	:In the opinion of this gentleman, no man in Missouri possessed greater courage or honesty than this heroic old man [David Whitmer].

[Whitmer] was always a loser and never a gainer by adhering to the faith of Joseph Smith. Why persons should question his word about the golden plates, when they took it in relation to all other matters, was to him a mystery.		:In the opinion of this gentleman, no man in Missouri possessed greater courage or honesty than this heroic old man [David Whitmer].
