Emery George Fletcher (July 22, 1868 - July 21, 1953) was a Latter Day Saint leader who served as the fourth president of The Church of Jesus Christ (Cutlerite) succeeding Isaac Whiting in that office after Whiting's death in 1922.
During his tenure, the Cutlerites fulfilled a long-cherished dream of their founder, Alpheus Cutler, by relocating their church headquarters from Clitherall, Minnesota (where it had been since 1865) to Independence, Missouri, within sight of the Temple Lot.
This move had the unintended consequence, however, of commencing a division between the Minnesota and Missouri branches of the church, which led to a short-lived schism after Fletcher's death.
