| | Franklin D. Richards, General Authority |
 | | Richards, accompanied by Elder Cyrus H. Wheelock, sailed from Liverpool, homeward bound, on the steamer "Asia." At a meeting of the presidents of conferences, held in London previous to his departure, an affectionate and glowing tribute of esteem was unanimously dedicated to him. |
 | | His brother Joseph William Richards, a member of the Mormon Battalion, had succumbed to the rigors of the march and his wearied form had been laid in a lonely grave by the banks of the Arkansas river. |
 | | Later in the season Orson Pratt returned to England, and Franklin relinquished his place as chief, and became Apostle Pratt's associate for a few months; but with the opening of the next year, 1851, Orson was called to the Valley, and Apostle Richards was instated as the president. |
