About time...:)

That's lovely Cricket - but where did you get the main picture of JS? It doesn't look very much like him at all - as shown by his death mask below it. He certainly didn't have those broad, testosterone-filled cheekbones - or indeed much of a chin.

Is this some Mormon propaganda version?

Is it correct to assume that you are from Paris Illinois?

Tom is from the real Paris.
not Idaho, not Illinois, not Texas.

I would love to go to Paris, Illinois, or even Paris, Texas, but I'm stuck in the French one for my sins ;-)

Nevertheless, I have to admit it's not too bad ;-)

Eggggggggggggggggggggcellent !

I'm not to far away from you, then.

Small world.

My favorite post ever. If there ever was a sex offender...it was Horney Joe.

I was disappointed not to see:


Employment Status: No visible means of support

Tom in Paris, some people think that the death masks got mixed up and the one we’ve seen everywhere is really Hyrum’s.

I wasn't aware of that, Kathleen, but there are quite a few images of contemporary images of Smith which show him with a somewhat beaky nose and a significant absence of chin. Certainly not as the mormon male model version shows him.

They were brothers, so maybe they resembled one another.

Similar male modelization can be seen in the photos of Hyrum here: https://eglisemormone.net/vie-mormone/histoire-mormone/5-choses-hyrum-smith-patriarche/

The photo does not resemble the mormonized portrait.

Cricket (HI, CRICKET!!), has the head shot. Here are two - both looking a bit touched up, well, the crazy eyebrows one does. That's my fave.

Dammit - hold on...

ETA: Ugh. you gotta wade through a shitton of crap Mormon idealized contemporary iconography to try to find something close to realistic. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Thanks Beth - that was the one I was thinking of :-D

He needs to be added to the Ohio and Missouri Sex Offender Registries also. And this time using his Nauvoo Legion Portrait.
