the lumber business when David Eccles,George Stoddard and he founded the Oregon Lumber

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.
