Bud was also involved in civic activities, including the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), where he served as a scoutmaster for over 30 years. He loved the opportunity to work with young men to help them become great men. During his years as a scoutmaster, he assisted numerous young men, and their mothers, to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. One of his fondest memories was a court of honor during which twelve of his scouts received their Eagle Scout awards. In 1997, 1981, and 1985, he led troops from the Great Salt Lake Council to National Scout Jamborees. In 1986, he served as commissioner for troops from the Great Salt Lake Council attending the World Jamboree in Alberta, Canada. His dedication and service to the BSA was recognized with the Silver Beaver Award. In his spare time, Bud enjoyed hunting, fishing, skiing, and traveling with family and friends. No fishing trip was complete without Ding Dongs, Twizzlers, soda pop, and a good fishing story. He spent many hours in his little red boat creating lasting memories. Bud was preceded in death by his angel wife, Loa, and by his parents. He is survived by his children Jim (Judith) Campbell, Kay (Kent) Ellett, Tom (Kim) Campbell; 18 grandchildren; and by his sister, Margaret Jones.

Source: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 10, page 10. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Helen Candland Stark, after a life which embraced many interests, died on Wednesday, May 25, 1994 in Provo, Utah. Born September 18, 1901 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, to Arthur Charles and Lydia Hasler Candland, she was the eldest of nine children -- five brothers and four sisters. Five brothers and one sister preceded her in death. She was educated at Brigham Young High School, then attended Brigham Young University where she was graduated in Theatre and Drama in the new Department of Dramatic Arts. Her major professor was T. Earl Pardoe. She received her Masters Degree in English in 1936. She taught high school in Kanab, Jordan and for nine years at Bingham High School where she instructed in English and Dramatic Arts. She married Henry M. Stark, of Spanish Fork, Utah, in Washington D.C. on his birthday, March 28, 1936. He was a PhD chemist working for DuPont. They were pioneers in establishing a branch of the LDS Church in Delaware. Their old stone house and five pristine acres became a center for the growing LDS population. After Henry retired, the Starks decided to move ``home'' to Utah. In Delaware eager developers wanted to break up their five acres, and in Salem the attitude of the mayor made the Starks avid conservationists. Henry passed away on January 24, 1988 in Provo, Utah. During her lifetime she was interested in many causes, including with her husband: setting up a scholarship for ``Women In Science''; endowing a lectureship in honor of Alice Louise Reynold; and spearheading a drive to build an Alice Louise Reynold Room in the new Harold B. Lee Library. With her husband, Henry, she gave an endowment to the Lytle Ranch near St. George. They were interested in the Bean Museum project because it was a further attempt to save the wilderness. One of her major interests was a concern about the problems of women. Housebound for years by peripheral neuropathy, she used her mind to write many articles and essays, of which some have been published. She is survived by her three children, David in Salt Lake City; Sara in Arizona; and Karen in Texas. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren. Funeral services were held Saturday, May 28, 1994 in Orem. Burial was in the Spanish Fork City Cemetery.

George Cannon

Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1895 to 1901. Third President of the Board of Trustees, 1897 to 1901. Born 1827 Liverpool, England. Baptized about 1840. Practiced plural marriage; five wives. Ordained Apostle, and sustained to the Quorum of the Twelve 1860. Counselor to Brigham Young 1873. Assistant Counselor to Brigham Young 1874-77. First Counselor to John Taylor 1880-1887 First Counselor to Wilford Woodruff 1889-1898. First Counselor to Lorenzo Snow 1898-1901. Died 1901 in Monterey, California. President George Q. Cannon was born in 1827 in Liverpool, England the eldest child of George Cannon and his wife Ann Quayle Cannon. His father became aware of the Gospel when his sister, Leonora Cannon, with her husband and future president of the church, John Taylor, was baptized by Parley P. Pratt in 1836. Four years later, John Taylor, while on a mission in England, converted the Cannon family George Q. was thirteen and he was baptized at the same time. Two years later The family left Liverpool and sailed for America. George's mother died during their voyage, leaving her six children and a widowed husband to reach Nauvoo, Illinois, without her. Arriving in Nauvoo in the spring of 1843, George lived with John and Leonara Taylor's family. Soon thereafter, George began work as a printer's apprentice for his uncle in the publishing office of the Times and Seasons and the Nauvoo Neighbor. George watched over the affairs of the printing business while his uncle recovered from wounds he received at the Carthage Jail when the Prophet and Hyrum were murdered. Two years after the family's arrival in Nauvoo, George's father also died. George Cannon accompanied the Taylors to Winter Quarters in 1846, and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in October 1847. In 1849 he served a Mission to California and from there to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) where he served for four years. Almost immediately upon his return to Utah, he was sent out again, this time he was to assist Parley P. Pratt in a newspaper venture. Arriving in California, he found Elder Pratt preparing to depart. Elder Pratt took the fortuitous meeting as an opportunity to set Elder Cannon apart as President of the California and Oregon Mission. While thus engaged Elder Cannon published the first edition of the Book of Mormon in the Hawaiian language. He returned to Utah on hearing of preparations for war in Utah. He was commissioned a lieutenant general in the Nauvoo Legion. With the successful conclusion of the Utah War he was called to preside over the Eastern States Mission. At the murder of Elder Parley P. Pratt, he was ordained an Apostle by President Brigham Young, entering the Quorum of the Twelve at the age of 33. A call to preside over the European Mission was cut short by his election to Congress and the need for pressing Utah's bid for statehood. He sailed immediately for the States and went to Washington, DC. At the adjournment of the 1862 congressional session, he returned to Europe for two years to continue his assignment as presiding authority. The autumn of his life was tarnished by Federal persecution of Church members who practiced plural marriage. George Q. and his five wives were harassed by federal agents and in 1885 they were forced to go into seclusion. In 1888 he surrendered himself to authorities and served six months for cohabitation. In 1873, President Young called him to serve as a Counselor to the First Presidency. From that time until the time of his death, he served in the First Presidency, serving as Counselor to an unprecedented four Presidents of the Church; Brigham Young, John Taylor , Wilford Woodruff and Lorenzo Snow. All this time he was getting seniority in the Quorum of the Twelve and was (next to President Snow, of course) the senior Apostle at the time of his death. George Q. Cannon, a counselor in the First Presidency of the Church, became president of the Brigham Young Academy Board of Trustees in 1897 and served until 1901, when Church President Lorenzo Snow became Board President. President Cannon had favored the founding of the Academy and was a firm spiritual and financial friend of the school from its beginning. BYU named Cannon Center in the Helaman Halls in his honor.

