The Stone Box (1827) Often ignored in LDS history is the fate of the stone box in which the golden plates were deposited on Hill Cumorah and to which Joseph was led in 1827. Once the plates were removed neither the prophet nor anyone else appeared interested in the fate of the stone box itself. Almost fifty years later David Whitmer was interviewed by a Chicago Times reporter who wrote that "three times has he[Whitmer] been at the hill Cumorah and seen the casket (box) that contained the tablets and the seer-stone. Eventually the casket had been washed down to the foot of the hill, but it was [nowhere] to be seen when he last visited the historic place." Cook, David Whitmer Interviews, p. 7View more facts at: www.500littleknownfacts.com
