| Notes |
- 14th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He was an American lawyer and the 14th president of The Church of Jesu s C hrist of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1994 to 1995. His nine-m ont h presidential tenure is the shortest in the church's history. Hunte r wa s the first president of the LDS Church born in the 20th century an d th e last to die in it. He was sustained as an LDS apostle at the age o f 51 , and served as a general authority for over 35 years.
Hunter was born to John William and Nellie Marie Hunter in Boise, Idah o . His father, who was not a Latter-day Saint but joined the church in 1 92 7, would not allow Hunter to be baptized until he was 12; Hunter was o rda ined to the Aaronic priesthood several months after he turned 12. H e wa s the second person to become an Eagle Scout in the state of Idaho.
In March 1923, the Boise Ward, where Hunter had been a member since hi s b aptism, was split, and he ended up in the new Boise 2nd Ward. It init iall y met in a Jewish synagogue that was provided free of charge. When c all s were issued to build the Boise LDS Tabernacle, Hunter was the firs t t o pledge money for the building, offering $25.
Hunter had a love for music and played the piano, violin, drums, saxopho n e, clarinet, and trumpet. He formed a band called Hunter's Croonaders , wh ich played at many regional events and on a cruise ship to Asia.
