Indeed. A great man. Condolences to his family which, while its members no doubt feel the loss keenly, can be comforted by the fact that he left an amazing legacy.

Eldred G Smith son of Hyrum G Smith son of John Smith son of Hyrum Smith brother of Joseph Smith Jr. We really are quite a young church still.

Wow, very sad. I kinda wish the church still had a church wide patriarch, even though he wouldn't have had much of a job.

I think there was a Hyrum F. Smith who was the son of John Smith, but your point is correct though we are a young church

Makes me wonder about so much debate over our "infancy".
