Yesterday’s
answer:
(C) A murderer
that escaped Utah law would die
From the life of Isaac Allred: He filled a mission to Great Britain in
1851-1855, and through his labor in the States and in England many converts
were brought into the Church. Soon after his return from this mission to Europe
in October, 1855, he moved to Ogden, where he resided with his two families
until the time of “the move” in 1858, when he settled at Ephraim, Sanpete
County, where his parents resided. There he remained till the next year, when
he was killed by Thos. Ivie, who assailed him over a trivial matter and beat
him with a burning stick from the camp fire May 11, 1859. He died the next day.
The difficulty arose over some sheep which Bro. Allred had in charge and which
belonged to Thos. Ivie. His murderer was tried and condemned to death, but he
managed to escape and went east. Pres. Young prophesied that Thos. Ivie would
apostatize from the Church and that buzzard’s would pick his bones. This
prediction was literally fulfilled, as the remains of Mr. Ivie were subsequently
found in a corn field nearly devoured by buzzards.
