55 years ago today - Jan 18, 1970

David O. McKay's dies at age 96, the oldest age to which any LDS president has lived, but not the oldest general authority. His is the longest service as a general authority, sixty-three years and nine months. Heber J. Grant and Joseph Fielding Smith have the next longest tenures of sixty-two years and a few months as general authorities.
