Brigham Young, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brigham Young, Jr. (December 18, 1836–April 11, 1903) served as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the time Joseph F. Smith became President of the Church in 1901 until his own death. Elder Young was ordained an Apostle in 1864 but not made a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until October of 1868. He served until his death in 1903.
He was born in Kirtland, Ohio, the son of Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell. His father ordained him an Apostle at the young age of 27 in 1864. However, he was not placed in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until four years later in 1868. This was not unheard of then, like it is today.[citation needed] In fact Brigham's bother Joseph was ordained an Apostle but never in either the Quorum of the Twelve or a counselor in the First Presidency, a case unique in the history of the church.[citation needed] He also served as a counselor in the First Presidency from April 8, 1873 until his father's death on August 29, 1877.
He died in Salt Lake City, Utah at age 66.
