JOSEPH SMITH HENDRICKS, son of James31 (Abraham12Henry1) and Drusilla (Dorris) Hendricks, b. 23 Mar. 1838 in Far West, Caldwell Co., Mo. The mother and baby were critically ill and not expected to live. The Prophet Joseph Smith was in the vicinity and James sent for him. Joseph Smith blessed Drusilla and she was promised health and strength. Taking the baby in his arms he asked if they had a name for him. Since they had not selected one, the Prophet, with James assisting, blessed the baby and named him Joseph Smith Hendricks. The mother and baby regained their health. Again we refer to the autobiography of his mother (#31) for the dramatic events in the life of this family. His father became an invalid a few months after Joseph was born and his older brother William joined the Mormon Batallion in 1846. Joseph at nine years of age became the main support for the family in their trek across the plains. They entered the Salt Lake Valley on 4 Oct. 1847. Upon the return of William from the Army they built a home in the fort wall and later at the Warm Springs Bath House which the family operated for the church. They made bread, served meals and operated the bathing facilities with the help of a negro servant, Bill, and two negro women, Cad and Chloe. On 4 Jan. 1857 Joseph married 1st SARIAH FIDELIA PEW, daughter of William and Caroline (Calkins) Pew. They were married by President Brigham Young. Sariah Fidelia was born 11 Aug. 1833. To this marriage two children were born in Salt Lake City; one died in infancy. In 1860 they moved to Richmond, Ut., where three more children were born. Sariah died at Lewiston, Ut. 16 June 1919 and was buried in Richmond, Ut. On 10 Oct. 1864 Joseph married as a plural wife, LUCINDA BESS, in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City, Ut. She was born 19 Dec. 1842 in Greenwood, New York. Lucinda, daughter of Juel Josiah and Laura (Richardson) Bess, was a twin, and her widowed mother with a family of seven children crossed the plains when the twins were six years old. Eight children were born to Joseph and Lucinda. These families lived in Richmond and Lewiston, Ut., and later moved to Swan Lake, Ida. where three of the children died. Joseph did contract building and freighting for the railroad. They later moved to the Snake River country in Idaho and established the town of Marysville. Land was cleared, houses built, saw mills constructed and an irrigation system established. He became Bishop James Henry Wilson's first counselor when the Marysville ward was organized. These families became stalwart pioneers of the large and fertile region. About 1915 Joseph moved back to Lewiston, Ut. He died in Tremonton, Ut. at the home of his granddaughter, 18 Jan. 1922 and was buried in Richmond, Ut. Lucinda died in Rigby, Ida., 16 June, 1925 and was buried in Richmond, Ut.
