Read the September Newsletter for the full story of how this picture was discovered.  Thank you to David Turley (David – David – Richard – Edward – Edward – Isaac – Theodore) for sharing this exciting find with the family!

In June, 1839 Theodore Turley built the first Latter-Day Saint home in Nauvoo.

Through the home does not remain, the spirit does.  Theodore Turley was representative of so many early settlers who planted roots deep in Nauvoo’s soil.  A unique opportunity to commemorate Theodore Turley’s efforts, as well as the efforts of the thousands of early saints who settled here.
