"Prophet's of the Latter-day" (part 2) (3a) John Taylor


Picking up from yesterday one cannot quite leave John Taylor alone. He was a very big man and had an excellent singing voice. He was in the Jail at Carthage when the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. was murdered by the mob.

(3a)
“John Taylor”
cji
4/3/19
Requested by Joseph
to sing one more time
‘A Poor Wayfaring
Man of Grief’
He again sang this hymn
in so doing did one thing
he bore Joseph’s testimony
one last time while alive
and then in spite of size
he came out unwounded
as he’d been told
by the Prophet Joseph!
