Manuscripts
Microfilm of the diary of J.R. Bodham, kept while he was preaching at various schools in Iowa and California between 1879 and 1888. The diary opens when Bodham was living in Iowa and preaching at Shenandoah, Manti, Summit, Mill Creek, and Dutch Hollow. It then traces his mission work in California, including at San Bernardino, San Diego, Azusa, Green Meadows, and Los Angeles. Also included in the diary is a chronology of Joseph Smith and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, various notes on John Taylor, a brief family listing for Charlotte Bishop Woods and William Bishop, and various Biblical quotes. The reel also contains two items related to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and its Southern California District.
