Nathan Eldon Tanner (May 9, 1898 – November 27, 1982) was a teacher, municipal and provincial politician from the Canadian province of Alberta, and leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, but his family soon moved to Aetna outside of Cardston, Alberta, where he was raised. Tanner served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1935 to 1952 sitting with the Social Credit caucus in government. During his time in office he served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1936 to 1937 and as a cabinet minister in the governments of William Aberhart and Ernest Manning from 1937 to 1952, serving in various portfolios related to resource industries. ==Early life== Tanner was born on May 9, 1898, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His family had a farmstead just south of Cardston, Alberta. He grew up in southern Alberta, attending grade school in the town of Aetna and high school at Knight Academy in Raymond and receiving some post-secondary education at Calgary Normal School. Tanner began his working life at a grocery store and butcher shop. He obtained a job teaching at a small school in Hill Spring in 1919. He met his future wife, Sara Isabelle Merrill, at the school and married her on December 20, 1919.〔 In addition to teaching, Tanner established his own general store (which also became the local post office) to supplement his family income. The store was successful enough that he left his first teaching job in Hill Spring to run the store full-time.〔 Tanner eventually became a high school teacher in Cardston. He got his start in the political arena serving as a councillor on Cardston Town Council.〔 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「Nathan Eldon Tanner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
