This article describes the experience of Katharine Salisbury, sister of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and her family in Illinois after the martyrdom of her brothers. Her children were tormented and ostracized, and the family struggled to gain the tolerance and respect of their neighbors. Animosity was particularly high between them and the Duffs, a neighboring family who not only disliked "Mormons," but also had radically different political views. Tensions betweent the two families came to a head when Alvin Salisbury and Thomas Duff engaged in a fight that ended in Alvin's death. After this tragedy, the community began to warm up to the Salisburys and eventually treated them as citizens and friends rather than as outsiders.
