Church Leaders Alpheus Cutler February 29, 1784 – June 10, 1864 “It is no exaggeration to say that Cutler, next to the apostles, was one of Mormonism's most important leaders during this period.” – Journal of Mormon History, “Conflict in the Camps of Israel,” DANNY L. JORGENSEN, p. 31 1808 One thing to keep in mind when it comes to this family and others in early Mormonism is everyone involved is either married to, or a blood relative of each other. It’s almost impossible to extract definitive information on who fathered whom, or making sense of how they know each other. To complicate matters further, some have lied about a father’s identity by using pseudonyms, even to their own children. Our story about Alpheus picks up in 1808 with his first marriage, as records of Cutler’s life before that time are sparse. He met and married Lois Lathrop (distant cousin of Joseph Smith) while living in New Hampshire. Several years into their marriage they moved to western New York, where he and his family listened to a sermon by David Patten and Reynolds Cahoon. 1833 Following Patten’s sermon, they asked him to pray for their ailing daughter, Lois, and according to journals after laying hands on her, she was cured. (There are also stories of the daughter, 21 yrs old, making the request they lay hands on her). Not long after she was temporarily healed from TB, the family quickly joined the Church and moved to Kirtland sometime between 1833-1834. She ended up dying about 4-5 yrs later. -
Early Marriages Performed by the Latter-Day Saint Elders in Jackson County, Missouri, 1832-1834
Scott H. Faulring: Jackson County Marriages by LDS Elders 197 Early Marriages Performed by the Latter-day Saint Elders in Jackson County, Missouri, 1832-1834 Compiled and Edited with an Introduction by Scott H. Faulring During the two and a half years (1831-1833) the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lived in Jackson County, Missouri, they struggled to establish a Zion community. In July 1831, the Saints were commanded by revelation to gather to Jackson County because the Lord had declared that this area was “the land of promise” and designat- ed it as “the place for the city of Zion” (D&C 57:2). During this period, the Mormon settlers had problems with their immediate Missourian neighbors. Much of the friction resulted from their religious, social, cultural and eco- nomic differences. The Latter-day Saint immigrants were predominantly from the northeastern United States while the “old settlers” had moved to Missouri from the southern states and were slave holders. Because of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Missouri was a slave state. Eventually, by mid-July 1833, a militant group of Jackson County Missourians became intolerant of the Mormons and began the process of forcefully expelling them from the county.1 And yet in spite of these mounting hostilities, a little-known aspect of the Latter-day Saints’ stay in Jackson County is that during this time, the Mormon elders were allowed to perform civil marriages. In contrast to the legal difficulties some of the elders faced in Ohio, the Latter-day Saint priest- hood holders were recognized by the civil authorities as “preachers of the gospel.”2 Years earlier, on 4 July 1825, Missouri enacted a statute entitled, “Marriages. -
Orrin Porter Rockwell
Heroes and Heroines: Orrin Porter Rockwell By Lawrence Cummins Lawrence Cummins, “Orrin Porter Rockwell,” Friend, May 1984, 42 Listening to the Prophet Joseph Smith tell the story of the angel and the hidden plates, young Porter Rockwell’s adventurous nature was stirred. The Smiths and Rockwells, frontier neighbors in Manchester, New York, often visited each other. Although Porter was eight years younger than the Prophet, a bond of friendship between the two was quickly formed. Later, when Joseph needed money to publish The Book of Mormon, Porter picked berries by moonlight—after his chores were done—and sold them. When there were no berries to pick, he gathered wood and hauled it to town to sell. The money he earned was given to the Prophet. The two families remained loyal to each other, and when the Smiths moved to Fayette, New York, the Rockwells followed. Sixteenyearold Porter was probably the youngest member of the first group to be baptized into the Church, after it was organized in 1830. When the Fayette Branch of the Church moved to Kirtland, Ohio, Porter went with them. However, his stay there was short. Porter was sent with the first group of Saints to Jackson County, Missouri, the intended central gathering place for members of the Church. The elders often met at Porter’s home to discuss ways of protecting the Saints from the lawless Missouri mobs who were persecuting them. While he was in Missouri, Porter became a crack marksman with a gun. And he made several trips to Liberty Jail to take food and comfort to Joseph Smith and his counselors when they had been illegally jailed. -

Kimball Central Publications Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois ©2014 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 2nd edition, revised and enlarged, May, 1966 FOREWORD In the course of developing a book and manuscript collection and in providing reference service to students and faculty, a univeristy library frequently prepares special bibliographies, some of which may prove to be of more than local interest. The Bibliographic Contributions series, of which this is the first number, has been created as a means of sharing the results of such biblio graphic efforts with our colleagues in other universities. The contribu tions to this series will appear at irregular intervals, will vary widely in subject matter and in comprehensiveness, and will not necessarily follow a uniform bibliographic format. Because many of the contributions will be by-products of more extensive research or will be of a tentative nature, the series is presented in this format. Comments, additions, and corrections will be welcomed by the compilers. The author of the initial contribution in the series is Associate Professor of History of Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. He has been engaged in research on the Nauvoo period of the Mormon Church since he came to the university in 1959 and has published numerous articles on this subject. -
