In offering to the public this work of reference, the author has the satisfaction of knowing that he has been conscientious in its preparation.

In regard to dates and incidents the work will be found reliable, although not perfect. As the sources of informa- tion have necessarily in some instances been confined to; current literature, and foreign affairs have been frequently dealt with, there may be a few technical errors. The author will be thankful to any readers, who may discover such mistakes, if they will direct his attention to them, that they may not appear in any further editions that may be published. ANDREW JENSON. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. This edition of Church Chronology, consisting of 25,000 copies,, is a thorough revision of the first edition, with many new features added, and the chronological thread brought down to the close of 1898. Before printing, the copy was carefully read to a com- mittee appointed by Historian Franklin D. Richards, consisting of As- sistant Historians John Jaques and Charles W. Penrose and Elder A. Milton Musser. Great pains have been taken to make the work accu- rate and in all respects reliable as a work of reference, and as such it is respectfully presented to the public at large, and particularly to those who desire correct information in regard to the Latter-day Saints and their most remarkable history. THE PUBLISHER. INTRODUCTORY. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized with six members, April 6, 1830, a^t a meeting held at Fayette, Seneca Co., N. Y. Since that time is has continually grown, and its members have steadily increased until the greater portion of Utah and parts of Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico are peopled with Latter-day Saints. There are also colonies of Saints in Old Mexico and Canada, besides branches and conferences in nearly every State in the Union and in Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia, Tas- mania, Hawaii, Samoa, Society Islands, Tuamotu Islands, and other countries. The Church in her gathered condition consists at the present time of forty organized Stakes of Zion, of which twenty-five are in Utah, or mostly so, seven in Idaho, four in Arizona, one in Colorado, one in Wyoming, one in Old Mexico, and one in Canada. The Saints in Nevada and New Mexico belong to Stakes, the headquarters ot which are located in Utah. The general authorities of the Church consists of, i , The First Pre- sidency; 2, The Council of Twelve Apostles; 3, Presiding Patriarch; 4. The First Council of Seventies; 5, The Presiding Bishopric; 6, Church Historians. THE FIRST PRESIDENCY. Joseph Smith the Prophet, "who was called of God and ordained an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the first Elder of this Church" (Doc. and Cov., 20:2), was the first President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For nearly three years after its organization he acted without Counselors, but close by his side and associated with him in nearly all his administrations, stood Oliver Cowdery, "who was also called of God, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the second Elder of this Church,and ordained under his (Joseph' s)|hand." (Doc. and Cov., 20:3.) March, 18, 1833, agreeable to a revelation given March 8, 1833, the Prophet Joseph ordained Sidney Rigdon to be his first and Frederick G. Williams to be his second Counselor. Prior to this, at a conference held at Amherst, Lorain Co., Ohio, Jan. 25, 1832, Joseph the Prophet had been acknowledged as President of the High Priesthood. A similar action was taken at a general council, held April 26, 1832, at Indepen- dence, Jackson Co., Mo. At an important conference held at Far West, Caldwell Co., Mo., Nov. 7, 1837, Frederick G. Williams was rejected as a Counselor to Pres. Smith, charges having previously been made against him at a conference held at Kirtland, Ohio, Sept. 3, 1837. On the same occasion Hyrum Smith was appointed his successor by unanimous vote. Hyrum Smith filled his position with honor and ability, until some time after the demise of his father, Joseph Smith, sen., who died at Nauvoo, 111., Sept. 14, 1840. o m r^ CO o ^ Q • " Pi CW ►J Ph' H T88 088 6i8 8A8 IA8 918 SL8 ti8 8i8 \IB 0i8 A98 998 598 f98 198 098 658 858 158 958 558 t58 1 ■■■■■I !■■■■■■■! !■■ ■■■■■■■ii !■■■■■■■! !■■ ffiiBHHa ■■■■■■■■■I ■■■■■■■■■I ^■■■■■■■nHBHI ■■■■■■nHH ■■■■■■IMH MMB ■■■■■■I ■■■■■■I ■■■■■■I ■■■■■■■■■ I ■■■■■■■U ! ■■Hi ffi riS alsassssaiJi ii !■■■■■! !