description: Work at the Wisconsin Pineries was suspended in 1844 due to the death of the prophet Joseph Smith. The project began again in the fall as the company built log shelters in the Grand Coulee just south of the town of La Crosse. They held a conference on November 6, and rebaptized 69 members in Town Creek. They named the area “Valley of Lamoni" and Town Creek was called the “Waters of Helaman” from the Book of Mormon. By March 27, 1845 flatboats were built. That night they set fire to the log cabins and in the morning set sail down the river singing “Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise.”?
