An Early Trial of Jacob’s Faith

Jacob Hamblin



Jacob Hamblin mentions in his journal that while he and his family were sick and in need of water, someone came to tempt him. Who was it?


A)                 A Methodist class minister

B)                 Lilburn Boggs

C)                 Satan

D)                 The Missouri mob

Yesterday’s answer:


c.   The Bear River Massacre



His parents are Sagwitch and Tan-tapai-cci of the Northwestern Shoshone. Franks actual name was Pisappih Timbimboo and was a two year old at the time of the Bear River Massacre on January 29, 1863. His body was riddled with seven bullet wounds but yet he survived. A few years later he was adopted by the Amos Warner family and renamed Frank W. Warner. President John Taylor called him on a mission in 1880 to work among his own people. He served a second mission in 1914-15 working among the Sioux and Assiniboin Indians at Fort Peck, Montana.
