Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 2
On this day I started on my mission East. Our company
consisted of myself and family and Dominicas Carter with my carriage
Brother Russel Homer had a waggon and carried with him Libeas T. Coones
John McMurry and David M. Gammit. The whole of us were eleven
souls in our company.
On the 6th day of our journey at the close of
a heavy thunder storm Elders Hyde and Johnson and other drove up
drenched with rain
Next day we reached Mount Pisgah and at night
held a meeting at that place which was addressed by Orson Hyde
and Wilford Woodruff, both constrained by the Spirit of God to speak
in much plainness to the people
On the following day I had an interview with
Aaron York President of the Branch who laid before me the state of
affairs concerning himself and the Church at Mount Pisgah
In the afternoon we held meeting. I addressed
the people and gave them counsel. Bro York followed and withdrew
from the Presidency of the Branch and we then appointed by the
voice of the people Edwin Whiting for President with brothers
Whiting and Demill for his counsellors
