- Remarks: Elder Romney was one of the first five brethren called to serve as Assistants to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He served in the First Presidency for many years. He was born of American parents in a Mexican colony during the years of plural marriage difficulties in Utah. His very modest headstone marking his burial site simply says, “Father — Marion G. Romney”.
