Francis M. Lyman was not going to run or go into hiding from U.S. marshalls seeking to arrest him for cohabitation. He was charged 85 days in prison and $200. He was alright with this, however, there was another issue. What was it?

a.                  They could not find a prisoner uniform for his 285 pounds

b.                  There was no room for him in the state penitentiary

c.                   He was recently asked to sit on a jury

d.                  As the territorial warden, there was no one to sign the prison guards pay checks

D   Susa Young Gates

From the life of Susa Young Gates:   Though she “admitted to not having a spiritual conviction of the Gospel until her fortieth year,” Gates was called to the general board of the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association, and twenty years later to the general board of the Relief Society.

The only woman given an office in the Church Office Building at 47 East South Temple, she was jokingly referred to as “the thirteenth apostle.” She advised, “Provoke the brethren to good works, but don’t provoke the brethren while doing so.”
