Hyrum Smith Artifacts

One of the neatest things about being a direct descendant of Hyrum Smith is being able to see the artifacts that have been pasted down from oldest son to oldest son. Last month we were able to get together again to see them. I was really excited for my children to see them. McKenzie was only 5 last time she saw them, Cameron was 3 and Abby wasn't even born yet. So I was thrilled for them to get the chance to see some of their heritage.

This is Hyrums vest that he wore. The right shoulder was cut away because it was so soaked in blood that it was eating away at the fabric.

Here are his clothes laid out. We are able to find his height by lining up his clothes and bullet holes. Hyrum was 6'3", quite tall for back them (even now).

Alvin had a box that was given to Hyrum after his death. This is the original box that Joseph kept the plates, Urim and Thummim and the breat plate in.

Here is Lucy Mack Smith's dinner/school bell.

Hyrum's dress sword, rifle, and Lucy's footstool.

Hyrum's perscrition sunglasses, his dress watch (which he took out before Carthage), and his old watch that he put in his vest pocket when he left for Carthage. It was hit by a bullet that came through his back.

This is where Alvin carved his name in his box.

These last two are two more bullet holes that Hyrum recieved after he had died. We know that he was already dead by the lack of blood around the wound.
