description: Apostle Lyman E. Johnson drowned in the Mississippi at Prairie du Chien in 1856. Henry Stebbins first visited the Ackerly family in 1863. Apostle Reuben Newkirk baptized the Ackerly family in 1863. They had been members of the old church and had returned from Utah to the states. The branch was organized on August 15, 1865, but may have fallen into disorganization.
