The last testimony of Martin Harris, 1928.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122699596

Typewritten statement with handwritten corrections. The item was notarized. Homer affirms that he met Martin Harris (1783-1875) in 1869 when returning from a mission for the Mormon Church. He recounts the conversatin, much of it word for word, between him and Harris as that time. He also told the second president of the Mormon Church, Brigham Young (1801-1877), about this incident. Homer also tells, again verbatim, what Harris said on his death bed in 1875. Homer states that on each occasion Harris affirmed that the Book of Mormon was true and that the first president of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith (1805-1844), was indeed a prophet. Also included is a statement signed by F. Harris that he heard Homer recount these experiences in 1928.
