President Snow helped found Brigham City under the direction of Brigham Young and was stake president for several years. He served as president of the church from 1898 to 1901, when he died at 87.

Ezra Taft Benson

When President Benson was buried in 1994, it was next to his wife, Flora, in the Whitney, Idaho, cemetery, according to the Deseret News archives.

President Benson, the 13th president of the church, was born in Whitney and grew up on a family farm there, according to lds.org.

The Deseret News archives noted that there were "a remarkable number of gravestones that all bear the Benson name" in the Whitney cemetery.
