Harold Bingham Lee was born March 28, 1899 at Clifton, Idaho to
Samuel Marion Lee and Louisa Emiline Bingham. He started school a year earlier
than was the practice in his farming community because he could already write
his name and knew the alphabet. As a young boy, he was large for his age, and
when his friends were ordained to the priesthood, he became a deacon also,
although he was technically not quite old enough for the honor.
Growing up on a farm in southeastern Idaho taught Harold B. Lee many
valuable character traits and provided experiences from which he would draw in
his later life. He wrote, "We began to do chores shortly after daybreak so we
could start with the day's work by sunup.When the day's work was finished we had
yet to do our evening chores, usually by the aid of a lantern."
As a boy, young Harold mastered many tasks, wrote his older brother, S.
Perry Lee. "Harold graduated from riding the derrick horse that was used to lift
the huge forkful of hay onto the growing hay stack, to pitching the hay onto the
wagon from the cured haycocks. He also learned to mow and rake the ripened
alfalfa and other fodder grasses. He became adept at driving the four-in-hand
team that hauled the lumbering wagonload of sugarbeets to the loading dock."
As a young boy, while gaining an appreciation for hard work, young Harold
learned an even more important lesson. One day he had the urge to explore an old
broken-down shed, but he heard a voice warning: "Harold, don't go over there."
Elder Lee later recalled: "I looked about to see who was speaking my name. My
father was way up at the other end of the field. He could not see what I was
doing. There was no speaker in sight. Then I realized that someone that I could
not see was warning me not to go over there. What was over there, I shall never
know, but I learned early that there are those beyond our sight that could talk
to us."
After attending the Church-operated Oneida Stake Academy and the Albion
State Normal School, he began his teaching career at age 17 in the small, rural
one-room Silver Star School near Weston, Idaho. A year later he became principal
of the district school, some of whose students were older than he was.
Harold's interests were varied. While in school he had played basketball
and participated in debates. He also played the trombone and piano in dance
bands in and around his community.
He was called to the Western States Mission in 1922, where he became a
Conference President. He completed a mission in the Western States Mission, and
then moved to Salt Lake City. He soon began courting Fern Lucinda Tanner, a
young woman of considerable talents. After a brief courtship, they were married
Nov. 14, 1923, in the Salt Lake Temple. Two daughters, Maurine and Helen, were
born to them.
While working, he completed his college education by attending summer
sessions at the University of Utah and by taking extension and home study
courses. He became successively principal of two schools and then district
manager of a library supplies company. In 1932 he was appointed a member of the
Salt Lake City Commission with responsibility for streets and public properties.
It was in his Church callings however that he would more fully serve his
fellow man. He accepted several calls in his ward and stake culminating in his
call as the Stake President of the Pioneer Stake in 1930. As his members
struggled against the deprivations of the Great Depression, the stake developed
a series of innovative projects to produce and preserve needed food and other
supplies for the destitute. President Lee was also concerned about the social
and recreational needs of his stake members. The stake constructed a gymnasium,
using materials from a demolished business building, and then set up a stakewide
budget plan to provide wholesome Church-sponsored activities for all, regardless
of their financial status.
It was because of this background that the First Presidency in 1935
called him to an interview to discuss what might be done for the multitude of
members Churchwide who were suffering from the effects of the Great Depression.
At that interview, they appointed Harold B. Lee to develop the Church's welfare
plan.
He sought inspiration through prayer to fulfill their charge. "As I
kneeled down, my petition was, "What kind of an organization should be set up to
accomplish what the presidency has assigned?' And there came to me on that
glorious morning one of the most heavenly realizations of the power of the
priesthood of God. It was as though something were saying to me, "There is no
new organization necessary to take care of the needs of this people. All that is
necessary is to put the priesthood of God to work. There is nothing else you
need as a substitute.' "
He became the originator of a series of projects called the Church
"Security Program" that, the following year, became know as the Welfare Program.
During the next several years he traveled widely, counseling with local leaders
concerning the implementation of the welfare program. Thus, he was already
widely known and respected when he received his next significant calling.
Elder Lee was called as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on
April 6, 1941. He later related a sacred experience he had during the following
week:
"It was on the day or so following conference that President Stephen L Richards, who was then chairman of the Church
radio and publicity committee, approached me and said, "Brother Lee, next Sunday
is Easter, and we have decided to ask you to give the Sunday night radio talk,
the Easter talk, on the resurrection of the Lord. "And then he added, "You
understand now, of course, that as a member of the Council of the Twelve, you
are to be one of the special witnesses of the life and mission of the Savior and
of that great event.' The most verwhelming of all the things that have happened
to me was to begin to realize what a call into the Council of the Twelve meant.
"During the days which followed, I locked myself in one of the rooms over
in the Church Office Building, and there I read the story of the life of the
Savior. As I read the events of His life, and particularly the events leading up
to and of the crucifixion, and then of the resurrection, I discovered that
something was happening to me. I was not just reading a story; it seemed
actually as though I was living the events; and I was reading them with a
reality the like of which I had never before experienced. And when, on the
Sunday night following, after I had delivered my brief talk and then declared,
simply, "As one of the humblest among you, I, too, know that these things are
true, that Jesus died and was resurrected for the sins of the world," I was
speaking from a full heart, because I had come to know that week, with a
certainty which I never before had known."
There was another
dimension to Elder Lee's preparation. During the Great Depression he had learned
empathy as he shared the suffering of those over whom he presided. Then, in
1962, he personally experienced deep sorrow as he lost his wife, Fern. Four
years later his daughter Maureen, then the wife of Ernest J. Wilkins, died. In
1963 he married Freda Joan Jensen, an accomplished educator.
Reflecting on the tragic experiences of losing loved ones and on the
words of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Elder Lee concluded: "These thoughts now
running through my mind begin to give greater meaning to some of the experiences
in my life, things that have happened which have been difficult for me to
understand. At times it seemed as though I, too, was like a rough stone rolling
down from a high mountainside, being buffeted and polished, I suppose, by
experiences, that I too might overcome and become a polished shaft in the quiver
of the Almighty."
By 1970, he was concurrently presiding over the Quorum of the Twelve and
serving as First Counselor to President Joseph Fielding
Smith. What Elder Lee was being prepared for became obvious when President
Joseph Fielding Smith passed away on July 2, 1972, and Elder Lee became the 11th
president of the Church. At a press conference, he declared that the Church's
greatest challenge was to keep up with the worldwide growth in its membership.
President Lee declared on this occasion that his most important message
to the Saints was that they should keep the commandments of God. "The safety of
the Church lies in the members keeping the commandments. There is nothing more
important that I could say. As they keep the commandments, blessings will
come."Upon President Smith's death, he was sustained as the eleventh President
of the Church in July 1972. He was the youngest serving president the Church had
enjoyed in over forty years. Notwithstanding, his administration lasted only a
year and a half. His sudden death on December 26, 1973, from cardiac and lung
failure stunned the Church.
