A Mormon missionary is persecuted in Indiana... Four Negroes are lynched...



Item # 693105

September 26, 1884

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Sept. 26, 1884  Page 3 has: "A Mormon Missionary Persecuted" which is a report from Salt Lake, Utah, noting in part: "...from a Mormon mission in Indiana...that he made no convert, but left his testimony against unbelievers. He claims to have been pelted with goose eggs...and with rotten eggs and rocks in Smartsburg, and to have suffered much from abuse...".
Also on page 3: "Four Negroes Lynched" "Taken From Jail and Hanged by a Mob at Meadville, Miss." "Strung Up to Trees in the Court House Yard...".
Twelve pages, very nice condition.
