Description
Signed Kirtland Bank Note, being one of the original Kirtland bank notes, signed by Joseph Smith as cashier, a note for 10 dollars on demand to O.P. Goody or bearer. There is also a signed correspondence from Brigham Young, Governor as well as a Brigham Young Three Dollar Currency Signed 01/20/1849 Co-signed By: Thomas Bullock, Herber C. Kimball, Newell K. Whitney. In the fall of 1836, Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and other residents in Kirtland, Ohio, the majority of whom were members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints (known today as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons), began organizing a bank. They did this because the credit needs of the church, growing population, and ongoing land transactions required a local bank.They decided on a name, the Kirtland Safety Society BanK, and began selling stock in the bank in October. On 2 November, they drafted a constitution and elected officers. This constitution was printed in December 1836 as an extra to the church’s Kirtland newspaper, the Latter Day Saints Messenger and Advocate. An original of the constitution is available on The Joseph Smith Papers website.
