Can't locate such a refernce. Will continue searching. --- 2. William Dimick (Demick? Dimik?) was told by Joseph that he would never taste of death. --- This reference appears to be to William Huntington, and his father, Dimick Huntington. The Huntingtons were associates with Joseph Smith in Nauvoo. After he was instrumental in delivering Joseph from the mobs in Nauvoo, Joseph promised William that he would never taste of death. Madsen refers to this in a footnote-- William Huntington went west with the exodus and settled eventually in Springville, Utah. One night, forty-three years after the Nauvoo incident, just after going to bed he was conversing with his wife in the darkness. He said something and she replied. She said something and he did not reply. After two or three repetitions she lighted a lamp. Without a sigh or a shudder he had died. The family believed this was the fulfillment of Joseph's promise, which is universalized in the Doctrine and Covenants: "And it shall come to pass that those that die in me shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them; and they that die not in me, wo unto them, for their death is bitter" (D&C 42:46-47). See diary of Oliver B. Huntington, vol. 2, p. 271, entry of March 19, 1887. (Truman G.
