PRIESTHOOD

My first ordination to the priesthood was when I went to the Endowment House to receive my endowments at the age of 15 years. This took place on December 4, 1874, at which time I was ordained an Elder.

I was ordained a Seventy by Ezra T. Clark in 1875, who was senior president of the 40th Quorum of Seventies. Later all the seventies of the town were organized as a body and presided over by Ezra T. Clark. I was one of the councilors and also the secretary. Later all the seventies of the ward were made members of 56th Quorum. The 74th Quorum was moved to Bountiful and the 40th Quorum to Cache Valley.
