Conference sustains George Albert Smith as church president with J. Reuben Clark and David O. McKay as counselors. He is "set apart" (not ordained) by Apostle George F. Richards, who is also a patriarch. Smith is the only unmarried man to become an LDS church president and the only one who has no marital companion during his entire presidency. He remains an unmarried widower the last fourteen years of his life.
