Summary

On this episode, the election of 1842 has far-reaching consequences. We begin with a number of people getting sick in Nauvoo, then discuss the various meetings held to carry out the bankruptcy proceedings of prominent Nauvoo Mormons and all the drama with “lost” letters. Then we get into what the newly-elected representatives of Illinois had planned to attempt curtailing the political power and corruption in Nauvoo. William Smith opposes. After that, we go on a lightning round to finish out 1842 so we can begin 1843 in 2019 with a clean slate.

0:00.0	John Bennett was angry.
0:02.0	Because John Bennett had turned against the prophet and done other bad things,
0:06.0	he was excommunicated from the church and was no longer the mayor of Navu.
0:11.0	Joseph Smith became the new mayor.
0:13.0	John Bennett became bitter.
0:15.0	He left Navu and began to say and write bad things about Joseph Smith and the church.
0:20.0	He also got other people
0:22.1	to join him. Joseph Smith told some of the men of the church that the saints would have more
0:27.3	trouble. Someday they would have to leave Navu. Joseph foresaw that they would go to the
0:32.8	rocky mountains and build cities there. They would obey God and become a strong people.

1:15.8	Most of September, Joe was confined to the home, caring for Emma, who was nearing death due to illness.
1:22.8	This was common to the day. People taking ill would reach a certain point and be announced as
1:27.4	taken into death,
1:28.5	even though they weren't quite dead yet. Emma wasn't quite that far gone, but she succumbed to an
1:33.6	unknown disease at the beginning of the month, and Joe's journal is replete with entries throughout
1:38.1	all of September, October, and even into November of him caring for her. It's tough to know what may or may not have afflicted various people at this time.
1:47.5	I mean, I would postulate that Joe's life at this time involved possibly dozens of sexual partners,
