Henry D. Taylor

Henry Dixon Taylor (22 November 1903 – 24 February 1987) was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1958 to 1978.

Taylor was born in Provo, Utah. As a young man, he was a missionary for the LDS Church in the church's Eastern States Mission. During his mission, Taylor was the president of the Connecticut District of the church.

Taylor received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and a master's degree from New York University. For most of his life he was employed by his family's mercantile business, Dixon–Taylor–Russell Home Furnishers in Utah County.

From 1944 to 1946, Taylor was the bishop of the Pleasant View Ward in Provo. On 6 April 1958, Taylor became an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the LDS Church. In 1976, when this position was abolished, Taylor became a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy. He acted in this capacity until 30 September 1978, when he was granted general authority emeritus status.

Taylor was married to Alta Hansen and was the father of four sons. In 1986 after his wife had died, he married Ethelyn Peterson. Taylor died in Salt Lake City, Utah and was buried in Provo.
