Scope and Contents

Copy of the minutes kept by the United Order of Joseph City, Arizona, from May 1876 to January 1887. The community was originally named Allen City but the name was later changed to St. Joseph in honor of the prophet Joseph. Still later, the name was changed to Joseph City because mail was confused with St. Joseph, Missouri. This copy was made by George S. Tanner. Considerable care was exercised to make it an accurate copy. Many of the spelling and punctuation errors have been reproduced.
