Kirtland 2014

June 3-4 2014:  Most of the Ohio Cincinnati Mission senior missionaries visited Kirtland (a little over 4 hours from Cincinnati)                    
   

                                       Lots of farm land between Cincinnati and Columbus.

                                             
                                                                     Columbus Ohio 
                                             (about half way between Cincinnati and Kirtland)

                                                                                                                                                                          

The Johnson farm at Hiram, Ohio about 30 mile south of Kirtland.  Joseph and Emma came here from the Morley farm in Sept 1831 and left in Sept 1832. Joseph was tarred and feathered here and one of the adopted twins died of exposure.
