Honored with a street name



Joseph Smith Jr. had five brothers (Alvin, Hyrum, Samuel, Don Carlos, and William). Winter Quarters had sixteen named streets, four of which were named after Smith brothers. Which two Smith brothers did not have a street named after them?


a.      Joseph and Hyrum

b.      Joseph and Samuel

c.       Joseph and William

d.      William and Alvin


Yesterday’s answer:


a.      Participate in the dance


On November 29, 1855, a special dance was held in the Social Hall to welcome back missionaries retuning from foreign lands. Jedediah M. Grant of the First Presidency directed the proceedings, noting that “those missionaries that cannot dance, and do not try, we shall consider have not fulfilled their missions this evening. He then led off in the dance, which he excepted in right and good earnest. The whole company caught the electric spark, and ‘good earnest’ characterized the exercises of the evening. . . . When the evening was well advanced, and the party had exercised themselves much in the dance, President Grant addressed the returned missionaries.”
