- Remarks: He was the son of George Q. Cannon. Early in the summer of 1896, Elder Cannon visited California, where he presumably visited the ocean, swam in it, and got ocean water trapped within his ear. This led to an ear infection, and by mid-July Cannon was seriously ill. He underwent at least one surgery to relieve pressure and drain the infection, but the illness continued and led to his premature death.
