[Abraham H. Cannon Journal] In conf. mtg. he is called up to stand and was selected to fill one of the vacancies in the "Quorum of the First Seven Presidents of Seventies." "I was chosen in Bro. Joseph Young's place and Bro. Lewis for John Hancock, both deceased. I was never more surprised in my life, as I had received no intimations of this appointment."
