Hiram Page

Hiram Page (c. 1800 – August 12, 1852) was an early member of the Latter Day Saint movement and one of the Eight Witnesses to the Book of Mormon's golden plates.

Joseph Smith Jr. arrived in August 1830 to discover Page using a black "seerstone" to produce revelations for the church.

[5] Martin Harris's brother Emer stated second-hand in 1856 that the stone was ground to powder and the associated revelations were burned.

[6] Apostle Alvin R. Dyer stated that he had discovered Page's seerstone in 1955, that it had been passed down through Jacob Whitmer's family.

[5] In January 1831, Page accompanied Lucy Mack Smith and a company of saints from Waterloo, New York, to Buffalo on the Erie Canal, on their way to Fairport and Kirtland, Ohio.

During the growing anti-Mormon hostilities in Jackson County, Page was severely beaten by a group of non-Mormon vigilantes on October 31, 1833.

Though there is no evidence of excommunication or withdrawal of his [preaching] license, after 1838 there is no record of Page's association with the main body of the church.

Page died on the farm he had bought in Excelsior Springs, in Ray County, still affirming his testimony of the Book of Mormon.
