Yesterday’s
answer:
B. Joseph
Smith’s death
Because
of the violent storm, the mob scattered and the battle failed to materialize. A
few days later, the army was attacked by an enemy perhaps even more deadly than
another army: an epidemic of cholera. Seventy persons were stricken, and
thirteen died. The Prophet subsequently disbanded the group in July 3. Most of
the men prepared to return to Kirtland. Others went to mission fields, while
some stayed in Missouri.
As conflicting reports about Zion’s Camp
reached Kirtland, the Saints there became alarmed. Rumors abounded. The local newspaper
in Chardon reported: “A Mormon Battle.—A
letter has been received, by a gentleman in this neighborhood, direct from
Missouri, stating that a body of well armed Mormons, led on by their great
prophet, Joe Smith, lately attempted to cross the river into Jackson County. A
party of the citizens of Jackson County oppose their crossing, and a battle
ensued, in which Joe Smith was wounded in the leg, and the Mormons obliged to
retreat; that Joe Smith’s limb was amputated, but he died three days after the operation.”
