Accounts from the time referred to this sickness variously as typhus fever, spotted fever, meningococcal meningitis, and typhoid fever. The Smith children contracted typhoid fever, though physicians thought some showed symptoms of smallpox, scarlet fever, and cholera. In total, the epidemic claimed some six thousand lives, mostly children between three and nine years of age, whom typhoid targeted most aggressively.

Joseph Smith’s mother, Lucy, remembered Sophronia had struggled with the disease for 90 days when the nine-year-old suddenly lay motionless and stopped breathing. Wrapping Sophronia in a blanket and taking the child in her arms, Lucy paced the floor while neighbors in the room tried to prevail on her to accept that her daughter had died. Lucy persisted to the point of exhaustion, and Sophronia eventually awoke, gasped for air, and sobbed. She recovered and lived to 73 years of age (see Lucy Mack Smith, “Lucy Mack Smith, History, 1844–1845,” book 2, pages 10–11, josephsmithpapers.org).
