Detailed Analysis
A "five-fold" increase sounds like a lot. But, the number of marriages was small, so it doesn't take much to increase "five-fold." The author doesn't disclose that this increase was outside Utah.[1]
Date | Number of marriages | Location | |
---|---|---|---|
1890 | 7 | Mexico | |
1891 | 2 | Mexico | |
|
2 | Mexico | |
1892 | 1 | Mexico | |
1 | Canada | ||
|
2 | Utah temples | |
1893 | 2 | Mexico | |
1894 | 1 | Canada | |
6 | Mexico | ||
2 | Utah temples | ||
1895 | "About the same" | - | |
1896 (Utah gained statehood on 4 Jan 1896) | "About the same" | - | |
1897 | 2 | On ships at sea | |
9 | Mexico | ||
1898 | 9 | Mexico (no 1st Pres. approval needed; these were all local Saints in Mexico) | |
1899 | Permission for marriages in Mexico halted, some Utah and Idaho marriages |
The author's source should alert him to this, since Cannon mentions "two marriages" being performed per year. These two marriages were not in the United States. He uses Cannon's older figures, instead of Quinn's more precise tabulation. Yet, he elsewhere cites Quinn, so he should be aware of his work.
