Carthage

Monument of Joseph and Hyrum riding to Carthage for the last time. It is located accross the street from the Nauvoo Temple.

Monument of Joseph and Hyrum at Carthage jail. The jail is in the background.

This is the upper window that Joseph fell out after he was shot. They were moved here from the bared cell for comfort.



This the door to the room that the prisoners were in and the two bullet holes in the door, one on the edge above the door handle and the other above a little bit and to the left.




This a view of the jail from the side showing the upper window that the prophet fell out and the well that he landed by. The guard and his family lived in the lower floor. He sent his family away this night as he expected trouble.
