Joseph Fielding Smith was born (More) Joseph Fielding Smith was the tenth prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was known as an able writer and wrote numerous books. Joseph Fielding Smith was born on July 19, 1876. His father was Joseph F. Smith, and his grandfather was Hyrum Smith, the brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith. He was raised to uphold and recognize the religious contributions of his ancestors, and he felt a powerful kinship to the Prophet Joseph Smith, Hyrum, and his father, Joseph F. Smith. He was an avid reader in his youth and loved to learn about the gospel. By the time he was ten, he had read the Book of Mormon from beginning to end twice. He married Louie Emily (Emyla) Shurtliff in the Salt Lake Temple on April 26, 1898, and a year later left on a mission to England, where he served for two years. In April of 1906, he became assistant Church Historian. His wife tragically died in March of 1908, leaving behind two young daughters. In November, Joseph Fielding Smith married Ethel Georgina Reynolds, and together they had another five sons and four daughters. Elder Smith was a careful and diligent teacher to his children, and was rewarded by seeing all his sons and daughters remain faithful to the Church. His upstanding posterity is as much an achievement as his prophetic role or the books he authored. On April 7, 1910, Joseph Fielding Smith was ordained as an Apostle for the Church at 34 years of age. As an Apostle he gained a reputation for his incredible knowledge of the scriptures. President Heber J. Grant called him "the best posted man on the scriptures of the General Authorities of the Church that we have." He published more books than any other president of the Church, although that was not his intent. Most of them were compilations of talks or answers to questions he had received about the Church. Most of his writings are still used today and are widely referenced. In 1937 Joseph Fielding Smith's second wife passed away. He married again, this time to Jessie Ella Evans in 1938. Sadly she too passed away one year before President Smith. On January 23, 1970 Joseph Fielding Smith became President of the Church. He helped reorganize some of the organizations of the Church and consolidated all of the various Church magazines into three magazines. He once said, "our mission is to preach the doctrines of salvation in plainness and simplicity as they are revealed and recorded in the scriptures." President Smith's teachings certainly live up to this mission. President Smith served for two years until his death on July 2, 1972. Information from http://www.mormonwiki.com (Less)
