"Kirtland, Ohio, was the original gathering place of the Latter Day Saints movement. Home to the first Mormon temple, the Kirtland area is also the final resting place for over a hundred members of the early church. Many of these Saints died in Kirtland during the Mormon period (1831-37), while others continued to live in the area long after most of their coreligionists moved west. In this essential resource for family historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in early Mormon history, Janet Lisonbee tracks down the burial locations and familial information of these early members. Also included are brief biographies that help to bring their stories to life." [Publisher's abstract]
