"Vienna Jacques was born on June 10, 1787. Although religiously inclined, Vienna was not able to find a Christian denomination that satisfied her. As she search for a church that 'characterized the primitive Church as it was recorded in the New Testament Scriptures,' she obtained a copy of the Book of Mormon. Later, she had a vision about the Book of Mormon and decided to ask God if it was true. After reading the book she received a divine confirmation and decided to travel to Kirtland, Ohio, where she was baptized in 1831." [p. 94] "It was from the account in the Millennial Star that Vienna Jacques read the narrative of the tarring and feathering of Bishop Partridge, which led her to indicate to the historians on that occasion that she was the woman who 'cried aloud.' However, she also gave a significant correction and addition, stating 'that the history of Joseph Smith was incorrect . . . where it gives an account of Bishop Partridge being tarred & feathered.'" [p. 97]
