Catherine Lewis alleges Helen Mar Kimball confided to her that she felt deceived by Joseph.
Catherine Lewis, Narrative of Some of the Proceedings of the Mormons (Lynn, Il: Catherine Lewis, 1848), 19
The Twelve took Joseph's wives after his death. Kimball and Young took most of them ; the daughter of Kimball was one of Joseph's wives. I heard her say to her mother, "I will never be sealed to my Father, (meaning as a wife) and I would never have been sealed (married) to Joseph, had I known it was any thing more than ceremony. I was young, and they deceived me, by saying the salvation of our whole family depended on it. I say again, I will never be sealed to my Father; no, I will sooner be damned and go to hell, if I must. Neither will I be sealed to Brigham Young." The Apostles said they only took Joseph's wives to raise up children, carry them through to the next world, there deliver them up to him, by so doing they should gain his approbation, &c.
