From the life of Hyrum Smith
Harris: In the spring of 1885 he left
home to fill a mission in the northwestern States, and was assigned to labor in
Illinois. Just a month after leaving Salt Lake City, his father died. Two
months later, he experienced one of many severe spells of sickness, brought on
by a severe cold which settled in his face in a wound, he having been
accidentally shot July 24, 1878. During his sickness President King, of the
Indiana conference, offered him an honorable release, but when he refused to
accept it, he was promised that he should never suffer again with his broken
jaw. Although several fragments of bone later worked out, they were
unaccompanied with pain. Elder Harris writes: “Being clerk of the Indiana
conference, I had written out releases for several Elders who had finished
their two years, and was just finishing my own, when President Palmer suddenly
interrupted me by saying: “We cannot let you go home yet; we would like you to
go either to Beaver Island, among the Stragnites, or to St. Johns, Kansas, and
open up a mission among the Bickerton and Cadmanites, offshoots from the
Rigdonites. In company with Elder Swenson I went to St. Johns, where we made
many friends and baptized three of the apostles and their wives, of the Bickerton
church.
