Miles p. Romney is another of the
| celestializers since the manifesto of
1890. He must not be confounded with
Miles A. Romney, whose several
crimes we have heretofore exposed. This
particular Romney married third or
fourth wife in the year 1892. Her
name was Mrs. Emily Wooley, a
widow, and she was originally Miss
Eyring, member of the family of that
name now living in Mexico. The wo-
man has several children, and lived in
a little white house across the street
from the old Juarez academy corner.
Romney continues to enjoy fellowship
and good standing in the polygamous
Mormon Church

assumed long after the manifesto, and
he keeps both women in the same house,
rearing families by both. He also is in
good fellowship and accepted standing
in the Mormon church.
Elder Abel Hardy, late of Colona
Pacheco, Mexico, but now living at
Salina, Utah, in 1904 took as his sec

he married as plural wife Miss Rhoda
Merrill of JuarcZ. This new plural
wife now resides at Waterloo. Salt Lake
City, and has a family. Previous to
her marriage to Jones she was engaged
to a Young man, also member of the
Mormon church, but she was induced
to break her promise to him and Join
the polygamous Jones, through constant
badgering by Melchisedeks over the
threat that she would not be able to
obtain salvation unless she became a
member of some Mormon polygamous
harem. Jones reposes in the bosoms
and condolences of his brethren.
Elder Heber Johnson once lived at
Provo and was married to Miss Min"
