Kimball, Heber C.
Encyclopedia of Mormonism; See this page in the original 1992 publication.
Author: Kimball, Edward L.
Heber Chase Kimball was First Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church from December 5, 1847, until his death in 1868. One of the foremost men in the early years of the Church, along with the Prophet Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, Heber marched in Zion's Camp in 1834, was ordained one of the original members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1835, and experienced the spiritual manifestations that attended the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in 1836. He served two missions to Great Britain, in 1837-1838 and 1839-1841 (see Missions of the Twelve to the British Isles). Blunt, honest, loyal, and believing, Heber served the struggling Church well when steadfastness was among the most needed qualities. This is reflected in Joseph Smith's saying, "Of the Twelve Apostles chosen in Kirtland,…there have been but two [who have not] lifted their heel against me-namely Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball" (HC 5:412).

Heber C. Kimball was born June 14, 1801, near Sheldon, Vermont, to Solomon F. and Anna Spaulding Kimball. In 1811 the family moved to western New York, where, after scanty schooling, young Heber became a potter. He grew to be a physically impressive man, six feet tall and weighing more than two hundred pounds, barrel-chested, and dark-eyed. He married Vilate Murray in 1822. He, his friend Brigham Young, and their wives joined the Church in 1832, after a two-year period of inquiry, and in 1833 they moved to Church headquarters in Kirtland, Ohio.

In 1837 Elder Kimball received an assignment from the Prophet Joseph Smith to lead a group of missionaries to England. As the ship arrived in Liverpool, Kimball leapt ashore, thus becoming the first Latter-day Saint in Europe. His simplicity and spirit suited the men and women who heard him preach, and within a week nine persons sought baptism. On the morning of the baptism, Elder Kimball and his companions reported they experienced an attack by evil spirits, whom they saw distinctly in their room. Calling on God, they received deliverance from the dark power. Through their efforts groups of hundreds of English converts, commencing in 1840, began sailing to the United States to be with the main body of the Church.

After a year Elder Kimball returned to the United States and to Missouri, where the Saints experienced persecution. While Joseph Smith sat imprisoned in the Liberty Jail (Missouri), Heber and Brigham Young organized the removal of approximately 12,000 LDS refugees to Illinois.

When the Prophet Joseph Smith rejoined the Saints in Illinois and established Nauvoo on the Mississippi River, Elder Kimball prepared to return to England. On the appointed day he and Brigham Young took their leave from sick wives, each with a new baby, and were themselves so ill they had to be lifted into the wagon. Elder Kimball was gone from home for almost two years, until 1841.

Kimball participated in the building of the Nauvoo Temple and received the temple ordinances. Joseph Smith taught him privately that God required him to enter into plural marriage. After initial resistance, Elder Kimball married Sarah Noon. His anguish at keeping this secret from Vilate ended when she told him that the Lord had shown her that plural marriage was right, and that she accepted his participation in it. Kimball married a total of forty-three women (in many cases a caretaking rather than an intimate relationship), and by seventeen of them he had sixty-five children. He perceived his plural marriages as a religious obligation; Vilate accepted the other wives as sisters. Heber C. Kimball's grandson Spencer W. Kimball was President of the Church from 1973 to 1985.

After Joseph Smith's assassination in 1844, Church leadership was carried forth by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles under its president, Brigham Young. Elder Kimball stood next in leadership. The Saints soon had to abandon their homes in Nauvoo and flee to the Great Basin.

The brutal trek across Iowa, temporary settlement in Winter Quarters, and the pioneer journey of 1847 to the Great Salt Lake Valley occurred under Brigham Young's supervision, with Kimball as his assistant. In December 1847, at Kanesville (Council Bluffs, Iowa), the First Presidency was organized, with Brigham Young as president and Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards as his counselors. In summer 1848 President Kimball led one of three large companies of Saints to the Salt Lake Valley, where he established his families and supported them by farming, ranching, milling, freighting, and Church and civic administration.

The organization of Utah Territory in 1850 brought hostile federal appointees, but since the population was predominantly LDS, Church leaders had de facto control of the legislature. Heber served as leader of the legislature. Friction between the federally appointed judges and the Latter-day Saints led to U.S. President James Buchanan's sending federal troops to suppress a supposed "rebellion" of the Mormons. President Kimball helped direct the resistance.

A notably outspoken preacher, President Kimball often urged self-sufficiency, resistance to the corrupting influences of the larger society, and faithfulness to the kingdom of God. He frequently used metaphors from his experience as a potter. He prophesied accurately many times, including a prediction that Parley P. Pratt would go on a mission to Toronto, Canada, and find a people prepared for his message. He likewise prophesied that from there the gospel would spread to England. He correctly predicted that Pratt's invalid wife would bear him a son, even though the couple had been childless for ten years (Whitney, p. 135). He also prophesied to hungry pioneers in early 1849 that "in less than one year there will be plenty of clothes and everything that we shall want sold at less than St. Louis prices" (Kimball, 1981, p. 190). That summer, people traveling to the California gold fields dumped their excess supplies and equipment on the market in Salt Lake City and the prophecy was true.

President Kimball also shouldered special responsibility for the British mission and for all temple ordinances. His journals constitute important sources of Church history.

