[Heber J. Grant] Abraham Lincoln has been referred to by some as the ugliest man that ever lived. The story goes that on one occasion he met my father-in-law, Daniel H. Well, and said to him, 'Wells, prepare to die. I have sworn that if I ever met a man uglier man than myself, I would shoot him.' Daniel H. Wells is reported to have said, 'Shoot, Abe,'if I am uglier than you, I want to die.'

ReplyDeleteOld Heber, the Profane Prophet, should have looked in the mirror at his big old schnozzola. One of the ugliest LDS church president.