■■■■■■■■«! INTRODUCTORY. Vll In a revelation given through Joseph the Prophet atNauvoo, Jan. 19, 1841, Hyrum Smith was called to take the office of Patriarch to the Church, as his father's successor. In the same revelation William Law was called to succeed Hyrum Smith as second Counselor to Pres. Joseph Smith. William Law occupied this position until April 18, 1844, when he, together with others, who like himself had apostatized, were excom- municated from the Church.. Joseph the Prophet was martyred at Carthage, 111., June 27, 1844, when the responsibility of presiding over the Church fell upon the Twelve Apostles. They constituted the presiding Council of the Church till Dec. 5, 1847, when an important council meeting was held at the house of Apostle Orson Hyde. On this occasion Brigham Young was unani- mously elected President of the Church, with authority to choose his Counselors, which he did by naming Heber C. Kimball for his first and Willard Richards for his second Counselor. The following Apostles attended this council meeting: Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, Willard Richards, Wilford Woodruff, Geo. A. Smith, Amasa M. Lyman and Ezra T. Benson. These transactions on the part of the Twelve were ratified by the Church at a conference held in the Log Tab- ernacle, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dec. 27, 1847, ^"^ ^^ ^^^ general con- ference held in G. S. L. Valley, Oct. 8, 1848. Counselor Willard Richards died of dropsy in G. S. L. City, March II, 1854. At the general conference, held April 6, 1854, Jedediah M. Grant was called to fill the vacancy thus created. Counselor Jedediah M. Grant died Dec. i, 1856, and Daniel H. Wells succeeded him as second Counselor to Pres. Brigham Young, being ordained and set apart to that position, Jan. 4, 1857. Daniel H. Wells acted in that capacity till the death of Pres. Young. Counselor Heber C. Kimball died June 22, i868,inSaltLakeCity. The vacancy occasioned thereby was filled by the appointment of George A. Smith to the position of first Counselor in the First Presidency. He served in that capacity until his death, which occurred m Salt Lake City, Sept. I, 1875. John W. Young succeeded him as first Counselor, being sustained as such by the general conference held Oct. 8, 1876. Pres. Brigham Young died in Salt Lake City, Aug. 29, 1877, after which the Twelve Apostles again presided over the Church, continuing to do so for three years, or until the general conference held in Salt Lake City in October, 1880, when the First Presidency was organized, for the third time, by the appointment of John Taylor as President, with Geo. Q. Cannon as his first and Joseph F. Smith as his second Counselor. Pres. John Taylor died at Kaysville, Davis Co., Utah, July 25, 1887, after which the Twelve Apostles presided over the Church till the general conference, held in Salt Lake City, in April 1889, o^ which occasion a First Presidency was again organized, consisting of Wilford Woodruff, President; Geo. Q. Cannon, first Counselor; and Joseph F. Smith, second Counselor. Pres. Wilford Woodruff died in San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 2, 1898. At an important council meeting of the Apostles, held in Salt Lake City, Sept. 13, 1898, the First Presidency was once more organized, as follows: Lorenzo Snow, President; Geo. Q. Cannon, first Counselor; Joseph F. Smith, second Counselor. By the foregoing it will be seen that five Apostles, namely, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff and Lorenzo Vlll INTRODUCTORY. Snow, have filled the exalted position of President of the Church; five (Sidney Rigdon, Heber C. Kimball, Geo. A. Smith, John W. Young and Geo. Q. Cannon) have acted as first Counselors; and seven (Frederick G. Williams, Hyrum Smith, William Law, Willard Richards, Jedediah M. Grant, Daniel H. Wells and Joseph F. Smith) as second Counselors in the First Presidency, since the first organization of the Council in 1833. COUNCIL OF TWELVE APOSTLES. In a revelation, given through Joseph the Prophet, in June 1829, at Fayette, Seneca Co. , N. Y. , the Lord made known that Twelve Apostles should be called in this dispensation. (Doc and Cov., Sec. 18.) Nearly six years later, on Feb. 14, 1835, at a special meeting, held at Kirtland, Ohio, Joseph the Prophet, in accordance with that revelation, blessed Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris, the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon, to select twelve men who should constitute the Council of Twelve Apostles. They were chosen by the Three Wit- nesses in the following order:. Lyman E. Johnson, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kinball, Orson