There wasn’t any mormon citation...nor did I indicate...that smith was killed in MO...only that some Mormon references that he would return there
Why MO?
Your statement might explain how I have previously found references confusing Carthage IL & Carthage MO.
I am not even sure if Carthage Mo has a lot of Mormons in it. I have been there and don’t remember seeing anything about it. Spent an unplanned weekend there once.
