Carthage Jail
Carthage Jail, located in Carthage, Illinois, was the location of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyrum. Friends John Taylor and Willard Richards were also members of the incarcerated party, but were not killed. The group had reported to Carthage, the county seat, to face charges brought against Joseph. On June 27, 1844, a mob stormed the upper room of the prison and killed Joseph and Hyrum. John Taylor was badly wounded and Willard Richards was scathed, but not injured.