Hyde, David W. Patten, Luke S. Johnson, Wm. E. McLellin, John F. Boynton, Orson Pratt, William Smith, Thos. B. Marsh and Parley P.Pratt./ Most of these brethren the previous year (1834) had proved their faithfulness and integrity to the Church as mem- bers of Zion's Camp, which journeyed from Kirtland, Ohio, to Missouri and back, subject to much suffering and many privations. They were ordained to the Apostleship by Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris as follows: Lyman E. Johnson, Brigham Young: and Heber C. Kimball on Feb. 14, 1835; Orson Hyde, David W. Patten, Luke S. Johnson, Wm.E. McLellin, John F. Boynton and William Smith on the following day, Feb. 15th; Parley P. Pratt on Feb. 21st; and Thomas B. Marsh and Orson Pratt, who had been absent on missions, in April, 1835. At a grand council, held at Kirtland, Ohio, May 2, 1835, at which the First Presidency was in attendance, the Twelve were arranged according to their age, after which they stood as follows, commencing with the eldest: Thomas B. Marsh, David W. Patten, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, William E. McLellin Parley P. Pratt, Luke S. Johnson, William Smith, Orson Pratt, John F. Boynton and Lyman E. Johnson. In 1837 and 1838 four of the Twelve apostatized, namely, John F. Boynton, disfellowshipped Sept. 3, 1837, at Kirtland, Ohio; Lyman E. Johnson and Luke S. Johnson, excommunicated April 13, 1838, at Far West, Missouri; and Wm. E. McLellin, excommunicated May 11, 1838, at Far West. July 8, 1838, John Taylor, John E. Page, Wilford Woodrufi and Willard Richards were called by revelation to fill the places of those who had fallen. Elders Page and Taylor were ordained Dec. 19, 1838; Wil- ford Woodruff April 26, 1839, at Far West, Missouri; and Willard Rich- ards April 14, 1840, at Preston, England. In the meantime other vacancies occurred. David W. Patten was killed in the Crooked River battle, in Missouri, Oct. 25, 1838, and Thos. B. Marsh was excommunicated for apostasy, March 17, 1839, at Quincy, 111. To fill the two vacancies occasioned thereby, George A. Smith (or- dained April 26, 1839, at Far West, Mo.) and Lyman Wight (ordained April 8, 1841, at Nauvoo, 111.), were chosen. INTRODUCTOKV. IX. William Smith was rejected as an Apostle, at the general conference held at Nauvoo, in October, 1845, and finally excommunicated from the Church, Oct. 12, 1846. John E. Page was disfellowshipped, Jan. 9, 1846, at a council meeting held at Nauvoo, 111. Amasa M. Lyman, who had been ordained an Apostle, Aug. 20, 1842, at Nauvoo, and Ezra T. Benson" ordained July 16, 1846, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, were chosen to fill the vacancies. The reorganization of the First Presidency in December, 1847, with three of the Apostles (Brigham Young, Heber C, Kimball and Willard Richards), and the excommunication ot Lyman Wright for apostacy, Feb. 12, 1849, made four vacancies in the Council of the Twelve. These were filled Feb. 12, 1849, at an important council meeting held in the "Old Fort," G. S. L. City, when Elders Charles C. Rich, Lorenzo Snow, Erastus Snow and Franklin D. Richards were ordained Apostles. The next vacancy occurred May 13, 1857, when Parley P. Pratt was assassinated near Van Buren, Arkansas. George Q. Cannon was chosen to fill the vacancy, being ordained an Apostle Aug. 20, i860, in G. S. L. City, Utah. In October, 1867, Amasa M. Lyman was dropped from the Council of the Twelve; and Joseph F. Smith, who had previously been ordained to the Apostleship, was chosen to fill the vacancy, Oct 6, 1867, at a general conference. Geo. A. Smith was chosen as first Counselor to Pres. Brigham Young, after the demise of Heber C. Kimball in 1868, Elder Brigham Young, jun., who previously had been ordained an Apostle, was chosen to fill the vacancy, being sustained as a member of the Council of the Twelve at the general conference held Oct. 9, 1868. Elder Ezra T. Benson died Sept 3, 1869, at Ogden, Utah. Albert Carrington was chosen to fill the vacancy, and was ordained an Apostle, July 3, 1870, in Salt Lake City. Orson Hyde, who had acted as president of the Twelve Apostles, from the reorganization of the First Presidency in 1847, ^o October, 1875, died Nov. 28, 1878, at Spring City, Sanpete Co., Utah. At the annual conference, held April 7, 1879, Elder Moses Thatcher was chosen to fill the vacancy. After the death of Pres. Brigham Young, in 1 877, -4he Twelve Apos- tles presided over the Church nearly three years. Daniel H. Wells and John W. Young, who had acted as Pres. Brigham Young's Counselors, were sustained by