Yesterday’s answer:
D A lock of the prophet’s hair
From
the life of Thomas Grover: During the
years from 1840 to June, 1844, Brother Grover was sent on three missions through
the states of Michigan, New York and southern Canada. In June, 1844 while doing
missionary service near Kalamazoo, Michigan, he was warned in a dream to return
to Nauvoo. He hesitated about the matter until the warning was repeated the
third time. Then he awoke his companion, a Brother Wilson, and they got up,
made it a matter of prayer and were told to go at once to Nauvoo. They did so,
taking the shortest route possible, and arrived at Carthage just after the
martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum. Hurrying forward, they
over took the company with the bodies and accompanied them to Nauvoo, where
Brother Thomas was requested to assist in the preparation of the bodies for
burial. During that service, at the request of Emma Smith, he cut a lock from
the Prophet’s hair which she divided with him.
