  2. The eldest child of Brigham, Joseph Angell was only 40 yrs of age when he died suddenly at 8:45 p.m.. The DesNews of Aug.6 & 9th has the following:

    "congestive chills"

    "cramp"

    "complained much of the region of his heart."

    Joesph Angell was also a polygamist: 4 wives, 16 children per DMQ, MH:EP, p.722.
