Chicago was not RLDS

I was raised RLDS, halfway down the state of Illinois. close to the intersection of Iowa and Missouri. About as Midwestern as you could get, but not part of Chicago, which was another world entirely. 

Chicago was the name of a poem by Carl Sandburg. which begins "Hog butcher for the world" 

The RLDS church moved from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Plano, Illinois (close to Chicago). to Lamoni. Iowa. to Independence, Missouri
