180 years ago today - Mar 17, 1834

While at Avon, New York, Joseph Smith in a conference selected four men --- Bosely, McWithey, Nickerson and Orton -- to "exert themselves to obtain money for the present relief of the brethren in Kirtland, say two thousand dollars, which sum would deliver the Church in Kirtland," and Orson Hyde was asked to "tarry and preach in the regions round about, till the money should be obtained and then carry it to Kirtland."
