[Hosea Stout Diary] Thursday Dec 9th 1847. Warm morning. Heavey damp snow falling fast in the fore noon. I went over the river to attach some property in the hands of Simpson Emmett Son of James Emmett to satisfy a demand against him for property taken away from one Coons, while he was in the wilderness with Emmett. Coons becoming dissatisfied was not willing to stay with them any longer so he was striped of all he had and sent away with his wife & children bare. Simpson Emmett had a cow belonging to Coons or one taken away from him at that time. I siezed on a horse & cart and some other articles of small value and brought them over to Winter Quarters
There was a Council today at which W. W. Phelps was formally cut off from the Church & John D. Lees case up[.] Most of his wives & adopted children were dissatisfied with him & I believe it was so managed to let all go free who chose when 2 wives & almost all of his adopted children stept out.
