Lead Daily Call, Deadwood Pioneer-Times, Monday, July 3, 1972 Heart attack is fatal for Mormons' patriarch SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)- Joseph Fielding Smith, 95-yearold patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, died Sunday of a heart attack at his daughter's home. Smith, spiritual leader for the world's 3 million Mormons, would have been 96 July 19. "I guess it was just old age," said a church spokesman. The spokesman said the church's council 'of the 12 apostles would meet at 10:00 a.m. Monday to make funeral arrangements.

Smith, the 10th leader since the church was organized in 1830, succeeded the late David 0. McKay on Jan. 23, 1970, at the age of 93. He was born in Salt Lake on July 19, 1876, a son of Joseph F. Smith, sixth president of the church, and Julina Lambson Smith.

His grandfather was Hyrum Smith, patriarch to the church and brother of founder Joseph Smith. Prior to becoming leader of the Mormons, Smith was a member of President McKay's first presidency. He had become a member of the Council Twelve Apostles April 7, 1910, and was president of that body until April 12, 1951. Smith, named assistant church historian in 1906, became historian and general recorder in 1921 and served in that position until he was called to the presidency. He wrote more than 20 books on Mormon church history and doctrines.

Smith was known as a theological conservative and noted for his fundamentalist views. He appeared in public often up to the time of his death, speaking at temple dedications, university graduations and church conferences. He was scheduled to address thechurch'sgeneral conference in Mexico City later this year. Smith outlived three wives, the first of whom he married in April of 1898. She was Louise Emyle Shurtliff, who died March 30, 1908.

He married his second wife, Ethel Georgina Reynolds, on Nov. 2, 1908, and she died Aug. 26. 1937. His third wife, Jesse Evans, whom he married April 12, 1 1938 died Aug.

3, 1971. She had been a former operatic contralto and concert singer with the Salt Lake Tabernacle Choir. Two daughters were born to Smith's first wife, and his second wife bore him five sons and four daughters. Smith was a strong promoter of church-related sports and was interested in flying.

Mitchell made another call to this reporter Sunday and gave her reaction to the announcement of her husband, John N. Mitchell, Saturday that he was leaving his job as chairman of the committee to re-elect President Nixon. "Sure, that's what Iwanted," she said when asked how she viewed the resignation.