the Church as Counselors to the Twelve. Another reorganization ot the First Presidency took place, Oct. 10, 1880, at the general conference held in Salt Lake City, three of the Apostles (John Taylor, Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith) being chosen to constitute said Presidency. This caused three vacancies in the Council of the Twelve, two of which were filled Oct. 27, 1880, by the ordination of Francis M. Lyman and John Henry Smith to the Apostle- ship. Orson Pratt, the last surviving member of the first Council of Twelve Apostles, died in Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 3, 1881. The vacancy occasioned by his demise, and the vacancy left since October, 1880, was filled by the calling of George Teasdale and Heber J. Grant to the Apostleship. These brethren were called by direct revelation, through Pres. John Taylor, and were ordained in Salt Lake City, Oct. 16, 1882. Charles C. Rich died at Paris, Bear Lake Co., Idaho, Nov. 17, !■■■■■■■■■■■■« Oil WW Mn nil II ■■■MWmHmHMHBHW Wl IWll wfil U 11 11 1 «■■■■■■ !!iirfl"iiii III!

Taylor to the Apostleship, Oct 16, 1883. After the death of Pres. John Taylor, July 25, 1887, the Twelve Apostles acted as presiding Council of the Church for about one year and nine months, during which time Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith occupied their former positions as members of the Council of Twelve Apostles. At the general conference, held in April, 1889, the First Presidency was reorganized, with Wilford Woodruff as President. The vacancy in the Council of the Apostles caused thereby, as well as that occasioned by the excommunication of Albert Carrington, in November, 1885, and a third vacancy caused by the demise of Erastus Snow, May 27, 1888, were filled at the general conference, held in October, 1889, by the calling of Marriner W. Merrill, Anthon H. Lund and Abraham H. Canjion to the Apostieship. Abraham H. Cannon died in Salt Lake City, July 19, 1896, and Moses Thatcher was dropped from his position as one of the Twelve Apostles, Nov. 19, 1896. The two vacancies thus occasioned were filled at the general conference held in Salt Lake City, in October, 1897, v;hen Matthias F. Cowley and Abraham Owen Woodrufi were sustained as members of the Council of Twelve Apostles. After the death of Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Sept. 2, 1898, the Twelve Apostles once more became the presiding Council of the Church, and Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith were returned to their former positions among the Twelve Apostles. But the Apostles only retained the presidency a few days. Sept. 13, 1898, the First Pesidency was organized the fifth time since the organization of the Church, Lorenzo Snow, Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith being the three Apostles chosen to form the new Presidency. This caused a vacancy in the Coun- cil of the Apostles, which was filled at the general conference, held in Salt Lake City, Oct. 9, 1898, when Rudger Clawson was sustained as one of the Twelve Apostles. The Council of Twelve Apostles now stands as follows: Franklin D. Richards, president, Brigham Young, Francis M. Lyman, John Henry Smith, Geo. Teasdale, Heber J. Grant, John W, Taylor, Marriner W. Merrill, Anthon H. Lund, Matthias F. Cowley, Abraham Owen Woodruff and Rudger Clawson. PRESIDING PATRIARCHS; Joseph Smith, sen., father of the Prophet Joseph Smith, was the first Patriarch in the Church. He was ordained to that high and holy calling, Dec. 18, 1833, at Kirtland, Ohio, under the hands of the Prophet Joseph. Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Wil- liams. Father Smith continued as Patriarch until his death, which occurred at Nauvoo, 111., Sept. 14, 1840. In an important revelation, given through the Prophet Joseph, Jan. 19, 1841, Hyrum Smith, Father Smith's eldest living son, who then acted as second Counselor in the First Pre- sidency, was called to succeed his father as Patriarch. He "received" the office, Jan. 24, 1841, and kept it until his martyrdom in Carthage Jail, 111., June 27, 1844. ^is brother William Sm'ith, who was also a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles, succeeded him by virtue of his birthright, or age, but he apostatized. At the general conference, Xll INTRODUCTORY. held in October 1845, he was rejected as an Apostle and as a Patriarch. He was finally excommunicated from the Church, Oct. 12, 1845. After the rejection of William Smith, the Patriarchal office, accord- ing to the hereditary order belonged to Asahel Smith (a brother of Joseph