Joseph & Hyrum, Martyred June 27, 1844, two brothers that were strong in their religion and strong in their friendship in life and in death. "Praise to the Man that Communed With Jehovah; Honored and blessed be his ever great name; Millions shall know Brother Joseph again; Death cannot conquer the Hero again." What a privilege it was to be here for this commemoration. E/Williams was over the program at Carthage, it was a memorial to a prophet that we all love. To be just outside the jail, below the window, and to hear the homage that was paid to him both in music (the YPM singing, YPM band and the 19 Sister Missionaries with a beautiful song) and in words was a blessing with the spirit so strong. The program started at 5:14, the time that Brother John Taylor's watch stopped working.
There were over 3 hundred people at the Carthage Jail, the missionaries had to still be at there post back in Nauvoo, so only a few were able to attend. I was a blessed one because I came to support E/Williams. The 'Community of Christ' also had one at noon at the Smith cemetery in Nauvoo, with most of the LDS missionaries doing the program. We are very helpful to them, they have very little to work with and very little man power.

Is Sister Meyer in that mass of missionaries?
Hi Uncle Steve and Aunt Linda! This is Laurissa, one of Boyd's daughters. I hope you are having fun on your mission. I would love to someday go to Nauvoo and visit the so many places of our church's history.
