125 years ago today - Feb 21, 1900

George P. Frisby and George D. Cole of the Church of Christ, Temple Lot ("Hedrickite"), meet with the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and Presiding Bishopric. Elders Frisby and Cole propose that their church, the LDS church, and the RLDS church each send four delegates to jointly agree on the construction of a temple at Independence, Missouri. After a discussion of the pros and cons, President Lorenzo Snow decides against the proposal because "he naturally feared some trick being played against us." However, he is willing to pay the travel expenses of the Hedrickite elders.