Smith, sen.), who had been ordained a Patriarch at Nauvoo in 1844; but his health being poor, he is not known to have magnified his office as a Patriarch. Soon afterwards (July 20, 1848) he died at lowa- ville, Wapello Co., Ipwa. John Smith, another brother of the late Joseph Smith, sen., who had previously been ordained a Patriarch at Nauvoo, was ordained pre- siding Patriarch in the Church, Jan. i, 1849, at G. S. L. City, under the hands of Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball. He had been sustained as a "Patriarch in the Church" as early as the general conference, held at Winter. Quarters, April 6, 1847. Uncle John Smith, as he was familiarly called, died May 23, 1854, in G. S. L City. John Smith, eldest son of the martyred Hyrum Smith, to whom the Patriarchal Priesthood descended direct from his father, was chosen as his successor. At the time of his father's death he was too young to receive the office. He was ordained presiding Patriarch, Feb. 18, 1855, in G.S.L.City.by Pres. Brigham Young, and is the present incumbent of the office of Presiding Patriarch. FIRST COUNCIL OF SEVENTIES. The organization of the first quorum of Seventy was commenced at Kirdand, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1835. Nearly all the first members consisted of men who had distinguished themselves for their faithfulness as members of Zion's Camp. When the quorum was tuUy organized the following were chosen to act as its seven presidents; Hazen Aldrich, Joseph Young, Levi W. Hancock, Leonard Rich, Zebedee Coltrin, Ly- man Sherman and Sylvester Smith. Questions arose among some ot the brethren in regard to the corre- sponding grades of the Seventies and High Priests, and it was ascertained that five or six of the seven presidents had previously been ordained High Priests. The Prophet Joseph Smith, in a meeting held in the Kirt- land Temple, April 6, 1837, counseled these brethren, namely, Hazen Aldrich, Leonard Rich, Zebedee Coltrin, Lyman Sherman and Sylvester Smith, to join the High Priests' quorum, which five of them did, and the following named Elders were chosen to fill the vacancies thus created in the First Council of the Seventies: John Gould, in place of Hazen Aid- rich; James Foster, in place of Leonard Rich; Daniel S. Miles, in place of Zebedee Coltrin; Josiah Butterfield, in place of Lyman Sherman; Salmon Gee, in place of Levi W. Hancock, and John Gaylord, in place of Sylvester Smith. In the summer of 1837 it was ascertained that Levi W. Hancock, who was in Missouri at the time of the April meeting, was not a High Priest, and he was therefore received back into his former position as one of the First Seven Presidents of Seventies, at an important meeting held at Kirtland, Ohio, Sept 3, 1837. John Gould, one of the newly appointed presidents, was asked by the Prophet Joseph to join the High Priests, which he did. After these changes the First Council of Seventies stood as follows: Joseph Young, Levi W. Hancock, James Foster, Daniel S. Miles, Josiah Butterfield, Salmon Gee, and John Gaylord. INTRODUCTORY. Xlll Jan. 13, 1838, John Gaylord, together with many others, was excom- municated from the Church by the High Council at Kirtland, Ohio, for rising up in rebellion against the Church authorities. Elder Henry Harri- man was called and ordained Feb. 6, 1838, to fill the vacancy in the First Council of Seventies. In a meeting of the Seventies, held at Kirtland, Ohio, March 6, 1838, the council withdrew their fellowship from Salmon Gee for neglect of duty and other causes. Elder Zera Pulsipher was chosen and ordained to fill the vacancy the same day. The foregoing information about the Seventies is obtained from the original record of Seventies kept at Kirt- land, Ohio. After these two changes the council stood unchanged until the Church had removed to Nauvoo, 111. It appears that James Foster, instead of gathering with the Saints, settled at Jacksonville, Morgan Co. , 111. , and had no direct communication with his brethren. Prior to the October conference, 1844, he was dropped from his position by the council of the Seventies. In the following spring (1845), Albert P. Rockwood was called to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Foster. Josiah Butterfield retained his standing as one of the seven Presi- dents until a misunderstanding arose between theProphetJosephandhim, and he was finally cut off from the Church, Oct. 7, 1844, at the general conference held at Nauvoo, for neglect of duty, etc. The vacancy was filled the same day by the appointment of Jedediah M.Grant as one of the coun- cil of the