After his death his wife retained ownership of the artifacts. Since she did not come to Utah with the LDS pioneers the papyri stayed in the Midwest. They eventually were acquired by a museum.

Frequently Asked Question
Our faith is grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ and not in the actions of any particular person. The Community of Christ affirms its long history of vigorous opposition to polygamy as a doctrine or practice, regardless of what historical research may ultimately conclude about its origins in the early Latter Day Saint movement. The church has consistently taught monogamy as the basic principle of Christian marriage (Doctrine and Covenants, Sections 111 and 150).

Q. Is it like a smith machine?

ProSpot Fitness - Frequently Asked Questions
Not even close! Smith machines ‘track’ the barbell in a single plane, with no side-to-side or front-and-back movement. This forces you to workout with an unnatural lifting movement and limits the type of exercises that you can do on a smith machine. Also, locking the bar on a smith machine is not an automatic operation, you have to do it manually. ProSpot Fitness free-weight systems allow you to use a barbell unrestricted by sliding tracks or any other conventional constraints.
