਀ Postcard from Whitingham, Vermont਀㰀倀 㸀 Famous polygamist  Brigham Young  came into the world here. He led the Mormons from ਀㰀䈀刀㸀 Illinois to Utah,  adding  wives  as he went,  until he had  27.   When he  got to the valley of ਀㰀䈀刀㸀 the  Great  Salt  Lake,  he said  “This  is the  place,”  and stayed.  But   Vermont  has  not਀㰀䈀刀㸀 forgotten him. A hundred years ago, a local farmer took a buggy ride with his wife. When਀㰀䈀刀㸀 they returned,  someone had placed a large stone  marker twenty feet from  their  house, ਀㰀䈀刀㸀 which still says today: BRIGHAM  YOUNG: BORN  ON  THIS  SPOT  1801  A  MAN  OF਀㰀䈀刀㸀 MUCH COURAGE AND SUPERB EQUIPMENT. ਀㰀倀㸀 ਀㰀䘀伀一吀 匀䤀娀䔀㴀∀ⴀ㄀∀㸀䄀 最爀愀渀搀 漀氀搀 瀀愀搀搀氀攀戀漀愀琀Ⰰ 挀漀洀戀甀猀琀椀漀渀 瀀漀眀攀爀攀搀Ⰰ 琀愀欀攀猀 琀漀甀爀椀猀琀猀 漀甀琀 漀渀 琀栀攀 爀攀猀攀爀瘀漀椀爀Ⰰ 眀栀椀挀栀
