Later in life he became involved with both the Amalgamated Sugar Company and the Utah and Idaho Sugar Company. Nibley was also active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He became a General Authority, served as Presiding Bishop under President Joseph F. Smith, and served as a second counselor to President Heber J. Grant. His personal life revolved around his three wives, Rebecca Neibaur, Ellen Ricks, and Julia Budge, and the 24 children they would have.
