Emma Smith, Oral History
No full textThis is a video recording of an oral history interview with Marie Emma Smith. It was conducted on May 25, 2007 in her home. The interviewer is Glenn Gainer.
In this interview, Emma Smith discusses life in the Philippines, and living under Japanese occupation during World War II. She also talks about her journey to America, and building her life here.
Emma Smith was born on March 1, 1930, in Manilla, Philippines, in a Chinese hospital. Her father was American and her mother was Spanish. Smith and her siblings were raised in the Catholic Church.
When Japanese occupation of the Philippines began in 1941, Smith’s father was imprisoned in an internment camp. Because of her mother’s Spanish citizenship, Smith and her siblings were allowed to continue to live in their home. They ate fruit from their own trees and sold various items to survive.
In July 1945, following Japanese occupation, Smith and her family left for the United States. They settled in Quinlan, Texas. Smith graduated from high school in 1947 and married her husband in 1948. They raised five children together.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1003/thumbnail.jp

Emma Smith\u27s 1841 Hymnbook
Get PDFAs specified by revelation, one of the responsibilities given to Emma Smith was to select hymns for the church. However, almost immediately after the revelation was given, tension arose as to who should compile the hymnbook and what its nature should be. This eventually led to more than one “official” hymn book for the church—the 1840 hymnbook created by the Quorum of the Twelve during their mission in England and Emma’s 1841 hymnbook. Whereas the apostles’ hymnbook focused mainly on restoration, millennial, and missionary topics, Emma’s felt more Protestant, focusing in many instances on the cross, the blood of Jesus, and grace. With the departure of the Saints from Nauvoo and Emma’s choice to remain behind, however, it was ultimately the apostles’ hymn book that was in a position to shape the hymnody for the present-day church

Explaining the Stigma: Emma Smith\u27s Reputation Among Latter-day Saints, 1860 to Present

Few people have ever elicited enough controversy to be publicly condemn by an LDS Church President, but Emma Smith is among them. Today, Emma Smith is a controversial figure among Mormons, but the reason she became so is less well known. Since the 1980s, LOS books and magazines have claimed her reputation is a product of her refusal to follow her husband\u27s church to Utah in 1846. However, there is no evidence that Emma\u27s reputation suffered among the Mormon populace until the early 1860s. Understanding why Emma became controversial among early Mormons will help us to understand why opinions of her are polarized to this day. While there are many arguments, analysis of early sources show that Emma first became a controversial figure among Mormons because from 1860 until her death she publicly claimed that Joseph Smith had never practiced polygamy
