Hyrum Mack Smith, son of President Joseph F. Smith, died on January 23, 1918 at the age of 45. At the time of his death, he was the fourth most-senior apostle in the Quorum of the Twelve. The next apostle to pass away was President Joseph F. Smith himself, who died on November 19, 1918. Sadly, the Smith family suffered another tragedy in 1918 when Ida Bowman Smith, the wife of Hyrum Mack Smith, died on September 24, 1918 from complications of childbirth.
