James Strang was baptized by Joseph Smith, Jr. as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on February 25, 1844 in Nauvoo, Illinois. On March 3 of that year, he was ordained an Elder by Hyrum Smith, Joseph's brother. Shortly after Smith's murder on June 27, 1844, Strang announced that Smith had appointed him to take over leadership of the church. His claims were quickly rejected by ten of Smith's Twelve Apostles, who gained the support of most church members in Nauvoo. However, Strang managed to win enough disciples to form a viable organization of his own. Among the more prominent of these were four of the eleven witnesses to The Book of Mormon, three of Joseph Smith's apostles, a leading bishop of his church, and several members of Smith's family, including his mother. Nearly all of these later repudiated Strang, however. Many would later go on to help in founding the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which became the primary advocate of a non-polygamous version of the Latter Day Saint religion.