Seventies, but he was not ordained until some time afterwards. Elder Daniel S. Miles died a taithful man in the early part of 1845, in Hancock County, 111., and the vacancy occasioned by his death was filled by Elder Benjamin L. Clapp, in April, 1845. Elder Albert P. Rockwood, Benjamin L. Clapp and Jedediah M. Grant were ordained to the positions to which they had been elected Dec. 2, 1845. After the demise ot Willard Richards in 1854, Elder Jedediah M. Grant was selected by President Brigham Young to fill the office of second Counselor in the First Presidency, thus leaving another vacancy in the council of Seventies. Elder Horace S. Eldrege was called, at the October conference, 1854, to fill that vacancy, and was ordained about the same time in G. S. L. City. Elder Benjamin L. Clapp, alter living some years in G. S. L. City, re- moved his family to Ephraim, Sanpete Co., where he had some difficulty with Bishop Warren S. Snow. After investigation before the Council of Seventies, he was dropped from his position in the council, and finally ex- communicated from the Church, at the general conference, held in G. S. L. City, April 7, 1859. Elder Jacob Gates was called to fill the vacancy, at the April Conference, i860, but, being absent on a mission to Europe, he was not ordained until October, 1862, some time after his return home. Elder Zera Pulsipher transcended the bounds of the Priesthood in the ordinance of sealing, for which he was cited to appear before the First Presidency of the Church, April 12, 1862. It was there voted, that he be rebaptized, reconfirmed and ordained to the office of a High Priest, or go into the ranks of the Seventies. Subsequently he was ordained a Patriarch. Elder John Van Cott was called to fill the vacancy in the council of the Seventies, at the October conference, 1862. Albert P. Rockwood died in Sugar House Ward, Salt Lake Co., Nov. 26, 1879, and at the April conference, 1880, Elder Wm. W.

XV or was called to fill the vacancy and soon afterwards ordained one of the First Seven Presidents of Seventies. The vacancies caused by the death of Pres. Joseph Young, July i6, 1881, and of Levi W. Hancok, June 10, 1882, were filled by the ordina- tion of Abraham H. Cannon as one of the First Seven Presidents, Oct. 9, 1882, and Seymour B. Young as another, Oct. 16, 1882. Elder John Van Cott died Feb. 18, 1883. Christian Daniel Fjeld- sted was called to fill the vacancy. He was ordained, April 28, 1884, after his return from a mission to Scandinavia. The demise of Elder Wm. W. Taylor, Aug. i, 1884, caused another vacancy, which was filled Oct. 7, 1884, by the ordination of John Mor- gan as one of the First Seven Presidents. Horace S. Eldredge died in Salt Lake City, Sept. 6, 1888, and the vacancy caused thereby was filled by the calling of Brigham H. Roberts to act as one of the council, at the October conference, 1888. Abraham H. Cannon having been ordained an Apostle in October, 1889, George Reynolds was sustained as one of the First Seven Presi- dents of Seventies, at the April conference, 1890. Elder Henry Herriman died at Huntington, Emery Co., Utah, May 17, 1891. Elder Jacob Gates died at Provo, Utah Co., April 14, 1892. The vacancies caused by the demise of those two veteran presidents were filled by the selection of Jonathan G. Kimball and Rulon S. Wells as members of the First Council oi Seventies. The former was sustained at the general conference, held in October, 1892, and the latter at the general conference, held in April, 1893. Elder John Morgan died at Preston, Idaho, Aug. 14, 1894. At the following October conference, Edward Stevenson was chosen to fill the consequent vacaacy in the council. Elder Edward Stevenson died in Salt Lake City, Jan. 27, 1897; ^^id at the general conference of the Church, held in Salt Lake City, in October, 1897, Joseph W. McMurrin was chosen to fill the vacancy. He was ordained by Apostle Anthon H. Lund in Liverpool, England, Jan. 21, 1898. The council now stands as follows: Seymour B. Young, Christian D. Fjeldsted, Brigham H. Roberts, George Reynolds, Jonathan G. Kim- ball, Rulon S. Wells and Joseph W. McMurrin. PRESIDING BISHOPRIC. Edward Partridge, the first Bishop of the Church, was called to that position Feb. 4, 1831, by revelation. (Doc. and Cov., Sec. 41.) Later, when other Bishops were t>rdained, he became known as the first or pre- siding Bishop. June 6, 1831, at solemn meeting, held at Kirtland, Ohio, Isaac Morley and John Corrill were ordained and set apart as counselors to Bishop Partridge. In a letter written by the First Presidency at Kirtland, Ohio, to Wm. W.

