Faculty & Staff. Warren N. Dusenberry. First Principal of BY Academy from fall of 1875 until he resigned in spring of 1876. Dusenberry, Warren Newton (1836-1915) -- also known as Warren N. Dusenberry -- of Provo, Utah County, Utah. Born in 1836. Mayor of Provo, Utah, 1892-93. Died in 1915. The founding of Brigham Young Academy in Provo rather than Salt Lake City was undoubtedly due to the educational endeavors of Warren and Wilson Dusenberry. They had founded two schools, both of which were eminently successful, even though they were financially unstable. Warren was first principal of the Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret, which later became the University of Utah. The Provo branch had to close because of lack of financial support by the parent institution. Because of his educational experience it was only natural that Warren was chosen as the first principal of BYA, although he made it clear that he would only serve until a permanent principal was appointed. He preferred to go into the practice of law, where he would not have to push wheelbarrows around to collect produce for tuition. He preferred the tumult and the controversy of the law with its financial security to the peace of education with its financial uncertainty. After serving as principal only a few months, Brigham Young's hand-picked choice for principal, Karl G. Maeser, arrived as his successor. ~ ~ ~ ~ Warren Newton Dusenberry was born on November 1, 1836 in Whitehaven, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania [or Easton, Northhampton, Pennsylvania]. His parents were Mahlon Dusenberry and Aurilla Coray Dusenberry. He married Adelaide Elizabeth Webb on June 18, 1865 in Payson, Utah. She was born on April 11, 1845 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Pardon Knapp Webb and Clarissa Jane Lee. He died in 1915. ~ ~ ~ ~ Warren Newton Dusenberry Born November 1, 1836 White Haven, Pennsylvania Died March 31, 1915 (aged 78) Warren Newton Dusenberry (November 1, 1836 – March 31, 1915) was the founding principal of Brigham Young Academy in 1876. Dusenberry was only a temporary principal. He also served as County Judge of Utah County and mayor of Provo. Prior to serving as principal of Brigham Young Academy, Dusenberry had been the president of the short-lived Timpanogos Branch of the University of Deseret. Dusenberry was born in White Haven, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In 1840 he moved with his parents to Pike County, Illinois. Shortly after this his mother joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but his father did not. Due to this, when the majority of the Latter Day Saints moved to Utah the Dusenberry family remained in Illinois. In 1860, they moved to Los Angeles, California and in 1862 Dusenberry moved with his mother, brother Wilson Dusenberry, and two sisters to Provo, Utah Territory, leaving his father and one brother behind in California. Dusenberry worked as a school teacher and merchant in Provo. He also was baptized a member of the LDS Church. In 1867, he went on a mission to the Southern States. From 1870 to 1875 he was head of the University of Deseret's Timpanogos Branch. After being principal of Brigham Young Academy, Dusenberry became the Utah County Prosecutor and the Provo City Attorney. In 1892 Dusenberry was elected mayor of Provo, defeating Reed Smoot.

Board of Trustees, Brigham Young Academy, 1883 to 1921. Wilson H. Dusenberry. Wilson and his brother, Warren, left California in 1862 and moved to Provo. In the fall of 1869, the two brothers started a school that later became known as the Timpanogos Branch of Deseret University, the predecessor of Brigham Young Academy. By 1891, Wilson had left teaching behind and had become a banker. He served as the cashier of the First National Bank. He served as Secretary - Treasurer of Brigham Young Academy, later was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy. Wilson Howard Dusenberry married Margaret Thompson Smoot on 25 Nov 1874. They had 6 children. He was very active in religious, government, and educational affairs in the state. He was mayor of Provo; a member of the state legislature; Utah County Superintendent of Schools; secretary-treasurer of Brigham Young Academy, and later, on the Board of Trustees of Brigham Young Academy; county clerk; cashier of First National Bank of Provo, with A. O. Smoot as President, and later cashier of Utah County Savings Bank; secretary-treasurer of Provo Theatre Company; on the Executive Board of Brigham Young University; and he served as assistant postmaster of Provo until he was 72 years of age. ~~~~~ Wilson H.

His parents were Thomas Jefferson Eastmond and Esther Jane Hindley. He married Margaret Craig Hull on April 2, 1913 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on August 17, 1936 in Provo, Utah.

