Joseph Smith III

Joseph Smith III (November 6, 1832–December 10, 1914) was the eldest surviving son of Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Joseph Smith III succeeded his father as Prophet-President of a "New Organization" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. For fifty-four years until his death, Smith presided over this church which came to be known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and is now known as the Community of Christ. Smith's ideas and nature set much of the tone for the church's development.
