Show Cihzen, Press, Review - Wed., Oct. 26, 1988 - Page 12 pi So there wouldn't be any doubt on the part of the Missouri militia as to what they should do, Boggs issued his famous extermination order. Mormons who would not surrender their arms, sign over their real estate and leave the state by the end of 1838 would be killed. On October 30 about 30 Mormon men and boys were slaughtered at Haun's Mill by a militia force over 200 strong. On October 31 the Mormons were under siege at Far West, their fighting men outnum-bered four to one, by what appeared to be half the state of Missouri. The Mormon Alamo had ar-rived. Port was wearing a Bowie knife, named after the famous Alamo hero. It appeared the time had finally come when he would be able to use the skills learned from Slyvester Pussy. The Mormons were wearing white headbands to distinguish themselves from the enemy if the two armies became engaged in hand-to-han- d combat. Some Mormons welcomed the prospect of all-o- war with the Missourians. The skir-mishes and guerilla tactics of the previous few months had been frustrating and mostly unproduc-tive. Now, the uncertainty was gone. It was time to kill, or be killed, to stand toe to toe with the enemy and conquer or be con-quered. And since God in heaven would determine the winner, the Mormons would be victorious. Joseph wasn't so sure. The big problem, in addition to being greatly outnumbered, was that the Mormons were more than just a fighting force. Women, children, babies and old people were there too.

CONGRESS STRINGHAM Hospital begins bereavement group next Wed. One of the most traumatic oc-currences in a lifetime is the loss of a loved one. A six-wee- k bereave-ment group will be offered at American Fork Hospital starting Nov. 2 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Board Room. "As the survivor deals with the emotions and adjustments follow-ing a loss, a predictable grieving process occurs as a part of the healing process," explained Ms. Phyllis Hansen, Medical Social Worker and Grief Therapist. "Feel-ings of loss, anger, denial and de-pression are only some of the reac-tions which may be experienced. Holidays and special times are especially painful, when the ab-sence of the loved one is felt so keenly at these times. But they can be times of sweet remembering if planned for appropriately." These will be some of the topics discussed in the group. The group meeting will not be a lecture group, but rather a discus-sion of feelings and experiences. Some coping techniques will be taught in helping individuals deal with the stresses of grief. Hospice of IHC Home Care con-ducts bereavement support groups to support and comfort during this stressful time. Anyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge. |
