Parrish's group initially believed that the early practice of Mormonism had been true, but that Joseph Smith had become a fallen prophet and subsequent practices had not been inspired. They returned to the church's original name and are known as the Church Of Christ (Parrishite) . By the beginning of 1838, the Parrishite church had taken control of the Kirtland Temple and Smith and his loyalists had gathered to Far West, Missouri . Parish later lost faith in the Book Of Mormon , which caused a falling out between himself and other leaders, including Martin Harris . Parrish became a non-Mormon minister and left Kirtland altogether. In 1850 he was living in Mendon, New York where he was listed as a "clergyman" by the census. By 1870, he had apparently lost his sanity and was living in Emporia, Kansas where he died in 1887. REFERENCES
