    Had to smile - my wife's family lived in Joseph for 100 years. They had 40 acers and a cabin "up by the old mine." Everybody talked about the old cabin - but nobody ever went - the family finally sold it around 2015.

Kinda creepy but we survived and left with some nice rocks. We did have a moment where we all looked at each other in terror though.... LOL.

      This is a story I read in the book Under The Banner Of Heaven by Jon Krakauer: When Joseph Smith told his first (and only legal) wife Emma that God had told him that he had to have more than one wife, Emma Smith responded that if Joseph got to have more than one wife, then she should get to have more than one husband. Apparently a few days later, Joseph got another message from God. This one said: "All Mormon women, ESPECIALLY EMMA SMITH, cannot have more than one husband."
