According to the testimony of the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith's younger brother William, Joseph, at age 14, (1819) had heard her brother Reverend George Lane preach a sermon on "what church shall I join" and quoted from the New Testament James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him," which put into motion the eventual formation of the LDS (Mormon) Church. Irene joined the LDS Church shortly before her death on February 28, 1846. Her husband David Foote (md. 1791 in Broome County, NY) had joined as early as 1833.
