Albert H. Olpin

According to a second dispatch Elder Alpin was trying to convert a farmer's family in Williamsburg County, South Carolina.

"[4] A narrative account by Alpin's daughter stated, "In April of 1903 he was traveling with a new companion a young man by the name of Elder Burtosh.

Elder Burtosh, who was a younger man, got away, but they chased my father through five miles of swamps beating him unmercifully with their paddles and butts of revolvers.

Olpin was eventually delivered to the Lake City jail, and then to the South Carolina State Hospital for the Insane at Columbia but his traumatic head injuries were such that he remembered little of this period of time.

[6] Eventually his family sought assistance from President Joseph F. Smith to have Olpin brought back to Utah.

[5] Olpin was able to return to Pleasant Grove, arriving July 5, 1903,[6] accompanied by Dr. J. L. Thompson of the South Carolina State Insane Hospital.

[7] The Millennial Star reported, "The officials have shown him every attention and think he will resume normal conditions after a little rest.
