Treasure in Heaven: The John Tanner Story

[MUSIC PLAYING]

My husband John Tanner was a kind and generous man. He was also a self made wealthy man. But all his money could not save him. Seven revered physicians examined his diseased leg, and each brought unwelcome news. John, this canker will soon overtake you.

The leg cannot be saved.

The leg must be amputated or you will die.

I'm grateful for your efforts on my behalf Doctor Black. But the leg and I came into this world together, and together we shall depart it. John, to be opting-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] Doctor, but the leg and I will now be leaving.

John Tanner (Mormon)

Early Latter-Day Saint from Rhode Island (1778–1850)

John Tanner (August 15, 1778 – April 13, 1850) was a leading figure in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a chief financial backer of the Kirtland Temple.

Tanner was a native of Rhode Island. He moved to New York when fairly young. Of his 21 children from three successive wives (his first two wives died before he married his next wife), 14 lived to adulthood. Tanner was a Baptist until he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1832. He was baptized by Jared Carter. Ten of his 14 children who lived to adulthood affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and eventually moved to Utah Territory.

In late 1834, Tanner sold his property in and around Lake George, New York which included a hotel. He then moved to Kirtland, Ohio where in early 1835 he lent money and assumed loans to keep the building of the Kirtland Temple moving forward. When Joseph Smith tried to repay him he refused any payment saying they owed him nothing.
