Joseph Angell Young (October 14, 1834 – August 5, 1875) was an apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Young is one of the few Latter-day Saints in history to have been ordained to the office of apostle without ever becoming a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or the First Presidency.[3]

  1. ^ Cite error: The named reference Compton was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
  2. ^ Since Young was not a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or the First Presidency, no one was called to the apostleship as a replacement after he died.
  3. ^ David Whitmer was an ordained apostle but was never a member of either quorum. Some have also suggested that Martin Harris was an ordained apostle. See Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 6:320 and Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 6:29.
