In 1831, [[Joseph Smith, Jr.]], the Latter Day Saint [[prophet]], took up residence in [[Hiram Township, Portage County, Ohio|Hiram, Ohio]], four miles from the Snow farm. The Snow family were [[Baptists]], but soon took a strong interest in the new religious movement. Snow recorded that he heard the ''[[Book of Mormon]]'' being read in his home in Mantua and met Smith at Hiram in 1831. By 1835, Lorenzo's mother and his older sister [[Eliza Roxcy Snow]], had joined the [[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|Latter Day Saint church]]. Eliza soon moved to the church headquarters in [[Kirtland, Ohio]], and worked as a school teacher. She, in her biography of Lorenzo, claims to have fostered his interest in [[Mormonism]] while he was at Oberlin. She invited Lorenzo to visit her and attend a school of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] newly established by the church. During his visit there, in June 1836, Lorenzo was [[Baptism|baptized]] by [[John F. Boynton]], a member of the [[Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]].
