Compton's book on it, which is the most authoritative book yet, deals with this. Without messing up the details, it became apparent that the leadership was trying to keep Fannie away from Joseph more than Joseph not wanting Fanny. I also seem to remember the ages of the young gals was not as young as the apostates would have us believe. Fanny was about 16, not exactly an old maid, but not the 14 I originally thought. I believe Compton's book also pointed out it sounded completely consensual and she died married to her next husband.

HC Kimball's daughter, on the other hand, was 14. But they thought that might have been because HCK wanted to be connected to the prophet and to do it before she became part of the social scene. Last edited by splitbamboo; 04-18-2008 at 09:07 PM. |

That is true, but Compton concludes that this is an example of a dynastic marriage Joseph was truly cementing his ties to another important leader in the church. Though there is plenty of evidence he had sex with other of his wives there isn't any, as I recall, that he did with her. That doesn't mean he didn't but I know that Compton doesn't believe there was a sexual facet to that marriage.
