Although the council voted to close both newspapers, a public vote in the general conference four days later modified this plan. John Taylor reported to the conference that church leaders had thought it best to end both papers after publishing the conference minutes. While stating a willingness to abide by counsel, Taylor argued that the church should continue publishing the Times and Seasons “until the volume be completed.” Heber C. Kimball’s formal proposal to that effect was then ratified by the conference. Although the Nauvoo Neighbor ceased regular publication following the 1 October 1845 edition, a final full issue of the paper was published on 29 October 1845. No issues of the Times and Seasons were published in October, but the paper resumed regular semimonthly publication in November 1845 and continued until February 1846. (Conference Minutes, Times and Seasons, 1 Nov. 1845, 6:1015.)
