FamilySearch.org/FamilyTree, Oct 2015
From the Journal of Amanda Barnes Smith: "My Husband's father, Chileab Smith and my husband's brothers, David and Sylvester, were all baptized, as also Betsy, Sylvester's wife. When David was baptized, Fanny, my sister (his wife), howled and screamed so that she was heard a half mile, she said she never would eat nor drink until he left the Mormons. She was as good as her word. She went eight or nine days until she was just about gone and would not put nor let a drop of anything go into her mouth. When her husband saw that she would die he sent and had his name taken off from the church record; his father soon followed, so by one woman, two men fell."
