Martha & Isaiah Cox

BYA Uncategorized Other Student. Martha Cragun Cox: A Teacher and a Record Keeper. Martha Cragun Cox was a thorough record keeper, a driven and curious student who spent time at Brigham Young Academy, and a dedicated teacher, committed to her children and her God. One reason Martha is known in history is because she wrote a handwritten autobiography of over three hundred pages. Her diligence in recording her own stories stands as a powerful example. Martha was born March 3, 1852, southeast of Salt Lake City. She moved to St. George with her family when she was eleven. Martha grew up in poverty, yet she developed an impressive appetite for reading and learning. One day, when she was sixteen, she ran into a group of young boys who were skipping school. She chastised them and said, �If I were your teacher, I�d be sorry to have you out of school.� To which one boy responded, �If you were our teacher, we wouldn�t skip school.� She responded lamenting she didn�t know much, to which another boy responded, �I should think you�d teach us all that you do know�. Martha explained, �I cannot refuse to go to the aid of the children�. With only a little over a year of schooling under her belt, she became an assistant teacher; then she opened her first school when she was eighteen. She continued teaching in various capacities until she died.

Mrs. Cox was born March 3, 1852, at Millcreek, Utah and lived there until 11 years of age, coming to Dixie [St. George, Utah] with her parents in 1863. She was one of the first school teachers here, becoming engaged in that career when she was seventeen years old, and since that time has taught between 45 and 50 years. After her marriage to Isaiah Cox in the endowment house in Salt Lake, she moved to Overton, Nevada, and a few years later to Bunkerville. She was a third wife and assisted in the support of her family by school teaching in practically every community in which she lived. In 1900, at the call of President A. W. Ivins, she went to Old Mexico with a party from Bunkerville, and remained there for seven or eight years. She secured her education largely through her own efforts and principally by summer school courses, graduated from the University of Utah. Throughout her life she was an active worker in the Church, and has one of the largest genealogical records of any member of the organization. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Rose Cox Bunker, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Francis Cox Bunker, Salt Lake, and two sons, Edward Cox of Salt Lake, and Frank L. Cox of St. George. Four children have preceded her in death. Funeral services were held on Sunday in the Emigration Ward. Speakers included President A. W.

[Note: Her name and photo do not appear with a senior class in any BYH Wildcat yearbooks.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Bernice Crandall Dain passed away January 17, 2007 in Orem, Utah. She fought a courageous battle with growing old! Bernice was born August 27, 1919 to Paul and Amanda Lawrence Crandall, and grew up in Provo. She attended BY High School, and kept in touch with many of her classmates. She spotted her future husband, Frank, one day when he came to town from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, to work on the construction of the Geneva Steel plant. He drove into town in his red convertible, and the rest was history. They were married on August 28, 1944 and raised 3 children together. In 1952 they bought their dream home in the Edgemont area of Provo, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their home was always warm and welcome to all who entered. Bernice loved people, and loved to sell. In the sixties she worked in Provo for Clarks Department Store in the gift shop. She had a great touch for just the right thing in the right place, and that gift was also reflected in her home. She later started selling cosmetics, and eventually ended up at ZCMI selling her favorite, "Estee Lauder". She was the "Estee Lauder Lady" to hundreds of friends and strangers alike. She was recognized many times for her sales accomplishments by those who employed her and worked with her. She loved to golf and saw to it that her children and grandchildren had that opportunity. Her grandchildren recall many fond memories of golfing with Grandma at Riverside. She had, and will always have, unconditional love for her children and grandchildren, and will be remembered for that. Bernice was preceded in death by her husband Frank, who will be happy to put his arms around his "little fox". Bernice is survived by her three children: daughters, Terry Dain of Springville, and Nancy Dain of Salt Lake City; son, Jim (Pam Jacobson) Dain of Lindon; nine grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; and her loving and caring sister, Paulene (Conway) Clayton of Orem, whom the family wishes to express a special thank you to. Funeral services were held Friday, January 19, 2007, in the Edgemont 4th Ward LDS Chapel in Provo. Interment, East Lawn Memorial Hills Cemetery. [Provo Daily Herald, January 18, 2007.]
