Yesterday’s
answer:
C To recover the dead
bodies of two of his missionaries
From
the life of B.H. Roberts: Roberts spent
most of the decade as a missionary in the Midwest, the Southern States, and
Great Britain. He worked first in Iowa and Nebraska, then Tennessee (1880-1882)
A
few months later, he returned as assistant president of the Southern States
Mission. Violence against his missionaries was commonplace. When Elders John H.
Gibbs and William S. Berry were murdered in Cane Creek, Tennessee, Roberts
shaved his beard and mustache, dressed in old, mismatched clothes, and rubbed
soot grease from the smokehouse walls over his face. So disguised, he entered
the hostile region and recovered the temporarily buried bodies for return to
Salt Lake.
