member of the Council of Fifty. He also served as a member of the Nauvoo High Council, and as Brigadier-General in the Nauvoo Legion. After the death of Joseph Smith, Rich followed the leadership of Brigham Young and the surviving Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He and his family migrated to what became Utah with the main body of the church in 1847, leading a pioneer company that arrived October of that year. When Young and the other apostles returned that winter to Winter Quarters, Nebraska, Rich served as a counselor to John Smith, who presided over the early pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley. In October 1848, Rich was made the president of the Salt Lake Stake. Brigham Young appointed Rich a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on February 12, 1849. Rich helped form a Latter-day Saint settlement in San Bernardino, California. However, this settlement attracted many people who wanted to avoid Young and other leaders of the LDS Church. The members who supported Young were asked to return to Utah in 1857 at the time of the Utah War. At the request of President Brigham Young, Charles C. Rich settled the Bear Lake (on the Utah–Idaho border) region and is the namesake of Rich County, Utah and St. Charles, ID. In the early 1860s, Rich served as president of the British Mission of the church. Death and legacy After suffering from paralysis, Rich died on November 17, 1883 in Paris, Idaho. He has been remembered as "a man of strength and great power of endurance." His granddaughter, Ada May Rich, became the mother of Laraine Day, who became an actress.
