Smith related a circumstance of a Mr Woodson who has got possession of the Land upon which the Temple Block stands in Jackson Co Missouri in 1857 Ferrymore Little was in Jackson Co & Mr Woodson said to him I have heard that your people expected to return to this country and ^Build^ a Temple on the Temple Block on my farm. Brother Little Answered to be sure they do. Woodson said you are a Hell of a set. G. A. S. also said He got a statement from Lewis Bidemon that the people of the towns of Warsaw, Carthage pontoosuc & Appanoose made up a subscribtion of $500 & paid it to Joseph Agnoe for Burning the Temple and He went & burnt it for that sum of money I spent the day in the office filing High Council Records
