Charles E. Bidamon, letter to JFS, 26 May
Heber J. Grant, Diary, 4 October 1894
"Brigham Young said that if his [JFS's] father had had his way that Joseph F. Smith would have been the Patriarch of the Church, but that brother Joseph F. had begged that the office be given to his brother and had almost refused to have it when his father wanted him to take the place. He knew that his father had felt strongly that Brother Joseph F. Smith should be the Patriarch. He felt that the Patriarch should be a man who could stand with the First Presidency of the Church and meet and counsel with them."
