He was Second Counselor in the [[Presiding Bishop (LDS Church)|Presiding Bishopric]] from 1887 to 1901, and First Counselor in the [[First Presidency (LDS Church)|First Presidency]] to church [[President of the Church (LDS Church)|president]] [[Joseph F. Smith]] from 1901 until his death. He was well known for his business abilities, and influenced [[Heber J. Grant]].
