Joe Smith dedicated a Church of Latter Day Saints in Chicago . The Lancaster Daily Intelligencer carried the news On This Day in 1880. The dedication was the day prior. Joe Smith is referred to as a “son of the original Joe Smith.” The brief article notes also that the Church of Latter Day Saints is also known as the Joe Smith Mormons.
