J. Golden Kimball

Jonathan Golden Kimball was a leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints , serving as a member of the First Council of the Seventy from 1892 until his death in 1938. He is considered one of the most colorful and beloved of the churchs general authorities. In the years since his death, Uncle Golden has become a near legendary character among church members, possibly comparable to what Will Rogers or Mark Twain are to the general American public.

Kimball was born in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, the son of apostle Heber C. Kimball and Christeene Golden Kimball. He was one of sixtyfive children fathered by Heber C. Kimball, a practitioner of the early LDS doctrine of plural marriage. Kimball was one of the first generation of Latterday Saints to be born after the Mormon pioneers exodus to Utah in 1847, and was familiar with the pioneer experience and the expansion of Latterday Saint settlements in the Intermountain Region.
