Abraham O. Woodruff
Abraham Owen Woodruff (November 23, 1872 – June 20, 1904) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
He was also the son of LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff.
He was ordained an apostle at the relatively young age of 24, but served less than seven years until his death.
Woodruff was born just south of Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, to Wilford Woodruff and Emma Smith, in a log house built by his father.
He attended Latter-day Saints' College after he graduated from high school.
Upon completion of his studies, Woodruff became employed in a bank at the age of 18.
In 1893, at age 21, he was called to the Swiss–German Mission.
While on his mission, Woodruff had to endure persecution against the missionaries and Latter-day Saints in Germany.
To blend in, he dressed and acted like a common worker in the cities, and preached in secret in homes at night.
He was released from his mission after three years of service in 1896.
After his mission, Woodruff returned to work at the bank.
On June 30, 1896, he married Helen May Winters.
The following October, in General Conference, he was called by his father as an apostle at the age of 24.
He was ordained by his father on October 7, 1897.
Like other apostles, he helped establish settlements and stakes throughout the area.
Woodruff developed a close and very personal relationship with his father during this time as well.
Woodruff took a second wife, Eliza Avery Clark, on November 1, 1900, thus practicing plural marriage 10 years after his father's 1890 Manifesto.
It is not known who sealed the marriage or where it was performed.
It is possible that the marriage was performed outside of the United States.
Woodruff had one child with his second wife.
In May 1904, Woodruff was called to visit the Mormon colonies in Mexico with his family.
There, his wife, Helen Woodruff, contracted smallpox and died on June 7, 1904.

Woodruff was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

He met Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Ohio, before joining Zion's Camp in April 1834.
He stayed in Missouri as a missionary, preaching in Arkansas and Tennessee before returning to Kirtland.
He married his first wife, Pheobe, that year and served a mission in New England.
Joseph Smith called Woodruff to be a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in July 1838, and he was ordained in April 1839.
Woodruff served a mission in England from 1839 until 1841, leading converts from England to Nauvoo.
Woodruff was away promoting Joseph Smith's presidential campaign during Joseph Smith's death.
After returning to Nauvoo, he and Phoebe travelled again to England, where Woodruff preached and supported local members.
Woodruff and Phobe returned to the United States just before the Saints were driven out of Nauvoo, and Woodruff oversaw forty families in Winter Quarters, where he was sealed to his first plural wives, though two of the three plural wives divorced him after three weeks.
He joined the advance company that traveled to the Salt Lake Valley without his family in 1847.
After returning to Winter Quarters, Woodruff and Phebe left to preside over the Eastern States Mission.
Woodruff and his family arrived in Salt Lake City on October 15, 1850, where Woodruff built cabins, farmed, and raised cattle.
He served on the Utah territorial legislature and was heavily involved in the social and economic life of his community.
He worked as an Assistant Church Historian and as Church Historian 1856–1889.
He was married to three more wives between 1852 and 1853.
In 1877, he became the president of the St. George Temple, where endowment ordinances were first performed for the dead as well as the living.
Woodruff helped to standardize the temple ceremony, and received a revelation that church members could act as proxy for anyone they could identify by name.
He also ended sealings of members to unrelated priesthood holders, stating that sealings should follow family lines.
In 1882, Woodruff went into hiding to avoid arrest for unlawful cohabitation under the Edmunds Act.
In 1889, Woodruff became the fourth president of the LDS Church.
After government disenfranchisement of polygamists and women in Utah, and seizure of church properties which threatened to extend to temples, Woodruff ended the Church's official support of new polygamous marriages in the 1890 Manifesto.
Woodruff died in 1898 and his detailed diaries provide an important record of Latter Day Saint history.
