Comments: #41. When Hosea was about eight years old his father moved with his family to Clinton, Ohio, and when he was eighteen years of age, he went to Tazewell county, Illinois, where he first heard the gospel, and where he taught school for a number of years. In 1837 he removed to Caldwell county, Missouri where he was baptized. After his baptism, Brother Stout shared in all the persecutions to which the Saints were exposed in Missouri. He participated in the Crooked river battle and was the first man to approach Apostle David W. Patten, after that hero had been mortally wounded. After the surrender of the Prophet Joseph and others into the hands of the mob militia at Far West in October, 1838, Hosea Stout, who had taken an active part in the defense of the Saints, found it necessary, in company with twenty-five others of the brethren, to flee northward, in order to save their lives, and after great suffering, the weather being cold, Brother Stout reached Quincy, Illinois, where his wife joined him in the spring of 1839. In the following fall (1839) he settled temporarily on Sugar Creek, Iowa, where his wife Samantha died November 29, 1839. At a meeting held at Commerce (later Nauvoo), Illinois, October 23, 1839, he was chosen as an Elder, together with many others. In March, 1840, he moved to Nauvoo, where he was appointed to act as clerk of the High Council. In 1840 he married Louisa Taylor. When the Nauvoo Legion was organized February 4, 1841, Hosea Stout was chosen as second lieutenant of one of the companies of that organization. Soon he became captain of one of the companies and advanced rapidly until he held the office of colonel and he also did service as acting brigadier-general. When the Missourians tried to kidnap the Prophet Joseph in 1841, Hosea Stout was among those who, at the risk of their own lives, placed themselves in the front ranks to rescue the Prophet from his persecutors. Brother Stout also served on the Nauvoo police force, part of the time as captain of the force. He was a most active and efficient officer in the defence of Nauvoo during all the mobbings and persecutions which culminated in the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and others, and finally in the exodus of the Saints from Nauvoo. When the Prophet Joseph, early in 1844, called for volunteers to go to the Rocky Mountains as explorers to seek a new home for the Saints, Hosea Stout was among the first to respond to that call, and though the expedition never started, he would have been willing to undertake any move of that kind in order to serve and save his people. In April, 1844, he was sent on a short mission to Kentucky. When a mercantile and mechanical association was organized in Nauvoo in January, 1845, Hosea was elected one of the twelve trustees in charge. Comments: #51. In 1850, Hosea had a household of 4, a real wealth of $200, and a personal wealth of $0. 2. In 1860, Hosea had a household of 9, a real wealth of $1500, and a personal wealth of $1000.
