From the guide to the Lewis C. Bidamon and Joseph Smith III legal documents, 1849-1860, (L. Tom Perry Special Collections)
Lewis Crum Bidamon (1801-1891), Virginia-born settler of Canton, IL, at one time served at Lt. Col. of the 32nd Regiment of Illinois Infantry. In 1846, just as the Mormons were being driven out, Bidamon moved to Nauvoo, IL. He married Emma Hale Smith, widow of the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith (1804-1844). Bidamon engaged in various business practices in Nauvoo, including selling stock for the Warsaw and Rockford Railroad Company and operating the Nauvoo House, a hotel whose construction was begun by Joseph Smith and completed by Bidamon and his wife. Bidamon was also greatly involved in acquiring land in Nauvoo.
