Title	Utah Gospel Mission Photographs
Subject	Religion in Ohio Missionaries Mormon Church Mormonism Wagons Horses Tents
Place	Cleveland (Ohio) Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Utah Idaho
Description	These eight 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.78 cm) photographs document the activities of the Utah Gospel Mission (UGM), an inter-denominational organization incorporated in Cleveland, Ohio in January 1900 to mount a national crusade against Mormonism. The organization acted primarily through missionaries, who traveled in wagons throughout the Mormon areas of the West, particularly in Utah and Idaho, distributing literature and speaking. Its peak years were in the mid-1930s. In addition to monetary problems, the organization had trouble keeping its field operations staffed. While the activity of the Mission continued through the 1940s, the death of J. D. Nutting in 1949 marked the end of effective operations. Members of the founding executive committee of the Mission included Dr. George H. McGrew of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Cleveland as president, Reverend Robert Moffett of the Disciple Church in Cleveland as vice-president, and Douglas Perkins of Cleveland Trust Company as treasurer. Other prominent members of the board of trustees included Reverend Charles F. Thwing of Western Reserve University, William Goodell Frost of Berea College, and Reverend John Henry Barrows of Oberlin College.
