Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Exhumation of Parley Pratt Using precise archeological tools, workers near Van Buren, Ark., have carefully begun exhuming the remains of early Mormon leader Parley Parker Pratt. Workers hope to uncover the Mormon martyr's bones this week.
Pratt's remains will be returned to Utah for reburial next to four of his 12 wives.
"We're being very careful," said Robert Grow, Pratt's great-great-great grandson. "We're taking photos and marking everything we find."
The estranged husband of Pratt's 12th wife stabbed Pratt twice in the chest and shot him in the neck after tracking the couple down in 1856. Pratt lived long enough to ask to be buried in Utah. posted by gwarchol @ 2:00 PM | 1 Comments: At April 22, 2008 4:24 PM , Anonymous said... Bury him in El Dorado.

I guess they are shipping his remains to Utah. Wow.
Russians do have a reputation of being bad dudes. Just look at Fedor.
Who could we compare Parley to? He did have wrestling experience, especially since he hung around Joseph all the time. Joseph was known to have broken some guys legs wrestlign around with them.

I'd pay big bucks to piss down the bullet hole in his neck.