Heber C. Kimball died June 22, 1868, from the effects of a carriage accident, ending thirty-six years of unexcelled, dependable service to the Church.

Death - On the 22nd of October, 1867, died Vilate Murray Kimball, as noble a wife and mother, and as unselfish and devoted a Saint, as ever drew breath. Her loss was a heavy blow to her sorrowing husband. "I shall not be long after her," was the sad prophecy that fell from his quivering lips, as he followed the remains of his beloved partner to the tomb. In less than a twelve-month his words were fulfilled.

On the morning of the 22nd of June, 1868, death again entered the household, leveling his fatal shaft at the mighty heart of its patriarchal head. At the age of sixty-seven years, his mind yet unimpaired, his iron frame unbent by age, but with health shattered by toil and trial in the service of his Maker, Heber C. Kimball, the Apostle of Jesus Christ, the tried and trusted friend of God passed peacefully from earth away. Freed from his mortal prison-house, of sorrow and of pain, his mission here completed, he sought once more the scenes and society of his spirit youth in the realms of eternal rest.

MARY HILL CRISMON

Mary Hill was born 1 October 1814 in Pendleton, Anderson, South Carolina. Her father was John (Jehu) Hill and her mother was Martha “Patsy” Carlton or Carlin. Her history is quite sketchy. Her family moved to Illinois where her mother died in 1838.
So far as I can ascertain, Mary was the first child of John and Martha. Emily was born 25 Nov 1815 in South Carolina. Elizabeth and Jane were twins, born 14 Oct 1818 in South Carolina. Franklin was born in 1823 in Carlinville, Illinois. Adeline, 5 Oct 1831in Carlinville and John M. born 13 Nov 1832 in Carlinville, Macoupin County, Illinois.
Mary Hill married Charles Benjamin Crismon 6 May 1830 in Illinois. Charles was baptized in 1838 and, although he moved to Missouri to join the body of the Saints, he soon returned to his home in Illinois because Mary was so opposed to the church. What little we know of Mary was left by her children in later years. Her daughter Martha wrote that Mary joined the church after Charles was healed from a serious illness by the laying on of hands by the brethren.
Charles and Mary did eventually join the body of the church in Missouri in the fall of 1838. At this time they had four children, three living: Martha Jane, 18 Sep 1931; George, 5 Jul 1833; James, 8 Sep 1835 and died Jan 1837; and Esther Ann, 17Nov 1837. Also living with them in 1838 was Mary’s sister Emily Hill Harris (we might presume a widow). Emily later would become a plural wife of Abraham O. Smoot.
Mary and Charles and their family had settled on a farm about 25 miles from Far West, Missouri. After prayer one evening, Emily told Charles that he should take his family to Far West as soon as possible. The following morning Charles took his family to Far West, along with what possessions were possible in one wagon, leaving livestock, valuables, and their home. When Charles returned, the house was destroyed and all possessions and livestock either gone or destroyed.
When the Saints left Far West, the Crismons moved back to their old home in Illinois. Then they moved to Macedonia, Illinois. During this period, three more children were born in Illinois: Samantha, 27 Mar 1840; Mary Ann, 13 Feb 1842; Charles Jr., 14 Jun 1844.
When the body of the Saints was driven from Illinois, Charles and Mary Crismon and children left in February 1846, wintering on the Punca River, having a daughter, Emily Precinda born 18 Jan 1846 somewhere in the Pawnee Nation, Iowa. Arriving in Winter Quarters, Charles took his family north with Bishop Miller’s company, although they returned to Winter Quarters sometime during the winter. Charles was sent to Mississippi to help the Saints there prepare for the immigration West. Mary and children stayed in Winter Quarters. Fortunately, Martha Jane and George were old enough to be helpful to their mother. Because Charles had the ability to make money and accumulate possessions, I would doubt that Mary and her family went without the necessities. When Charles returned from Mississippi, he and son George made trips into Missouri to obtain supplies for the Saints on the westward immigration.
Charles and Mary Crismon and family went west with the Daniel Spencer Company of the Jedediah M. Grant Company, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley 4 October 1847. There are no records of anything regarding Mary during the brief time they lived in the Salt Lake area, although we know that Mary was pregnant again when they left for the gold fields of California in early spring of 1849, Ellen being born 18 Jul 1849 on the American River in California.
Mary’s last three children were born in San Bernardino, California: John Franklin, 14 Feb 1852; Cynthia Ann, 18 Jun 1854; and Walter Scott, 24 Aug 1856.
Without leaving a journal or any personal history, we see Mary living in the shadow of her prosperous, outgoing husband. Over the years, Mary finally accepted, evidently with some reluctance, Charles’ decision to take four plural wives. Although Mary most likely didn’t want for anything, she and Charles seem to have lived apart after his plural marriages in the 1860s. When Charles was called to colonize in Arizona in 1877, he took three plural wives, having divorced Christina Hassel. Mary chose not to immigrate again, whether because of the plural wives or because she was tired of colonizing, we cannot tell.
Mary stayed in Utah, living with one of her married daughters living in Weber County, as she died in Harrisburg, Weber County, Utah, on May 15, 1892 and was buried in Salt Lake City.
