John Longden (4 November 1898 – 30 August 1969) was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1951 until his death.
Longden was born in Oldham, Lancashire, England. In 1909, he and his parents, who were Latter-day Saints, moved from England to the United States. Prior to their departure, he had the opportunity to meet LDS Church apostle Charles W. Penrose at the British Mission office.[1]
From 1921 to 1924 Longden served as a LDS Church missionary in the Central States Mission. From 1925 to 1930 he served as bishop of the 19th Ward in Salt Lake City, Utah.[2] For part of this time, Frank I. Kooyman was one of Longden's counselors.[2]
Longden received his degree from the University of Utah.[3] Longden worked in management with Westinghouse Electric Supply Company.[3]
Longden married Frances Larue Carr. She served from 1948 to 1961 as a counselor in the general presidency of the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. John and Frances had three children.[4] One of these, Sharon Longden, married Loren C. Dunn, who also became a general authority of the LDS Church.[5]
In 1951, Longden became an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Among the assignments that Longden held while a general authority was being a Church Welfare Committee Advisor.[6] Longden died in Salt Lake City.
