    LDS Prophet Lorenzo Snow - 5th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints    		LDS Prophet Lorenzo Snow - 5th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

  • Notes 
    • 5th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

      He was an American religious leader who served as the fifth presiden t o f The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1 89 8 until his death. Snow was the last president of the LDS Church in th e 1 9th century and the first in the 20th.

      While living in Kirtland in 1837, Snow was called to serve a short missi o n in Ohio, traveling "without purse or scrip." He recorded that relyin g o n the kindness of others for his meals and lodging was difficult fo r him , as he had always had sufficient means to care for himself. When h e retu rned to Kirtland in 1838, Snow found Smith's followers in turmoi l over th e failure of the Kirtland Safety Society. Snow and the member s of his ext ended family chose to move to Missouri in the summer of 183 8 and join th e Latter Day Saints settling near Far West. Snow became ser iously ill wit h a fever, and was nursed for several weeks by his sister , Eliza.

      Following his recovery, Snow left for a second mission to Illinois and K e ntucky in the fall of 1838. He served there through February 1839, whe n h e learned that the Latter Day Saints had been expelled from their set tlem ents in Missouri. He traveled home by way of his former mission are a in O hio. He was again taken ill and was cared for by church members. H e remai ned in Ohio, preaching and working with church members until th e fall o f 1839. During the school year of 1839–40, Snow taught in Shaler sville, O hio. He sent money to his family, which had by then settled i n Nauvoo, Il linois; he joined them in May 1840.

      Lorenzo Snow at age 38
      Shortly after he arrived in Nauvoo, Snow was called to serve as a missio n ary in England. After an unpleasant sea voyage from New York City, Sno w m et with some members of the Quorum of the Twelve who had opened the B riti sh Mission in 1839, including Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and P arle y P. Pratt. Snow worked briefly in the Manchester area, and had succ ess i n Birmingham, where he baptized people in Greet's Green and organiz ed a b ranch in Wolverhampton. Snow was assigned to preside over church m ember s in London. During his administration, church membership in the ci ty inc reased from approximately 100 to 400 members. He was released fro m his mi ssion by Pratt, who by then was president of an expanding Europe an Missio n. Snow arrived home on April 12, 1843, and was accompanied b y a shiploa d of 250 British converts.

      After visiting with his family, Snow again secured a teaching position f o r the winter, teaching at Lima, Illinois, thirty miles from Nauvoo. I n la te spring 1844, he returned to Ohio, preaching and baptizing new con vert s and distributing recent church publications to members. He was wor kin g in Cincinnati, Ohio, when he learned of the death of the Smiths. Sn ow c losed his Ohio mission and promptly returned to Nauvoo.

      During the period of disorganization and schism that followed Smith's de a th, Snow chose to follow the Quorum of the Twelve, under Young's direct io n. In 1845, Snow was involved in work in the Nauvoo Temple.
