Yesterday’s answer:
B He friended members of the LDS
church
From the
life of Hamilton Henry Kearns: First Bishop of the Gunnison Ward,
Sanpete county, Utah, was born Sept. 17, 1817 in Brown county, Ohio, the son of
Matthew Kearns and Mahala Frazier. His father being a United States trapper,
the family resided in the woods most of the time. They moved to Iowa, where the
senior Kearns opened a carpenter shop on the Des Moines River, and while
resident there he befriended the “Mormons” who at that time were fleeing from
persecution to the West. On this account the enemies of the saints called him a
Jack Mormon, and he was subjected to considerable persecution on that account.
In the meantime he studied Parley P. Pratt’s “Voice of Warning”, became a
convert to “Mormonism” and was baptized in 1849.
