Soon after I was married Alexander Wentworth, one of the men that shot
Strang, boarded with us for several weeks. He came back to the island to
visit and see how things were prospering. He was a fine looking and
intelligent man, very quiet in his manner. We had several other boarders
at the same time, people who came to see King Strang's Island. Alec, as
they always called him, was their guide to show them the best fishing
streams and take them to hunt ducks and wild pigeons. I often talked
with Wentworth about the shooting of Strang, asking him if he had any
regrets about what he had done. He said, "I have never yet regretted
what I did. The Mormon life was bad, and there was no good in it as I
can see and I would not live it over again for anything." The place he
liked to go best was to little Font Lake to the "Johnson House," his
wife's old "Island Home." This had been the second season he came. After
that he never came again and we never heard from him any more.
