unusual facts about Emma Smith: My Story


Emma Smith: My Story

Much of the footage comes from unused shots taken during the production Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration, which was produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the lead actors are in both films.


Emma Smith

On March 24, 1842 the Ladies' Relief Society was formally organized as the women's auxiliary to the church and Emma became its founding president, with Sarah M. Cleveland and Elizabeth Ann Whitney as her counselors.

For example, Hymn 15, changes Isaac Watts' Joy to the World from a song about Christmas to a song about the return of Christ (See Joy to the world! the Lord will come!) Most of these changes as well as a large number of the original songs included in the hymnal are attributed to William Wines Phelps.

Lewis C. Bidamon

In 1847, Bidamon married Emma Smith, the widow of Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement; from this time, Bidamon was the stepfather of Joseph Smith III and the other surviving children of Joseph and Emma Smith.
