The Man Who Shot Hyrum

The day that Joseph and Hyrum were shot, a man bragged that he was the one who killed the prophet’s brother. Who was this man?

d.      Thomas Ford’s (Illinois Gov.) brother

Yesterday’s answer:

(D)   Cheerful

“It was the disposition of the Prophet Joseph when he saw little children in the mud to take them up in his arms and wash the mud from their bare feet with his handkerchief. And oh how kind he was to the old folks as well as to little children. He always had a smile for his friends and was always cheerful.”
