Over Memorial Day weekend, 2005, we travelled with the Cory and Scriber families to Nauvoo, Illinois, a
town on the banks of the Mississippi river that had been home to many of the members of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before religious persecution forced them west.  The Church recently
rebuilt the Nauvoo temple, which was destroyed by fire and a tornado after the Saints left Nauvoo
beginning in 1846.

Chelsea, with the Nauvoo Temple and statutes of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith in the background.  Notice the pillar of light
exactly above Chelsea's head.

Chandler in an historic graveyard in which some
of his ancestors are buried.
