Transcription

In the evening's dusk of 27 October 1842, Zina Diantha Huntington Jacobs and her husband, Henry Bailey Jacobs, sat down to supper. Zina was six months pregnant with their first child. Henry had recently returned from a mission to the eastern states and was about to leave on another. They had much to talk about for it was Zina's wedding day. That afternoon, Zina's brother Dimick had sealed her to the Prophet Joseph Smith as one of his plural wives.
