[MORMONS - UTAH TERRITORY]. Woman’s Exponent. Brigham Young’s obituary. Edited by Emmeline B. Wells. Salt Lake City, 1 September 1877. 8pp., small folio (356 x 273 mm), unopened, small closed tear at inner margin, very faint dampstain at lower corners. THE BELOVED PROPHET HAS LEFT THIS MORTAL SPHERE TO JOIN THE PROPHET JOSEPH BEHIND THE VEIL. Brigham Young (1801-1877), the second President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) and a key figure in the early history of the Mormon movement, died on 29 August 1877. Young led the Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and under his leadership, the LDS established settlements and communities throughout the western United States. He would later serve as the second governor of the Utah Territory. The Women’s Exponent was a semi-official publication of the LDS Church, publishing articles advocating for women’s suffrage and plural marriage. The obituary, which fills nearly two columns, describes Young’s involvement in the suffrage movement as being a “true friend of Woman’s enfranchisement and progression”. Interestingly, his obituary did not make front page news and was inserted on page four next to a column regarding the woman’s grain movement in Utah.
