TESTIMONY OF HENRY MARTIN HARMON
WITNESS TO THE MARTYRDOM OF THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH
at Carthage, Hancock, Illinois, 28 Jun 1844

I, Henry M. Harmon, aged 25, do solemnly declare and affirm that on the 27th day of June 1844, I lived in Carthage and was on the cupola of the court house in Carthage when the anti-Mormon mob made their appearnace from the west. I came down from the cupola and arrived at the jail about
the time the mob did. They were painted black and mostly wore the uniform of the Warsaw Company. I saw the mob rush onto the guards who were stationed at the jail, when the guar fired upon them and a scuffle ensued. Some of the mob then went into the jail and I heard the reports of the guns fired inside. Joseph Smith came to the window, and then went back and in a few moments appeared again, and leaped from the window, when the mob fired upon him and he fell dead. The fifer of the Warsaw Company came running into the jail yard as Joseph fell dead, and brandishing his fife over Joseph, triumphantly exclaimed, "You were the ruination of my father. I will have revenge," and struck him several times on the head with hiw pewter fife, then fled with the company toward Warsaw.
I then went home and told my mother what had happened, and returned in a few minutes and saw Joseph who was set up against the well curb, and was informed that Stigall the jailor had set him up there. Stigall appeared very much alarmed. His room in the lower part of the jail being fired into through the window and his wife only just escaped being shot. I have examined many time where the ball lodged in the wall after being shot through the window.
In company with my mother (Hulda Vaughn Harmon) and step-father, (Loren E. Bassett) we moved that even 3 miles out of Carthage onto our farm. My Mother did not want to go, but my step-father insisted. Next day, with my brother, I returned to Carthage and found the town almost entirely
vacated.
