Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 1
On the I rode to brother Levi Taylor's on Bloody, Ten;
and there learnt that Elder David Patten one of the first Twelve
had arrived and was at Col. Copeland's. This was to me glorious
news. I proceeded thence to John Rowley's where I had the pleasure
of an interview with Elder Smoot who had been with Elder Patten
and his wife for several days. He related the glorious news communicated
to him and gave an account of the endowments at Kirtland Ohio
relating that the Heavens were opened and angels were seen and
Jesus sitting on the right hand of the Father. I was farther told
that Elder Warren Parrish one of the first Seventy and some others
of the first Elders were expected to visit us and that there was
also a Seventcond Seventy chosen and that I was one of them. Two
days afterwards I had an interview with brother and sister Patten.
