Charles Henry
I embraced the everlasting gospel in the month of June 1836. I was baptized by
Parley P. Pratt and confirmed by Elders Orson Hyde and Parley P. Pratt in the fall of
the same year
My father was a boot and shoe maker by trade, and he taught me the same business
until I was 15 years of age. I was somewhat adverse to this trade, and when we came
to Canada I was permitted to follow any occupation I chose. Accordingly, I chose to
follow farming, which I did until after the time I embraced the everlasting gospel. I
was ordained a priest in the Aaronic priesthood at conference held in Scarborough
Township in 1837.
We arrived in the state of Missouri in the early part of June, coming to a place called
Huntsville. I stayed with my father and went to work for a few months here. I first
became acquainted with Julia Ann Lockwood at this place. She was the daughter of
Joseph, and Annis Lockwood and was a member of the Church.

I was born in the town of Rainham, county of Kent, England in the year 1818. I
am the daughter of Stephen and Mary Ann Hales, and am the eldest daughter of a
large family. My parents were honest industrious people and when very young I
was taught to pray and to be honest and truthful. In my 11th year I became so
fascinated with the Bible that my leisure time was spent, after the labors of the
day were over, in reading and studying the history and incidents, the sublime
parables and teachings contained in that sacred work.
In the latter part of the summer of 1837 I had the great pleasure of being
introduced to, and entertaining, the beloved prophet, Joseph Smith, with Sidney
Rigdon and T. B. Marsh. I said to myself, "0 Lord, I thank thee for granting the
desire of my girlish heart, in permitting me to associate with prophets and
apostles." On shaking hands with Joseph Smith, I received the holy spirit in such
great abundance that I felt it thrill my whole system, from the crown of my head
to the soles of my feet. I thought I had never beheld so comely a countenance.
Nobility and goodness were in every feature.
