Thomas C. Neibaur
Thomas Croft Neibaur (May 17, 1898 – December 23, 1942) was the first Latter-day Saint (Mormon) to receive the Medal of Honor. He was also the first soldier from Idaho to be awarded America's highest decoration, which occurred during World War I.
==Mormon heritage and early life==
Thomas Neibaur had a very strong family heritage and connection in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints beginning with his great-grandfather, Alexander Neibaur (1808–1883).〔link () to "notes" on Alexander〕 Alexander was from Alsace-Lorraine, a graduate of medical and dental university training in Berlin, and was fluent in several languages.
Thomas' grandfather, Joseph Neibaur, settled in Paris, Idaho in the 1880s. Thomas' parents were James C. Neibaur (1862–1938) and Elizabeth Croft Neibaur (1863–1938). Thomas was the ninth of ten children and when he was nine years old the family moved to Teton, near Sugar City, Idaho. Thomas and his father worked in the large sugar beet factory built in 1903, the namesake of Sugar City.
Though his parents and family remained faithful members of the LDS Church, Neibaur drifted from active participation. He always considered himself a believer in God, though he maintained he was not religious. But he never denied his Mormon roots and was very proud of his Mormon heritage.
