Zera Pulsipher
Zera Pulsipher (also Zerah) (1789–1872) was a leader and general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Birth: 24 June 1789, Rockington, Windham County, Vermont, Son of John Pulsipher and Elizabeth Dutton.
Death: 1 January 1872, Hebron Washington County, Utah
"I married a very agreeable companion," wrote Zera (or Zerah) Pulsipher of his wife, Mary. "Lived with her about one year when she died leaving one child which we named Harriett." A few weeks after her death, "she came to me in vision and appearing natural looked pleasant as she ever did and sat by my bedside and assisted me in singing a hymn--beginning thus: 'That glorious day is dawning nigh when Zion's Light Shall Shine.'" Years later he concluded the hymn they sand was to prepare him for the message of the Restoration.
Zera was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ in January of 1832 in Onondaga County, New York. For the next two years he presided over the branch of the church in that county.[1]
Pulsipher was one of the missionaries who brought the gospel to Wilford Woodruff.[2]
Pulsipher was one of the original Seven Presidents of the Seventy in the Church.
