Memorial to President Isaac Allred From the Southhampton Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
On his departure to Zion...
We the officers and members of the Southhampton Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints assembled this the 11th day of December 1854 deem the present a favorable opportunity of presenting Elder Isaac Allred with this Memorial as a faint expression of the love and esteem he has rekindled in our bosoms.
During the twelve months he has labored amongst us he has ever manifested great perseverance and untiring zeal for the establishment of the principles of truth and righteousness in the hearts of the children of men. We highly appreciate the readiness he has ever evinced and the great pains he has constantly taken to help with the best of counsel all who with meekness have sought to walk in the light of life.
Although during the period of his Presidency in the Conference there has not been so many baptized as in former years it is gratifying to reflect that a very great improvement has been effected in extricating us from the heavy burdens which were upon this conference. And we are proud to say at this departure--"We are free."
The paternal care with which he has watched over the interests of the traveling elders under his charge has begotten in their bosoms a feeling of gratitude which will never be obliterated from their remembrance.
His policy has given universal satisfaction and in our humble opinion he has honored the Holy Priesthood and sought to protect and advance the rights and interests of these around him.
These are some of the considerations which induce us to tender unto him this inadequate, yet hearty and spontaneous declaration.
In bidding him, For the present, farewell, we beg to assure him that our prayers to The Eternal Father will be that he may return in safety to the bosom of his family and friends with the love of a grateful people.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Brigham unceasingly watch over him for good. And in eternity may he be crowned with eternal life is the prayers of the officers and saints in the Southhampton Conference, Amen.
Signed in behalf of the Southhampton Conference:
James A. Willie, John A Hunt, George W Thurston, W. Harder, Johan Francis, Job Wellings--Seventies & Traveling Elders--Samuel Willie, William Hapley, James Cook, Edward White, Charles Mills, George Scory, Charles Gate--Presidents of Branches--William Duffin, James Quinton, William Wilde, William Sheff, John Toomer, James Hunt, Henry Thomas
