Book Description
Who was King Follett? When he was fatally injured digging a well in Nauvoo in March 1844, why did Joseph Smith use his death to deliver the monumental doctrinal sermon now known as the King Follett Discourse? Much has been written about the sermon, but little about King. Although King left no personal writings, Joann Follett Mortensen, King’s third great-granddaughter, draws on more than thirty years of research in civic and Church records and in the journals and letters of King’s peers to piece together King’s story from his birth in New Hampshire and moves westward where, in Ohio, he and his wife, Louisa, made the life-shifting decision to accept the new Mormon religion. From that point, this humble, hospitable, and hardworking family followed the Church into Missouri where their devotion to Joseph Smith was refined and burnished. King was the last Mormon prisoner in Missouri to be released from jail. According to family lore, King was one of the Prophet’s bodyguards. He was also a Danite, a Mason, and an officer in the Nauvoo Legion. After his death, Louisa and their children settled in Iowa where some associated with the Cutlerities and the RLDS Church; others moved on to California. One son joined the Mormon Battalion and helped found Mormon communities in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. While King would have died virtually unknown had his name not been attached to the discourse, his life story reflects the reality of all those whose faith became the foundation for a new religion. His biography is more than one man’s life story. It is the history of the early Restoration itself.

Book Description
EAST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CALIFORNIA Established in 1878, the Byron-Knightsen-Brentwood Union Cemetery provides a final resting place for early pioneers, farmers and entrepreneurs in the upper San Joaquin River Delta. First established at Point of Timber, Colburn Preston sold 4 acres to the new cemetery district. Burial service began immediately as 7 bodies were disinterred from the nearby Sylvester Wills property at Point of Timber for reburial at the new location. The cemetery's most famous burial is that of pre-gold rush pioneer, Francis E. Wilder, née Donner (1840-1921). She is one of only five surviving daughters of the George and Tamsen Donner Party to escape the Sierra Nevada tragedy of 1846-1847. Here you will find 19th Century gold miners, grain barons, educators, booster newspaper editors, and the first woman licensed as a mortician in California. History comes to life as you visit one of the oldest cemeteries in the California Delta.
