Emery Fletcher

Emery George Fletcher was a Latter Day Saint leader who served as the fourth president of The Church of Jesus Christ succeeding Isaac Whiting in that office after Whitings death in 1922. During his tenure, the Cutlerites fulfilled a longcherished dream of their founder, Alpheus Cutler, by relocating their church headquarters from Clitherall, Minnesota to Independence, Missouri, within sight of the Temple Lot. This move had the unintended consequence, however, of commencing a division between the Minnesota and Missouri branches of the church, which led to a shortlived schism after Fletchers death.

Fletcher was born in Clitherall, Minnesota onJuly 1868. He married Ethel Florence Minton in Fergus Falls, and had four children with her. Following her death in 1908, he subsequently married Emily Augusta Whiting onApril 1915 in Clitherall, but this marriage produced no children.
