Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, the oldest living apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at 11:30 p.m. Monday at the age of 91.

A press release from the LDS Church said Elder Wirthlin had gone to bed at his Salt Lake City home, and died peacefully of causes incident to age.

Elder Wirthlin served in the German-Austrian and Swiss-Austrian missions from 1937-1939. He returned occasionally to visit Austria.

Karen Humiston writes to tell us:
My husband, Matthew Herman Humiston served in the Austria Vienna Mission from 1976-1978. Matt died on Febuary 2, 2000 from stomach cancer. He loved his mission and remained faithful and grew in the gospel until he died. He left behind a very loving wife, Karen, and 5 children. I thought maybe there would be a way to let his companions know about his death.
Thank you, Karen Humiston