A large percentage of the people living here were born in foreign countries. According to the Utah Atlas, Utah's foreign-born inhabitants in 1870 made up over half of the adult population. In 1880, almost 60 percent of the people in the territory over 20 years of age and nearly 70 percent of those over 30 were born outside of the United States. Most of Utah's foreign-born people came from Scandinavia and England where May Day festivities were popular. Consequently, in Utah, the tradition of erecting a Maypole and braiding it with ribbon remained strong for many years. In Utah Valley, braiding the Maypole probably reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the 1920s. May Day festivities were so prevalent during that era that in 1921, BYH/BYU professor Elbert H. Eastmond wrote a May Day pageant called "A Tribute of Gladness." A full-page article in the Deseret News provided a list of characters, script, and detailed instructions on the music, costumes and sets for this May Day extravaganza. Eastmond's pageant portrayed the arrival of spring with dancing flowers and waving trees. Then the May Day procession arrived with the Jacks of the Green carrying the Maypole, which they soon set up. At this point, the Lord of May escorted the Lady of May to a throne where she was crowned Queen of the May, and the newly crowned monarch watched dancers plait the Maypole. After the dance came to a conclusion, children carrying flower crowns appeared. They placed these crowns upon the heads of the grandmothers and grandfathers in the audience and escorted the old people to seats of honor in specially decorated chairs. To conclude the pageant, the audience joined the cast in singing "Count Your Many Blessings," and a guest offered the benediction. May dances performed on schoolyards were not usually as elaborate as this pageant, although in the 1920s, Provo's elementary schools united to stage several fairly credible productions. On the morning of May 23, 1921, the same year that professor Eastmond wrote his pageant, students from Provo's five elementary schools converged upon downtown Provo and staged an intricate May dance. (Notice that these dances were not always performed on May 1.) For the occasion, each school selected a Queen of May and two attendants. The queens in 1921 were Marie Olson, Parker School; Mamie Bell, Central; Norma Sutton, Maeser; Vilet Cox, Timpanogos; and Daisy Fail, Franklin. These queens received flower crowns on the day of the performance and witnessed the dances from a seat of honor.

Forms, charts, and tables are included. ~ ~ ~ ~ Recipient of BYH President's Appreciation Award in April 1985. ~ ~ ~ ~ Though I was born in Provo, I was raised in Berkeley and El Cerrito, California. My parents, E. John (Jack) and Helen Swenson Eastmond, were living in Berkeley where my father was working for his PhD in Physics. I was born in May 1938 while they were visiting my mother's parents in Provo. Before school began again in the fall, my father came back and picked us both up and drove us to our home in Berkeley in our Model “T” Ford we named "Skippy". My earliest memories include the many picnic lunches with Dad on the Berkeley campus, and riding the ferry across the Bay to San Francisco and the Golden Gate Park to visit the zoo, the seals at the beach, and riding over the new Golden Gate Bridge. Christmas of 1950 found our family moving to Provo, where my father had accepted a professorship at BYU. I still vividly remember sledding from our BYU owned house, where the Marriott Center now stands, down the hill with two feet of fresh snow into the field where the Helaman Halls now stand. Less than two weeks later, I started attending BY High in the middle of my seventh grade. My experiences with friends and teachers during the next six years are among my cherished memories. During my senior year at BY High, I learned why I had never enjoyed playing tennis, golf, baseball, or even ping pong: I had an eye condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. Besides not being able to see well at night, I was developing tunnel vision. I had aspired to become an architect, and had worked for a local architect all three years in high school. In fact, I had witnessed the drawing up of the new Provo High School as well as the David O. McKay, Joseph F. Smith, and Ernest L. Wilkinson buildings on the BYU campus. I took the news pretty hard, especially the fact that I could soon be totally blind. After taking two years of classes at BYU, my bishop told me that the Lord wanted me to serve an LDS mission. After much prayer, I accepted a call to the British Mission, and witnessed many wonderful events take place immediately after the dedication of the London Temple including the great expansion of the church during the next two years from a single mission to four. Upon returning home and receiving a blessing telling me to be patient, that my future vocation was soon to be known, I decided to continue taking classes in Mathematics and Accounting, and for the first time, in Interior Design, so I could continue working for my former employer as a consultant, however brief it might be. I soon discovered that I had an artistic talent, and later, as promised, during accounting classes, was exposed to a brand new field, programming computers. Since no degrees were yet offered in computers, I obtained a BA in 1963 and an MS in 1965, both at BYU in Art and Design, and I have never regretted it. The day after graduation, I began full time work at BYU programming for the Payroll Department. Six months later, I accepted an offer at BYU to program for Institutional Research and Planning, an office responsible for accessing data from all other university systems on campus for analysis and reports. During the next thirty years, I witnessed both the marvelous growth at BYU, and the fantastic and rapid development of computer technology. Now that I am retired and blind, I still enjoy my own personal computer with its speech output, and more memory than those large computers BYU once had. When I started working for BYU, I met my wife, Bonnie, who was the control clerk in the Data Processing Center on campus. We were married in September 1966, and lived in Orem, Utah, where we raised our five children: Mark, Scott, Steven, Loriann, and Brian. With the exception of Brian, they have all married and we now have fourteen grandchildren. After retiring in 1994, we moved to American Fork and have lived there since. In 2001, Bonnie and I served in the Oregon Eugene Mission. (We were in the MTC during 9-11.) Last July (2005), we had a glorious time on a Church history tour in New York and Ohio, learning many new things about the church. Since then, I have been very busy on the internet, researching and doing temple work for our kindred dead. @2011
