Henry D. Moyle

  Elder Henry D. Moyle, First Counselor to the President of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), died in his
sleep on Wednesday, September 18, on a church operated ranch at
Deer Park near Orlando, Florida. The 74 year old church official
had been in Florida since Sunday, on business.

  President Moyle, Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering, and
Bachelor of Arts in General Studies, both from the University of
Utah, Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Chicago,
student of geology at the world famous mining school in Freiburg,
Germany, and student of law at Harvard University, led a
diversified career of distinguished service to his state, and to
his church, and his influence was felt on a world wide scale.

  For eleven years, Elder Moyle traveled throughout the church,
assisting in setting up and making strong the welfare program.
Then he was called as a member of the Council of the Twelve.

  For the next twelve years, he traveled world wide throughout the
church, giving council where it was needed, and assisting in the
Missionary Program. Underlying his success in his many fields of
endeavor has been his first consideration, always the furthering
of the church here in the earth.

  Elder Moyle was chosen as a member of the Presidency of the
church on June 12, 1959.

  His was a life spent in service to his fellow man, and obedience
to God's laws and ordinances.
