Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
On the we baptized Mrs Susanna M. Sangiovanni at which I took great satisfaction for she was the daughter of David W. Rogers of Montrose. She was married to an Italian who was a very jealous man and an unbeleiver in the Bible or any of the word of God and he would not grant her any religious privileges. But this morning she had come to be baptized and returned home rejoicing with her whole heart. There was also one baptized the day before. This was Sunday and in the afternoon we communed with the Saints experienced a profitable time and had a full house and in the evening Elder Kimball preached to a full congregation and I followed him. The people paid good attention and the Lord was with us greatly. The Book of Mormon Entered At Stationers Hall.
