Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
I met again to day with the Legislature of the State
of Deseret. The House of Representatives and Senate
sat in joint session. As there were two vacancies
in the Senate by the death of Bishop Newel K. Whitney
and Cornelius P. Lott the Governor appointed Wilford
Woodruff and Charles C. Rich to fill their places in
the Senate. I was also appointed by the Lieu Governor
as Chairman of the Committee on Counties in the place
of George A Smith who delivered his farewell address
to the Senate and had taken his departure to act
as Chief Justice of Iron County. Many bills came
up to day and passed the Legislature.
