Note 173:A — Chapter IX · BRIGHAM AS PROPHET, SEER, AND REVELATOR.
Reading edition
The marriage of brothers and sisters was at one time openly encouraged by President Brigham Young. George D. Watt, reporter for the Deseret News, married his half-sister, and lived with her as a wife, for about twelve years. She passed as the wife of Young, for several years, owing to the presence of gentiles and the prejudices of the saints. She has since been convinced of her error, and joined the "new organization," and with her three children returned to the States.
