Biography

Conversion to Mormonism

In late spring 1830, was the First Missionary Journey of Samuel Smith to the nearby town of Mendon, NY. At the time it was thought this mission was a failure since he could only hand out just one Book of Mormon and was otherwise met with much rejection and discouragement.

But in just two years time, that one book would come into the hands of the Greene, Young and Kimball families which would be the source by which many thousands would join the new church and also the source of many future prominent church leaders.

In Oct 1832, the Young, Kimball and Greene families moved to Kirtland Ohio to join the main body of the church there. The following year, Louisa and her family follows the church branch moving to Independence, Missouri where she died.
