The deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in June 1844, followed within a month by the death from an undiagnosed illness of a third brother, Samuel H. Smith, left thirty-three-year-old Apostle William B. Smith as the only surviving son of Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith. He was serving a mission in the East and stayed there, following the advice of those who feared that his life might be in danger if he rushed back to Nauvoo with the other apostles who were scattered throughout the East on similar missions to promote Joseph Smith's candidacy for the U.S. Presidency. Significantly, William positioned himself solidly with the Twelve. [From the article]
