GEORGE M. HINKLE.
George M. Hinkle organized what was called "The Bride, the Lamb's Wife;" but it was weak, and finally disappeared.
There were some other minor movements which we need give but casual mention.
JAMES EMMIT.
James Emmit is mentioned as having gone off with a company soon after the death of Joseph Smith, but we have no authentic record of his movements, and think it unsafe to follow rumor.
GLADDEN BISHOP.
Gladden Bishop we have no authentic account of, so we can safely give him but a casual mention as the leader of one of the many movements of the time.
Others of whom we have no reliable information we must pass without special notice.
DAVID WHITMER.
In 1847 there arose another organization, effected through the efforts of Elder William E. McLellin, with which David Whitmer and others were identified. This organization had for its president, David Whitmer, but was an entirely different organization, and built on a different foundation from the movement which Elder Whitmer was supposed to have originated in the last years of his life, and of which we may speak in its time. This first organization was formed at Kirtland, Ohio, by William E. McLellin and others.
We will give the account as published in their organ, the Ensign of Liberty, edited by William E. McLellin.
