Earlier Samuel had sold a book to Rhoda Greene's brother, Phineas Young. He read it and believed it was true, and he gave his copy to his younger brother, Brigham Young, who also read and believed it. Brigham Young then passed the book on, and eventually it reached Heber C. Kimball. Within two years these people and their families all became members of the Church, thanks to the Book of Mormon and the missionary efforts of Samuel Smith. Later, these men became leaders in the Church.
