Example of High Priests being Called "Elders" (March 1834)

  

March 15th, while at father Beaman’s, Elders [Sidney] Rigdon and [Lyman] Wight arrived, much to the joy of their souls, and the saints in Livon[i]a. [HC 2:43] (History, 1838–1856, volume A-1 [23 December 1805–30 August 1834], Page 447)

 

 

This stood out to me as Rigdon and Wight were ordained high priests in June 1831, but were still called "elder" in this March 15, 1834 record.
