We just visited the grave site of Alvin Smith – who died while Joseph was still in his youth.

Someone has upgraded his tombstone from the marble that was originally there to a granite marker.

It is wild to think of Joseph having stood at that very spot and having grieved over his brother – and then the excellent doctrines that flowed from that one experience.

The burial spot is on top of a clearly man-made mound just to the north of downtown Palmyra.  Perfectly flat on top and rectangular in shape approx 40′ high on the north side and about half as high on the south side, closer to town.

My wife and I walked the whole burial spot and wondered about it’s shape.
