Nauvoo, IL
Bishop Partridge, with seven others, including the Prophet, were present at the dedication of the site of the future Temple in Independence, Missouri.
At one time he was surrounded out in the woods by a mob that then ordered him to flee the county to which he replied, "I answered that if I must suffer for my religion it was no more than others had done before me; that I was not conscious of having injured any one in the county, therefore I would not consent to leave it." The mob then began to strip him, beat him, then tar and feather him.
He was present at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple and at subsequent ceremonies in that sacred edifice. He was imprisoned in Far West and sufferred many persecutions as did most.
He left with the Saints to Nauvoo and died there years later.
