William Clayton joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1838, becoming an important figure in church history. Friend and scribe to Joseph Smith, Clayton recorded the revelation on plural marriage, wrote the first history of the Nauvoo Temple, and penned the powerful hymn “Come, Come Ye Saints.” One of the original settlers of Salt Lake City, Clayton participated in a variety of religious, economic, and civil activities throughout his life. He experienced nearly all the joys and struggles possible for a church member of his day, and yet, following his own hymnal advice, “no toil nor labor” did he fear.
