Wow, Joseph sure looked stern. Bet he was a good sheriff. Nobody would want to cross him (smile).

He took an 8 year old orphan girl into his family in Nauvoo, IL and brought her across the prarie to Utah.

When she was 15 she fell in love with her tutor. The tutor was sent away, and she was married to Joseph L Heywood, a 46 year old man with two other wives. This was typical.

Today it would be called abuse, just as it truly is.

That’s really sad. These kids never had a chance at real happiness. And what’s sadder yet, it’s still happening.
