"There was no salvation but in the valley and through the priesthood there." Oliver Cowdrey final testimony
Posted: August 11th, 2019, 8:15 pm
This from a man who knew, Oliver Cowdrey.
In 1850 Joseph's devoted helper, Phineas Young, wrote to Brigham Young in praise of Oliver Cowdery. Phineas wrote that the rebaptized Oliver Cowdery was now dead, but no one should forget his last testimony in which he said of Church headquarters in the West, "There was no salvation but in the valley and through the priesthood there." Oliver knew the source of the truths and priesthood which were restored through Joseph and the later focus of the presiding priesthood power.

Oliver, as well as Lucy Mack Smith both wanted to come live with the saints in the west, but due to health were not able to do it.
