I Met with Brother Richards in our Historical Room
and we took into consideration the subject of comme-
ncing to Prepare Matter for the Book of the Law of the Lord from
the Death of President Young up to the Present time under President
Taylors superintendentcy and we found on searching that
in the History of Brigham Young it sayes that Orson Pratt
[was excommunicated] for apostacy and following his wife instead of the leader of the Church that he was cut off from the Church on the
20 day of Aug 1842. Also W. Woodruff Journals show
the same And He was restored to the Church, Baptized,
Confirmed, and restored to the Apostleship on the
20 day of Jan 1843 W Woodruff Journal says on
the 19 Jan 1843.
On the 4 day of May 1839 at a Conference held
at Quincy Ill. Orson Hyde and Wm Smith be
allowed the privilege of Appearing personally before
the next general conference of the Church to give an
account of their conduct and that in the Meantime they
be both suspended from exercising the funcsions of their office
Orson Hyde was restored to full fellowship on the 27 day
of June 1839, Also restored to the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles After making an humble confession. See W Woodruff
Journal of that date. See Star vol 26, 151
