[Hosea Stout Diary] Wednesday Augt 4th 1847. Today was a council to take the Garden Grove case up again
President Fulmer, D. Mc[.] Arther[.] L. A. Shirtliff & Hunt had come here and had not heard that they had been cut off at Garden Grove[.] But learning it just before they got here they came to the council and demanded a trial which was granted & they was able to show plainly that they had not transgressed any law but had on the contrary done all they could for the welfare of that place and also that they had been opposed by evil designing men who had reported lies about them & fully satisfied the council of their inocence and good intentions. The result of which was that the Branch of the Church at Garden Grove was reinstated in full fellowship
President Fulmer made an able appeal to the council & the spirit of God rested down upon him. I was at the council most of the day.
