LDS Church History in Philadelphia

I came across a very interesting article about the early LDS Church in Philadelphia. I found it from Googling one of my ancestors - Elisha Davis. He is mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, but so far I haven't seen him reoccur in the history. He was a missionary in a neighboring county, and may not have had much to do with Philadelphia. The article is also interesting to me on a personal level since I now live in Philadelphia and am a member of the LDS Church here. Here is the link to the article:Discord in the City of Brotherly Love: The Story of Early Mormonism in Philadelphia by Stephen J. Fleming. The early Saints in Philadelphia would be thrilled to know that we will enjoy a temple here in the future. Enjoy!
