130 years ago today - Mar 1, 1885

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff] I am 78 years old this day Sunday morning I find myself at Bunkerville Lincoln County Nevada. I have been driven from My wives Children thence for the gospels sake & that to under the American flag & Constitution and this is the Case to day with the Presidency of the Church and Twelve Apostles & many leading men. This Because we have obeyed the Patriarchal law of marriage.
