I talked to a man who knew the family of the kids who did this. There were many eye-witness who saw the "prophet" of Mud Creek, (Joseph Smith) sink like a stone. But I am sure you have an excuse for this one, as well. |
First off Joseph smith sr. was not a prophet he was a follower of the Church that believed that his son was called of god to be the prophet he himself was no prophet yet he was a missionary. I would also consider taking any news article from this time with a grain of salt because they were so against the church they would come up with outright lies to discredit them.
