One of the first real interviews that I received out of BYU Engineering school was with the OC Tanner Company in Salt Lake City. They make specialty medals and high end awards including things like Olympic Medals for the 2002 Olympics. I have to believe that part of the success of that business and the success of N Eldon Tanner among others (in Alberta), had to do with a direct promise given by Joseph Smith.
I believe that Oberlin C Tanner was a descendant of John Tanner through Annie Tanner - and he had an amazing heritage from a polygamous line that is tied into Cardston, I believe (my wife will know all the details).
I am always amazed at the faith of people who owed nothing but their lives to the Lord. John Tanner's life was saved by two servants of God who exercised their Priesthood power in perfect acuity:

This is a GREAT FHE lesson vid, if you do not have something planned. I jerked a few tears while watching.
The kids will learn about Consecration and dedication to God.
Excellent! Just excellent! Thank you!
