Blog Entry: Another Emma Mystery (1830) There are many unanswered questions on the life and events surrounding the wife of the Prophet Joseph. One seldom mentioned is the occasion of her baptism. Baptisms occurred on the day of the organization of the Church and some had taken place before April 6 1830. Why was Emma not baptized until June 28th of that year and then under the hands of Oliver Cowdery rather than her husband? Her confirmation scheduled for the following day was put off because of the arrest of Joseph on spurious charges but why was she not confirmed until August? Confirmations did not always immediately follow baptisms in the early days of the Church but certainly in the case of Emma, such a long delayed confirmation into the Church her husband was responsible for restoring is a little strange.
