Our final winner in the trivia contest giveaway is Lisa Hawkins! Her correct answer was:
The three things Alex, Briggie, and Charles found in the Trotter’s Bridge cemetery were (1) The grave of Claire Prescott (found by Alex) with quote from Alma 36 engraved on it, suggesting that Elder Call had baptized her a Mormon; (2) The carving on the tree (found by Charles) saying that Jake McHenry had lynched Elder Samuels on that tree in 1857; and (3) Briggie’s discovery of Jake McHenry’s grave and its engraving that Jake McHenry was “scalped by savages and murdered.”
Congratulations, Lisa!
