A   Rudger Clawson

In 1898 Elder Clawson was called to the Quorum of the Twelve and three years later was chosen as second counselor in the First Presidency to Lorenzo Snow, with whom he had been imprisoned. Elder Clawson was never set apart for this position because President Snow passed away just four days after general conference.

Returning to the Quorum, he served a total of forty-five years as an apostle, including twenty-two years as president of the Twelve.
