scenes that have transpired within the
past week, have brought to mind
wildly the events of my life. Forty
five years, on the 18th of February last,

parents and their family undertook the
journey from England to this country,
at the imminent risk of my mothers
life, who was then in feeble health.
After six weeks spent on the Atlantic
Ocean, it was our misfortune to lose
our loved mother. Two weeks later our
vessel reached New Orleans; from
whence we journeyed to Nauvoo.
President Cannon then recounted
the events that transpired in Maui

9th, 1874, of Joseph and Hyrum Smith,

to starting on the long journey west to
this Territory. Said President Cannon.
