Yesterday’s answer:

A   John Smith (uncle)

From the life of John Smith (Uncle to the Prophet Joseph Smith):   Leaving from Kirtland, John filled a twenty-four hundred-mile mission to the East with his brother Joseph Sr., during which they visited many of their relatives and baptized sixteen converts. He had the distinction of serving as president of four stakes of Zion located in four different states—Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Utah. Six months before the Prophet died, he ordained John a patriarch. The Prophet’s younger brother William was ordained patriarch to the Church in May 1845, succeeding his slain brother Hyrum, but he was rejected by the vote of the Church in the October conference that year. Although John’s oldest brother, Asael, was presiding patriarch by right, his health was so poor he could not function, and Uncle John Smith acted unofficially as patriarch to the Church until January 1849, when he was sustained and set apart to that position in Salt Lake City. Before his death in 1854, this great patriarch had administered 5,560 blessings. Uncle John Smith was described as “a man of the utmost honor and of sterling integrity both to God and man.”
