845 Salt Lake & Fort Douglass Railway Co., Issued Bond.
Utah
Territory, December 31, 1884, $1000, Issued and uncancelled, 1st
Mortgage 6% Bond, Black with brown border and underprint,
Locomotive passes telegraph poles with small train in background,
XF condition, coupons attached. Salt Lake & Fort Douglass Railway
Company bond signed by JohnW.Young as president, Rulon S.Wells
as Secretary and included his brother Brigham Young Jr. and other
Mormon leaders as shareholders. John Young was born in Nauvoo,
Illinois to Latter Day Saint apostle Brigham Young and Mary Ann
Angell. As a young boy, John traveled with the Mormon pioneers
from Illinois to Utah Territory. 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 dis-
solved 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 New York City soon brought him into conflict with other
church authorities. In 1888, Joseph F. Smith accused Young of
unethically using church funds to maintain a lavish lifestyle. He
resigned 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. ...........................................................
