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.

Information taken from the History of Preston Strait Free by Mae B. Rose, Histories of
Louisa Free Wells & Hannah Free Wells, Vol. 8 Pioneer Heritage (pages 184 & 195),
and Heart Throbs (page 485).
Betsy Strait Free was born, January 30, 1804 in Kentucky, the daughter of Israel Strait
and Mary or Hannah Thompson Strait. She married Absalom Pennington Free on August 3,
l823. He was born March 22, 1798 in Burke County, North Carolina. He was the son of
Andrew and Mary Pennington Free. Absalom and Betsy must have made their home in Illinois
as that is where their first children were born. Louisa was born August 9, 1824, Emeline,
April 28, 1826, John Wesley, August 7, 1827, Hannah, June 9, 1829, Preston, March 13,
1831, Amanda, September 25, 1833 (died young), Telitha, October 1835, Finley C., July 7,
1838, Elvira, August 3, 1840, Oliver, November 18, 1842, Twins - Minerva and Marinda born
in 1841 died young.
Betsy's daughter, Louisa, relates that her father, Absalom Free, was a strict Methodist who
invited the members of his Church to hold their camp meetings at his home. These meetings
were extreemly sensational, the members working themselves up to such enthusiam in there
desire for salvation that they often had to be carried from the mourners into the house.
Betsy Free, who was a hard-shelled Baptist, thought these people foolish and even wicked
to carry on so. Naturally, religion was a bone of contention in the Free household, until two
Elders, Sineon Carter and John Brown called on the Frees and taught them the true gospel.
Absalom and Betsy could readily see this way of life was what they were looking for, and they
were baptized along with their two oldest daughters, Absolam parents and a large number
of relatives. This happened about 1834.
The Free family moved from St. Clair County, Ill. to Caldwell County, Missouri where some
of the Mormons were making their head-quarters. Absolam purchased a farm and built a
good house. He was considered very well-to-do.
The Saints had been driven out of Jackson County and the mobs were ravaging Davis
County, but there was peace in Caldwell County until July 4, 1838, when the anti-Mormons
came against the city of Far West, because they didn't like some remark that Sidney Rigdon
had made in the celebration.
When Absalom joined the organization for defense of the City, he left a sick son at home
with the womanfolk who, with five other families, had to defend their home and their lives.
Once while the girls were on guard on a ridge, they saw part of the mob harrissing an
prisoner. They were schocked to find it was their grandfather, Andrew Free, who they
threatened to shoot unless he would renounce, as they said, "Old Joe Smith and his d-m
religion. The faithful old Mormon bared his chest and told them to shoot, but he would
never deny his religion, which he knew to be of God. The leader declared with an oath,
that any man who could be that brave and true to his religion deserved to live. The mob
released him and he returned to his home.
Once when Betsy Free's daughter was standing guard on the ridge, she saw some men
riding toward the houses where her mother and the five other families were. She ran and
gave the alarm and the women and children hid in the corn field, but Betsy wouldn't leave
her sick son, even though he begged her to do so. Louisa wouldn't leave either of them.
Betsy armed herself with an ax and Louisa had a pair of fire tongs, then they stationed
themselves at either door of the cabin. It proved, however, to be friends that Absalom had
sent to see how they were making out.
After the Saints were driven out of Missouri in 1838 and 39, the Free family returned to
St. Clair County, Ill. and remained there until 1845, when they
