St. Louis Part Three 'Carthage Jail'

Trish & Lisa w Joseph &; Hyrum out side the Jail. 

The Jailer living quarters.  The jailer's had a wife & about 3 kids who lived at the jail in 3other rooms.  They cooked & took care of the prisioners.   Joseph and Hyrum were allowed to eat at the jailors table, because the jailor liked them.


Keys for the room Joseph and Hyrum were kept in.  At first he was put on a ground level room called the debtors room because of the heat (June).  The day of the martyrdom he was up stairs just above the family quarters.

Really bad prisioners were kept here next door to where the Prophet was kept.

John Taylor was hid under a feather mattress  here, after he was shot.

Door to room, bullet hole, bullet struck Hyrum

Top of stairs, where mobers came up.  Taken from opening of room where Prophet was killed.

Hryum felled on the floor here ( blood soaked floor planks were replaced only a few months ago).

Window where Prophet jumped through, fireplace on left.


Looking down from window, at the well where Prophet fell from the window.  He was shot from the ground.  Here lighting struck and killed a mober who was trying to deface Joseph after he hit the ground.

Looking down the stairway to front door from which the mobers entered and come up.

Looking in to room from door, room small about 10 x 10.  4 men over 6' tall were kept here, only 1 single small bed.


Front of Jail, killing room on back side. 

Upper window & well; back side of jail.


Very moving, sober place