John Cannon

Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1886 to 1887. Born 1857 San Francisco, California. Baptized 1865. Ordained Elder 1873. Married Elizabeth Anne "Annie" Wells 1880; twelve children Mission to Europe; thence to Swiss and German Mission 1881-1884. President of Swiss and German Mission 1883-1884. Second Counselor in Presiding Bishopric 1884-1886. Excommunicated 1886. Rebaptized 1888. Died 1931 Salt Lake City, Utah. The following biographical sketch is adapted from the LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, compiled and edited by Andrew Jenson, Volume 1, page 243 and from other sources. John Quayle Cannon, second counselor to [Presiding] Bishop William. B. Preston from 1884 to 1886, was the eldest son of George Q. Cannon and Elizabeth Hoagland, and was born in San Francisco, Cal., April 19, 1857, his father at that time being on a mission to California, accompanied by his wife. They returned the following winter to Salt Lake City, where John Q. was baptized by his father, April 19, 1865. In July, 1873, he was ordained to the office of an Elder. John learned the trade of a printer at the Deseret News Office. He was married to Elizabeth Anne "Annie" Wells, daughter of Daniel H. Wells, in 1880. They would eventually have twelve children but before that he was called to take a mission to Europe. He left home Aug. 9, 1881, and arrived in Liverpool, England, on the 27th. After laboring in the London conference for about seven months, he was called to the Swiss and German Mission, where he labored a short time in the North German conference; afterwards he was secretary of the mission, with headquarters at Berne, Switzerland, and finally succeeded P. F. Goss in the presidency of the mission. He occupied the latter position for about ten months. Before returning home he visited the principal cities on the European Continent, having been joined by his wife, in whose company he returned home June 25, 1884, after an absence of about three years. At October conference Elder Cannon was appointed to act as second counselor to Presiding Bishop Wm. B. Preston, a position which he occupied until September, 1886. He was released from the presiding Bishopric and excommunicated from the Church September 5, 1896, the result of an unwillingness to abide the constraints of the Manifesto and the moral codes of the Gospel. It is unclear whether this involved an unauthorized plural marriage or immorality outside the bands of marriage. He, however, manifested a spirit of repentance and was rebaptized two years later on May 6, 1888. From 1889 to 1892 he was editor of the Ogden Standard, and from October, 1892, until the breaking out of the war with Spain, April 1898, he was editor in chief of the Deseret News. He returned to that position after the war and worked with the Deseret News until his death. The Salt Lake Tribune reported an interesting incident obstensibly concerning the rivalry between the Tribune and the News but possibly relating to the matter over which Cannon was eventually excommunicated. "John Q. Cannon, an editor at the News, took the conflict to the streets when he confronted Tribune reporter Joseph Lippman on the corner of State and First South to demand a retraction for a 'vile' story. 'I want you to get right down here on your knees and apologize for the lie you published about me,' Cannon sputtered. When Lippman refused, Cannon sent his rival 'flying through the air as if a cannonball had struck him' and then beat Lippman with a whip. Cannon pleaded guilty to the assault and paid a small fine, but went on to serve as executive editor of the News off-and-on until his death in 1931." Having been since 1894 prominently connected with military affairs in Utah, he enlisted as a volunteer for the war, and in May, 1898 was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, serving as such in Florida until mustered out at the close of hostilities. Brother Cannon died Jan. 14, 1931, in Salt Lake City. (See Bio. Ency., Vol. 1, p. 243.)
