110 years ago today - May 1, 1904

In Salt Lake City Hannah Grover Hegsted becomes the third wife (and second living wife) of Bishop Victor C. Hegsted fourteen years after the first Manifesto was issued, and a month after the so-called Second Manifesto. Their marriage had been approved by an apostle the year before. No disciplinary action is ever brought against them. However Hegsted is released as Bishop of the Salem, Idaho ward the next year and Hannah quits her position at Ricks Academy.

    The DMQ books are NOT the source for this entry. The correct source for this entry is DIALOGUE Journal 26:3 article titled "Hannah Grover Hegsted and Post-Manifesto Plural Marriage", by Julie Hemming Savage, pp.111-127.