XVll appointments were not made; but at a meeting, held at Far West, Mo., Aug, I, 1837, Titus Billings was elected Bishop's counselor, in place of John Correll; and at a conference held at the same place, Nov. 7, 1837, Edward Partridge "was nominated to still act as Bishop;" after which he nominated Isaac Morley and Titus Billings for his counselors, and they "were unanimously chosen." These three constituted the head Bishopric of the Church during the life time of Bishop Partridge. Bishop Edward Partridge filled his responsible position faithfully, in the midst of the most severe persecutions, until his death, which occurred at Nauvoo, 111., May 27, 1840. In a revelation given through Joseph the Prophet, Jan. 19, 1841, George Miller was called to the position of Bishop, in place of Edward Partridge, deceased. (Doc. and Gov. , 124. 21.) In the same revelation. Sec. 141, the Lord says: "I give unto you , Vinson Knight, Samuel H. Smith and Shadrach Roundy, if he will receive it, to preside over the Bishopric. ' ' From the documents at our command at present, we are unable to learn whether or not the above named brethren officiated in the callings whereunto they were called ; but at the general conference, held in October, 1844, at Nauvoo, 111., Newel K. Whitney (who had been called by revelation to act as Bishop at Kirtland, Ohio, Dec. 4, 1831) was sustained as "first Bishop," and George Miller as "second Bishop" in the Church. From that time till his death Newel K. Whitney was recognized, and after April, 1847, sustained by the voice of the general conference, as pre- siding Bishop of the Church. He had no regularly appointed Counse- lors; but recognized Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball as his chief counselors and advisers. Bishop Newel K. Whitney died in G. S. L. City, Sept. 23, 1850. At the general conference of the Church, held in April, 1851, Edward Hunter, who had been ordained a Bishop in Nauvoo in 1844, was sustained as presiding Bishop. It appears, however, that he was not ordained and set apart to that position till a year later. Like his prede- cessor, he received immediate advice from Presidents Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball, and chose no other counselors until October, 1856, when, at the general conference, held in G. S. L. City, Leonard W. Hardy was sustained as first and Jesse C. Little as second counselor to Bishop Edward Hunter. Counselor Jesse C. Little resigned his position as counselor. At the general conference held in Salt Lake City, in October, 1874, Robert T, Burton was sustained as second counselor to Bishop Hunter. He was ordained and set apart to this position, Sept. 2,1875, after his return from a mission to England. Bishop Edward Hunter died in Salt Lake City, Oct 16, 1883. At the general conference, held in April 1884, Wm. B. Preston, who had pre- viously presided over the Cache Stake of Zion, was sustained as presiding- Bishop, with Leonard W. Hardy as his first and Robert T. Burton as his second counselor. Counselor Leonard W. Hardy died in Salt Lake City, July 31,. 1884. At the general conference, held in October, 1884, Robert T. Burton was sustained as first and John Q. Cannon as second counselor to Bishop Wm. B. Preston. 2^t=~. Counselor John Q.

By the Saints in Utah 1889 will be re- membered as the year when the question whether or not the Church to which they belonged could be robbed of its property by the government was laid before the su- preme tribunal of their country ; and also the question whether they could be rob- bed of civil and political rights as indi- vidual citizens, because of their religious belief. Abroad the missionaries met with considerable success, and a few were bap- tized in Asia Minor and Palestine. In New Zealand large numbers of natives em- braced the gospel, and the progress in Europe is shown by the fact that, during the year, 321 were baptized in Great Brit- ain, 572 in Ssandinavia, 219 in Switzerland and Germany, and 77 in Holland. The Book of Mormon was translatnd into the modern Jewish and Maori languages.
