Alvin Smith (brother of Joseph Smith)
Alvin Smith (February 11, 1798 – November 19, 1823) was the eldest brother of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Alvin took a leading role in helping the Smith family work toward paying their debts and building their home. His death at age 25 resulted in his younger brother Joseph taking more of a leading role in family affairs. A vision claimed by Joseph Smith is said to have included Alvin's presence and played a significant role in the establishment of the Mormon doctrines of redemption of those who die without a knowledge of the gospel and baptism of the dead.
== Early life==
Alvin Smith was born in 1798, the first surviving child of Joseph Smith, Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith. During his youth, Smith worked as a carpenter’s helper to assist the Smith family in saving up sufficient funds to make a down payment on a farm in Manchester Township, south of Palmyra, New York. Smith also assisted his father in clearing timber, planting wheat and tapping maple trees for the purpose of making maple sugar. A neighbor, Orlando Saunders, stated that the members of the Smith family “have all worked for me many a day; they were very good people. Young Joe (as we called him then) has worked for me, and he was a good worker; they all were.”〔''Saints' Herald'' 28 (1881): 165.〕 In the early 1820s, Smith was involved with his father and brothers in a number of treasure digging excavations in the Palmyra–Manchester area.〔Dan Vogel, ("The Location of Joseph Smith's Early Treasure Quests" ), ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'' 27(3) (1994): 197–231.〕
In 1823, Smith took the lead in building the family's new home and worked to get the family out of debt.〔 Regarding this debt, Smith's mother Lucy stated, "In the spring () after we moved onto the farm we commenced making Mapel () sugar ... we then began to make preparations for building a house as the Land Agent of whom we purchased our farm was dead and we could not make the last payment."〕
