He was murdered in November of 1845 by a mob that had already burned his home in September. It was rumored that the man who shot him won two gallons of whiskey for the deed. Whether or not that is true, the details of Edmund’s death are not nearly as fascinating as the details of his life. It is a fact that Edmund died true to the faith. More importantly, Edmund lived true to the faith.dmund was in his early teens, so Edmund moved with his grandparents to New York. Nearly a decade later, Edmund married Magdalena Pickle and proceeded to father 12 of his 13 children. The family eventually settled on a farm which produced a great deal of maple syrup. However, by trade, Edmund was a carpenter and a millwright. When new lands were opened on the frontier, Edmund felt the opportunity was too good to pass up. He took his family and moved to Ohio in June of 1830. December Edmund was asked to proclaim the gospel on a mission to New York with Elder Joseph Brackenbury. Many believed on their words—though, shockingly, Edmund’s companion was poisoned (and died!) by antagonists of the Church. Upon his return, Edmund was sent to Jackson County, Missouri to build up the newly revealed “Center Stake of Zion.” He loaded up his carpentry tools, his farming implements, and some seed grain, then he headed west. There, Edmund was part of group of 12 men who participated in laying the foundation for a home dedicated to the gathering of the 12 tribes of Israel. That fall, Edmund served yet another mission to New York.uction of the temple—he also added a thirteenth child to his family. Edmund and Magdalena were privileged to attend the dedication of the Kirtland Temple on March 27, 1836. Within the year, however, Edmund and his family were on the move—as were most of the Church members living in Kirtland. They headed for Caldwell County, Missouri. There they worked to perfect the Saints—though there were persecutions from without and dissensions from within. In fact, Edmund’s settlement was the site of a Church tribunal where several leaders were “rejected” for their misappropriations of Church funds. During the winter of 1838–39, Edmund assisted many poor and weary Saints who were driven from their homes. He made numerous trips to Illinois. He finally took his own family to Illinois in April. There they built a home in the Morley Settlement.t organized genealogy efforts of this family (and perhaps even this dispensation), Edmund and Magdalena were baptized in behalf of their deceased parents in November of 1840! The following spring, the cornerstones of the temple were laid, and the construction was begun. Because of his carpentry skills, Edmund again helped build the temple. Church. He was on a Stake High Council, housed visiting Apostles, and supplied foodstuffs to the Saints in Nauvoo. Indeed, Edmund was trying to bring in the harvest when the mob attacked that November night. Edmund’s life since joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been spent proclaiming the gospel, perfecting the Saints, and redeeming the dead. His violent death could not detract from his virtuous life. In the words of the Nauvoo Neighbor (a paper edited by John Taylor), “Mr. Durfee was one of the most industrious, inoffensive, and good men that could be found.” Edmund’s body was laid to rest in the Old Nauvoo Burial Gound.e and was sealed (by proxy) to Edmund for time and all eternity.
