Lilburn W. Boggs
We are all
familiar with Governor Lilburn W. Boggs of Missouri and his 1838 issue of the
Extermination Order against the Latter-day Saints. As rotten as he may seem, he
wasn’t always this way. What ties did he have to the LDS church prior to
becoming Governor of the state?
a.
Even though
not a member, he paid fast offerings to the Church
b.
He once
attended priesthood meeting with Joseph Smith
c.
He rented a
room to Peter Whitmer Jr.
d.
It was him
who convinced the Saints to settle in the area
Yesterday’s answer:
a.
This is
where the bible that Joseph used in the Bible revision was printed.
The Bible
used by Joseph Smith in the bible revision was a “large family-style edition of
the King James Version printed in Cooperstown, New York, in 1828 was used. The
Prophet and Oliver purchased this Bible on October 8, 1829, from E. B. Grandin,
at Palmyra, for $3.75.”
