Elder Stucki was imprisoned and moved from one dungeon to another in the Swiss canton of Graubunden for his missionary efforts. He was treated cruelly by his captors, including being made to sleep on rotten straw. He was eventually delivered to a person who refused to participate in the illegal imprisonment, which allowed Elder Stucki to be released in a weakened condition.
In Their Own Words
“In Graubunden, Elder Stucki was sent from one dungeon to another in Missouri fashion. At length he was delivered over to a person who would not be a participator in such an illegal course, and Brother S. was allowed to come away from these ‘Christians,’ half dead through their kindness in giving him rotten straw to sleep upon. — Millennial Star 20:47”
