glass Railway Company bond signed by JohnW.Young as president,
Rulon S.Wells as Secretary and included his brother BrighamYoung
Jr. and other Mormon leaders as shareholders. JohnYoung was born
in Nauvoo, Illinois to Latter Day Saint apostle BrighamYoung and
Mary Ann Angell. As a young boy, John traveled with the Mormon
pioneers from Illinois to UtahTerritory. He was ordained an apostle
by his father in 1855, when he was eleven. He was called as First
Counselor to his father in October, 1876 until the First Presidency
was dissolved by Brigham Young’s death less than a year later in
1877. Young practiced polygamy and had 4 wives. He was arrested
in Denver from a complaint of his 3rd wife from Philadelphia when
he took a 4th wife in 1878. Young’s business practices and practice
of living in NewYork City soon brought him into conflict with oth-
er church authorities. In 1888, Joseph F. Smith accused Young of
unethically using church funds to maintain a lavish lifestyle. He re-
signed from the position of counselor to the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles in 1891. Rulon S. Wells was a Utah politician and was a
general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Rare and historic early Mormon railroad signed by son of Brigham
Young. ���������������������������������������������������������������������������Est.
