We tell of Mr. Stoddard and his family and we show how he made tin items. The tin shops were very popular, buckets, lanterns, skimming pans, tea pots, everything was made out of tin, even the 50 foot flying angel was made out of tin for the first Nauvoo Temple.
E/Williams and I did serve together one Sunday at the Wilford Woodruff home. I was so excited, we never serve together he is always at the Mission office on Sundays. We weren't very busy, he let me do all of the tours, wasn't that nice of him. The Mission office sent a couple over to talk to him about serving on a mission here, he wanted to be a teamster, right now E/Williams is looking for teamsters. When Woodruff built his home he didn't want to be cold, he put a fireplace in each room. Pres. Woodruff was quit a missionary, he loved his missions, would do what ever Joseph asked of him and was an honest man with his fellowmen, enough that after he was run out of Nauvoo he came back to fix a hole in his ceiling of his home, he wanted to leave his home in good repair.
