Marion George Romney (September 19, 1897 – May 20, 1988) was an apostle and a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). ==Early life== Romney was born in Colonia Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, to parents who had come from the United States. Romney was the son of George S. Romney and a cousin of Michigan governor George W. Romney (who was born in nearby Colonia Dublan and who is the father of 2012 Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney). His mother was Teressa Artemesia Redd, daughter of Lemuel Hardison Redd and Sariah Louisa Chamberlain. His parents were married in Colonia Juarez in 1894. Romney was the second oldest of their ten children. Romney's younger sister, Lurlene Romney Cheney, was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church and later became Sister Mary Catherine, a Carmelite nun, at the Carmel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Holladay, Utah. Romney studied at Academia Juárez until his family left Mexico in 1912, as violence from the ongoing Mexican revolution spread to their region. He spent the remainder of his youth in California and Idaho. In 1917, the Romneys moved to Rexburg, Idaho, where his father took the position of principal of Ricks Academy. Romney completed his high school study at Ricks as valedictorian of his class in 1918. From 1920 to 1923, Romney was an LDS Church missionary in Australia. After his return from his mission, he worked in construction in Salt Lake City for his uncle Gaskell Romney (the father of George W. Romney). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marion G. Romney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
