young Charles made the acquaintance of Joseph Smith. However, not long after, 1844, Joseph Smith was

killed. Then during 1846 Brigham Young asked LDS members to abandon Nauvoo and the surrounding

area. The main body of LDS members located to Council Bluffs, Iowa area along the border between

Iowa and Nebraska. The Woodard family located at Atchison, Missouri just south of Council Bluffs,

Your tombstone stands neglected and alone.

The name and date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care. It is too late to mourn.

You did not know that I exist. You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our heart contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled so many years ago.

Spreads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so.

I wonder as you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot and come to visit you
