Who was the second leader when Joseph smith was murder?
After Joseph Smith was murdered in June 1844, there was a bit of confusion among some people about who should be the next leader of the Church. A vast majority thought that it should be Brigham Young, the most senior Apostle. They moved west to Salt Lake City and today are the 'mainstream' Mormons, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Others thought that the leader should be Joseph Smith's young son, Joseph Smith III. These stayed in the midwest and are now known as the Community of Christ. Others thought Sidney Rigdon or James Strang should have been the leader. Followers of those men also formed their own groups and many of them are still in existence today.
Which Mormon leader decided to leave the East and settle in Utah?
Joseph Smith is the one who directed the early Mormons to move from New York to Ohio and from Ohio to Missouri and Illinois.

It was not until after his murder, however, that they would travel to Utah. Brigham Young was the leader who made the call for everyone to pack up and move to Utah from Illinois.
