[Nauvoo Temple] At 7:45 p.m. Joseph Young, assisted by twenty-five men who had remained behind to finish the temple, gathered in the first floor hall for a private dedication of the building by the men who had labored so hard to finish the building. During the services Orson Hyde and Wilford Woodruff joined them. The men occupied the priesthood stands, representing the order of the Priesthood. Joseph Young offered the dedicatory prayer. The men ended the services with the Hosanna Shout and retired to the attic, where there was a delightful banquet set for them.
