Taylor and Phelps were not called on missions, and they continued in their roles with the newspapers until the publication of the final issues of the Nauvoo Neighbor (29 October 1845) and the Times and Seasons (15 February 1846). Taylor was listed as “editor and proprietor” of the newspapers during this time period, and Phelps was sometimes referred to as the junior editor of each paper.
