Joseph McKune Sr.
Joseph McKune Sr. was not a Later-day Saint, but McKune's granddaughter Mehitable Smith Many Doolittle reported that he once felt the plates. This account from "Early Days of Mormonism" in Chenango Union, was also reprinted by Larry E. Morris. "(Doolittle's) grandfather was once privileged to take in his hands a pillow-case in which the supposed saintly treasure was wrapped, and to feel through the cloth that it had leaves. From the size and weight of the book, Mr. McKune supposed that in dimensions it closely resembled an ordinary Bible in the print of those days."
