Alfred and Polly were endowed on htat last day and I imagine it was asceen of imcomparable drama. In those last days the mobs ranged about the town burning and looting. I imagine the night sky lighted up by the burning barns and homes while the Saints huddled where they could find safety. It was winter and cold for this was the time when the Mississippi froze over providing a frozen highway of escape as the Saints headed into the wilderness of the Iowa Territory. Everywnere Saints were preparing wagons and teams and packing their most precious belingings as they prepared to flee persecution, once again. In the Temple the lanterns burned through the night as the endowments were consumaated. I think that Brigham Young or others leaders must have come to the Temo;e with the word that they must stop and all flee for their lives. I noted that 500 endowments were done in that last day, one tenth of the total 5000 done in about two months. I wish we had a journal from Alfred and Polly for they surely had a story to tell. We had three ancestors endowed in Nauvoo and others were buried in the area before the temple was finished. Furnished from June Bosworth and our cousin Skip.
