Dear descendants of Hyrum Smith,
Some years ago The Hyrum Smith Family Association was formed as a 501 (c) (3) corporation, and several members of the Board of Trustees were named in the Articles of Incorporation. That Association / Corporation was able to raise money for the purchase of the Hyrum Smith home in Kirtland, Ohio, which has since been donated to the LDS Church. Now, years later, we would like to make this entity again into a vigorous and active corporation, dedicated to projects which promote the memory of Hyrum Smith’s family. Unfortunately, all but two of the original Board of Trustees have passed away. The two remaining, Eldred G. Smith and Rae Jean Davis, have signed a Resolution appointing additional members of the board. These new board members are: Eldred G. Smith, E. Gary Smith, Donald R. Poulter, Milton Smith, and Juana Terry.

The famous sculptor, Dee Jay Bawden has been commissioned to sculpt a likeness of Jerusha Barden Smith to be placed alongside the bust of Hyrum that is already in the home were she and Hyrum lived in Kirtland. It is anticipated that an appropriate tribute to her will be inscribed and placed with the statue.

The Mary Fielding Smith statue will be placed at This is the Place Heritage Park. She is a life-sized, bronze statue located by her restored home in the Joseph F. Smith Memorial Grove. We plan to have a short program and a special unveiling on her birthday, July 21, 2003, at 7:00 PM. The members of the family are all invited to attend. There will be signs to follow so the family can drive into the village near the Grove and park.

The 200th Birthday Celebration of Hyrum Smith will be held on February 13, 2000 in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square at 7:00 p.m. Elder M. Russell Ballard will speak and there will be a segment aimed especially for children so this is a family affair. We need to get this info out to as many of Hyrum's descendants as we can. So let everyone in your families know.
