  • The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. 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.

  • True Greatness
    CHAPTER 11 True Greatness “Giving consistent effort in the little things in day­to­day life leads to true greatness.” From the Life of Howard W. Hunter President Howard W. Hunter taught that true greatness comes not from worldly success but from “thousands of little deeds . of service and sacrifice that constitute the giving, or losing, of one’s life for others and for the Lord.” 1 President Hunter lived his life ac- cording to this teaching. Rather than seeking the spotlight or the acclaim of others, he performed daily deeds of service and sacrifice that were often unnoticed. One example of President Hunter’s relatively unnoticed service was the care he gave to his wife as she struggled with declining health for more than a decade. In the early 1970s, Claire Hunter began experiencing headaches and memory loss. She later suffered several small strokes, which made it difficult for her to talk or use her hands. When she began to need constant care, President Hunter provided as much as he could while also fulfilling his responsibili- ties as an Apostle. He arranged for someone to stay with Claire during the day, but he cared for her at night. A cerebral hemorrhage in 1981 left Claire unable to walk or speak. Nevertheless, President Hunter sometimes helped her out of her wheelchair and held her tightly so they could dance as they had done years earlier. After Claire experienced a second cerebral hemorrhage, doctors insisted that she be placed in a care center, and she remained there for the last 18 months of her life.

  • “The Osborn Files” the History of the Family of Charlotte Osborn Potter, Her Children, and Her Ancestry
    “The Osborn Files” The History of the family of Charlotte Osborn Potter, Her children, and her ancestry Written and complied by Steven G. Mecham Text only is given below THE CHARLOTTE OSBORN POTTER FAMILY The children of Charlotte Osborn Potter at the time of her death remembered their mother as a kind and indulgent mother and the instrument in the hands of God of their conversion to the Gospel of Christ (1). Her story and the lives are her children are intertwined and hence this record contains an accounting of their lives. Charlotte Osborn, was born April 14, 1795 in Pawlet, Rutland County, Vermont, the eldest daughter of Justus Osborn and Susannah Dickerman(2). She was found living with her family in Pawlet, Vermont in 1800 (3), but the family moved to Pomfret Township, Niagara County, New York between 1809 or 1810 (4). She moved with her family from Chautauqua County, New York westward to Erie County, Pennsylvania, settling in Fairview Township some time between 1815 and 1816. She along with her father attended the first Methodist class held in his log cabin in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1817(5). She met and married David Potter Jr. in Erie County, Pennsylvania in 1817 (6). They settled in then, Troy Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which later became Avon Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania (7). In 1820, the area was still more or less frontier, so settlements and counties were in flux Their first child, Benjamin Potter was born in 1818 (8), a daughter, Esther Potter, was born in 1819 (9). Neither child lived to adulthood.

  • Selective Bibliography on African-Americans and Mormons 1830-1990
    Selective Bibliography on African-Americans and Mormons 1830-1990 Compiled by Chester Lee Hawkins INTRODUCTION AFRICAN-AMERICAN MORMONS until recently have received little atten- tion, at least partly because of the limited bibliographical listings that coordinate the sources available for historical or scholarly research papers on their history. This bibliography, though selective, attempts to change that, to meet the needs of the LDS scholarly and religious community. This work catalogues a variety of reference materials on the role of African-Americans in Mormon history from 1830 to 1990. Included are books and monographs, general and LDS serials, newspaper arti- cles, theses and dissertations, pamphlets, and unpublished works such as journal entries, letters, and speeches, as well as materials relating to the 1978 revelation that "all worthy males" can be ordained to the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have divided the bibliography into nine major divisions and have included many annotated entries. It is my hope that this work will assist others who are interested in undertaking research projects that will lead to a more definitive and scholarly study of African-Americans' contributions to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This Selective Bibliography is important for all who wish to contribute to the study of African-Americans in the Mormon church. It is my hope that Latter-day Saints today will understand and appreciate the joys and struggles that African-Americans have had throughout the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. CHESTER LEE HAWKINS is the government document clerk for the U.S.
