Lorenzo Snow: Information from Answers.com (1411 words)
Lorenzo Snow was the fifth child and first son of Oliver and Rosetta Snow, residents of Mantua, Ohio, who had left New England to settle on a new and fertile farm in the Ohio valley.
While living in Kirtland in 1837, Snow was called to serve a short mission in Ohio, traveling "without purse or scrip." He recorded that relying on the kindness of others for his meals and lodging was difficult for him, as he had always had sufficient means to care for himself.
Snow, and the members of his extended family, chose to move to Missouri in the summer of 1838 and join the Saints settled near Far West.
