Person:Israel Stoddard (4)

!There was some controvery as to his first name it was possible that it was Isaac. He and his wife both died and was buried "West banks of the Mississippi river, west of Nauvoo, Illn." Family tradition is that the parents embraced the gospel and went to Nauvoo between 1830 when they appeared in the Burlington county census, and 1840 when they were missing from the census, however his father William was still there in 1840. We know they were in Nauvoo when they recieved blessings in 1845. It is believed by some that they were then ill and infirm, making baptism a health problem. They were driven from their homes in Nauvoo and died , and were burried along the west banks of the river.
