| | Wilford Woodruff |
| | At the death of Church President John Taylor in 1887, Wilford Woodruff first led the Church as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and was then sustained as President of the Church at the General Conference in April 1889, at the age of eighty-two. | | | Wilford Woodruff was ordained an apostle at age 32. | | | Although Woodruff's leadership was somewhat eclipsed by colleagues who were more articulate and astute in matters of finance and politics, his pen produced the instrument that led to Utah statehood in 1896 and opened the door for the twentieth-century progress and growth of the Church. |

Grant raised the question with Wilford Woodruff whether the Twelve might choose someone other than the senior apostle to be the next president of the Church. | | | There was not one of the Twelve Apostles believed a word of it, and Brother George Q. Cannon was the most opposed to it of any man in the Quorum of the Twelve. | | | Because at the Death of the President of the Church The Twelve Apostles Became the Presiding Authority of the Church, And the President of the Twelve was virtually the President of the Church by virtue of his Office as much while presiding over Twelve Apostles as while presiding over two as his Councillors. |

| | Wilford Woodruff was president of the LDS Church during this time of threatened disfranchisement and federal confiscation of all Mormon Temples and was faced with the consequences of whatever decision was to be made. | | | Things in Heaven and Earth, the Life and Times of Wilford Woodruff, a Mormon Prophet is a new biography of this pioneer prophet who held the future of his church and the Territory of Utah in his hands. | | | Woodruff, fourth of 13 Mormon presidents, who served from 1889 to 1898, is credited with saving the church by formally ending plural marriages in church teachings and thus appeasing the United States government, which threatened to dissolve the Mormon Church and confiscate its far-flung property. |

| | Wilford Woodruff issued his manifesto against plural marriages and since that time they have not been permitted by the church, though many of the men who entered into these relations before that time have continued to support and care for their families, feeling that these obligations could not be discarded. | | | President Taylor died in 1887 and was succeeded by Wilford Woodruff, who, in 1890, issued the manifesto prohibiting plural marriages in the church. | | | Their propaganda, which suffered a check by the promulgation of the doctrine of polygamy in 1852, has been vigorous and fairly successful since Woodruff's manifesto advising the Saints to contract no marriage forbidden by law. |
