notes: In 1861, David James is called to preside over Paradise in a "temporary organization," but he is commonly called "bishop" until he leaves in 1873, with no evidence of having been officially ordained. Then Henry C. Jackson is temporarily acting until Orson Smith is ordained in 1875. When did it actually become a ward?
