Yesterday’s answer:
a.
President
Joseph F. Smith
The only
known Book of Mormon aboard the ill-fated Titanic
was that carried by Irene Colvin Corbett of Salt Lake City. Sister Corbett had
left her husband, Walter, and three children to study nursing in London.
Although warned by both her husband and Church President Joseph F. Smith not to
leave her family, 28-year-old Corbett did so anyway. Her grandson Don Corbett,
said his headstrong grandmother also wanted to do missionary work and asked for
a blessing from President Smith. In her hometown of Provo, Utah, friends criticized
her for going against the prophet. Corbett, her Book of Mormon, and all of her belongings
sank in the Titanic after it struck
an iceberg in the morning hours of April 15, 1912, some 300 miles off the coast
of Newfoundland. She was among the 1,513 people who died in the tragedy.
