WARREN BAYLEY
N'auvoo, Illinois, (Continued) When the Mormons arrived In Quincy, Illinois, after their hurried departure from Missouri, they received an unexpected welcome. A committee of Quincy citizens passed a resolution condemning the Governor of Missouri and urged cooperation with the new arrivals.
The futility of their 9 years effort to find a permanent home had depressed some of the Saints but the friendliness of Quincy citizens restored their optimism. Two large fanns at Commerce, Illinois and immediately the work of building a city was begun. Eater Smith re-named the place Nauvoo, which he claimed meant "beautiful place" in Hebrew. The Mormon dwellings had no more than begun to rise when an ambitious plan for foreign missionary work was maugurated. Brigham Young. Wllford Woodruff and others of the twelve Apostles were dispatched to England where their efforts met with singular success. By 1850 there were 28.000 members of the church in England and Scotland, and n.700 migrated to America between 1840 ami 1846. taking up residence in Nauvoo. As the city spread and flourished, the first intimations of opposition began to rumble here and thera throughout the countryside. The political activities of the Mormons were responsible. In February 1844 when Smith announced himself as a candidate for president of the United States hostilities came out in tlie open. The destruction, by the Saints, of a rival printing plant was the spark which set off the explosion. Anti-Mi rmon mobs were formed and prepared to sack the city. Governor Ford hurried to Carthage, a nearby village, and urged that no illegal steps be taken. He sent word to Smith to surrender promising him security from mob action. On June 24th Joseph and his brother Hyrum gave themselves up and were imprisoned at Carthage charged with exciting a riot. On January 27th Smith and his brother with two friends were in thei reception room of the jail, which bore no lock. Shortly after 5 o'clock a mob with blackened faces attacked the jail. A volley was fired up the starway. another from outside the building and Hyrum Smith, shot through (he skull, fell dead. Joseph ran to th' window and was poised, ready to ■leap out, when three musket balls struck him. The rioters, after ascertaining that he was dead, withdrew. The following day, the bodies of Joseph and Hyrum were taken to Nauvoo, where they were met by a mournful procession. When the time came for the burial, Joseph's wife, fearing vandals, had the coffins filled with rocks and the bodies werty
secretly burled beneath the Nauvoo House, a hotel then under contruction. Later they were moved again and buried under the springhouse floor by a trusted servant of Mrs. Smith’s. From generation to generation, the secret was kept by Smitn's descendants and it was not until 1928 that the hiding place was revealed and the remains placed in their final resting place on the grounds of Smith's former home.
