“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”
Thus spoke wise King Solomon a millennium before the birth of Christ.1 As
America labored to give birth to a new nation, the United States Post Office
Department was born when the Second Continental Congress met in 1775
at Philadelphia and agreed to appoint Benjamin Franklin as the country’s
first postmaster general.2
During the nineteenth century, America continued to grow in popula-
tion as children were born and as immigrants crossed the Atlantic to the
land of promise. This growth not only caused America to lengthen her bor-
ders but also created the need for an expansion of mail service. By 1840,
both Britain and the United States were in need of a good source of com-
munication because of the migrant activities of both countries. In the spring,
Britain published the world’s first adhesive postal stamp to be used commer-
cially. This invention greatly benefited immigrants who were separated from
their family, friends, and homeland by the vast ocean. At this time, the pop-
ulation of the United States swelled to over seventeen million, which
included some 76,000 English and 207,000 Irish immigrants.3
In this same year, Latter-day Saint British converts began to gather to

There are many thousands Inhabitants in the vicinity of the Log Tabernacle,
which is situated on the Government Purchase of the Pottawattamies and in the
State of Iowa, whose interest is materially injured, and whose journey, business and
improvements, are retarded or distroyed by non intercourse; there being no Post
Office within forty or fifty miles of said Tabernacle, and the public good requires a
convenient office: Therefore, We your Petitioners, Citizens of the United Sates and
residents of said vicinage, pray your Honor, to cause, such an office to be located at
or near said Tabernacle without delay, to be called the Tabernacle Post office; to
appoint Evan M. Green Postmaster; and to cause the Semi Weekly mail of Austin
or Linden, to be continued to said office and your Petitioners, etc.13
living in the Kanesville, Iowa, region in 1848 but also in demonstrating the
strong desire for the Church to be granted official recognition by the feder-
al government so the Saints could establish their legal rights as United
States citizens.
What follows is a list of names on the petition as found in the Journal
History of the Church, dated 20 January 1848. These names were extracted
at some time from the original petition pages found in the Brigham Young
Office Files, Church Archives, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
However, during this extraction, many of the names were misread. The list
below was, therefore, checked against the original petition. These names
were then checked against five other sources, as shown below, in an effort to
correctly identify the individuals and to show where the individuals lived
and how many of those named were children:
are a few problems with the index. Handwriting in the original record is dif-
ficult to read, making exact transcriptions difficult to produce. Many of the
wards list only the widows, soldiers’ wives, and others, so the membership is
incomplete. As was the case in the Iowa branches, people often did not
remain in one ward or branch but moved to be with family or friends or
moved to better housing; therefore, in same cases, there are multiple listings
for an individual.18
The list that follows shows what has been determined to be the most
correct rendering of each name,20 the Pottawattamie County branch that
individual resided in (where known) or the initials PHC if the name is found
in the Pottawattamie High Council minutes, the Winter Quarters Ward the
individual resided in (where known), an X if a person is found in the 1850
Pottawattamie Census, and a comment section, specifically showing the
fathers and ages of their sons eighteen years old and younger. Some names
are obvious duplicates. Other common names, such as John Smith, are impos-
sible to correctly identify in any of the sources.

because of a meeting held in 1803 between Lewis and Clark and the Oto Missouri
Indians. He further adds that Church leaders governed about ninety temporary settle-
ments in this area. During the years 1849–52, the postal service received additional sup-
port for communication via the LDS newspaper, the Frontier Guardian, which was edited
by Elder Orson Hyde of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. (See “Council Bluffs, Iowa,”

appearing in the Woman’s Exponent titled “Called Home, Death of Elder Evan M.
Greene,” 11, no. 1 (June 1, 1882): 5, we learn the following information that was appar-
ently prepared by editor Emmeline B. Wells: Evan M. Greene was the son of John P. and
Rhoda Y. Greene and was born 22 December 1814 in Cayuga County, New York. He
joined the Church in 1831 and was an intimate friend of Joseph Smith. He served as a
high priest and was later ordained a patriarch in 1873. Evan died 22 May 1882 while trav-
eling from Salt Lake City to Escalante, Utah. He died the father of eighteen children as
well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren to whom he left a legacy of faith.
Evan served as a missionary to the eastern states and later served as the postmaster of
Provo, Utah, as well as the mayor for two years. In addition, he served on the legislature
for four years and worked as a farmer, stock raiser, merchant, and school teacher. (See

Publishing Company, 1913.)

11. Wilford Woodruff Journals, 18 January 1848, 3:310. The Journal History, 20
January 1848, notes that the meetings Woodruff refers to lasted several days. President
Brigham Young and others attended these meetings held in the Kanesville Log
Tabernacle, 16–20 January 1848, on the occasion of the Seventies Jubilee. On the last
day of the jubilee (20 January 1848), Brigham Young told the assembled Seventies that
the event “could not be considered a Jubilee spoken of in the revelation for all bands were
not broken and Pres. Young called it a jubilo.”
12. Journal History, 20 January 1848. The Austin Post Office was near Hunsaker’s
Ferry in Atchison County Missouri (present-day Hamburg, Iowa). Mr. Thomas Tuttle
worked as both the postmaster and a merchant at the Austin Post Office at the time of
this 1848 petition. Before the Post Office was established in Kanesville, the Saints from
Winter Quarters and Council Bluffs had to travel down a military trail to the Austin Post
Office for their mail. (See History of Fremont County, Iowa [Des Moines: Iowa Historical,
1881], 177–78.)
13. Brigham Young to the Post Master General, 20 January 1848, Brigham Young,
Office Files, Correspondence, LDS Church Archives. Note that an earlier draft of this
letter (located just before the letter noted above) indicates that the name “Council Bluff
Post Office” was considered before the name of the “Tabernacle Post Office” was select-
ed.
14. The fact that no women’s names were on the petition is probably because votes
Maurine Ward and Fred Woods: Petition for Kanesville Post Office 155
cast by women did not officially count at this time in America. Women’s right to vote
was not won until the Nineteenth Amendment was passed in 1920. A women’s suffrage
amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but it failed to pass. The amend-
ment refused to die, however, and was doggedly reintroduced at every session until it
finally passed in 1920.
