Class of 1924. Philo Taylor Farnsworth, of Rigby, Idaho. His surname is given in the 1924 BYU Banyan yearbook, BYH section. ~ ~ ~ ~ His full name is given in the Class of 1924. Background sources: BYU/BYH Annual Catalogues for the School Years 1923-24, 1924-25, and 1925-26. ~ ~ ~ ~ Philo Taylor Farnsworth was born on August 19, 1906, Indian Creek, Beaver, Utah. His parents were Lewis Edwin Farnsworth and Serena Amanda Bastian. He married Elma "Pem" Gardner on May 27, 1926, and they had four children. Her parents were Bernard Edward Gardner and Alice Maria Mecham. Philo T. Farnsworth died on March 11, 1971 in Salt Lake City [Holladay], Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILO TAYLOR FARNSWORTH - 1906-1971. Philo T. Farnsworth is best known as the inventor of the purely electronic television system. He drew the first workable television design while a student at Rigby High School in Idaho. A statue placed in Statutory Hall in the Capitol Building at Washington, D.C. on May 2, 1990 is dedicated to the memory of Philo Farnsworth as the “Father of Television.” He was born August 19, 1906 in Beaver, Utah, and educated in Utah and Idaho schools. His parents encouraged his scientific mind; by the age of six, Farnsworth had declared his intentions of becoming an inventor. In 1919 at the age of thirteen, at the Bungalow Ranch near Rigby, Idaho, Farnsworth won a first prize of $25.00 for his theft-proof ignition switch for automobiles. In 1922, at Rigby High School, he developed and sketched his first ideas for the electronic transmission of images for his high school chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman. It is important to consider that radio in 1922 was in its infancy, with only thirty licensed broadcasting stations in the United States. None of these stations were in Idaho; only one was in Utah. Farnsworth graduated from Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah in 1924. He entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, but was granted a release after his father’s death. He attended Brigham Young University, but left at the end of his second year. Farnsworth married Elma “Pem” Gardner on May 27, 1926. Together they moved to Los Angeles, California and Farnsworth joined the Crocker Research Laboratories to work with television technology. At the age of twenty, he produced the first all-electronic television image using his wife as the subject of the image. Farnsworth filed Patent #1,773,980 entitled Television System on January 7, 1927, and was granted the patent on August 25, 1930. By 1929 Crocker Research Laboratories had been renamed Farnsworth Television, Inc., of California. A Russian immigrant, Vladimir Zworykin had also applied for a television patent as early as 1923, and a lawsuit emerged to determine who owned the basic patent for the electronic system that became television. The drawing Farnsworth had given to Mr. Tolman in his 1922 high school chemistry class provided the necessary proof, thereby preserving the television patent rights for Farnsworth. Many have noted that the contributions of Farnsworth’s wife, Pem, were significant. As his assistant during their forty-five year marriage, she took care of all correspondence and became an expert draftswoman, working on many of his drawings. She provided the climate in which Farnsworth could continue his research. At the age of sixty-four, Farnsworth held more than 300 United States and foreign patents, most of which made possible the television industry as we know it. Farnsworth died March 11, 1971. Among many other honors, there is a museum in Rigby, Idaho called “The Birthplace of Television,” which was dedicated to Farnsworth in 1988. In 1983 the U.S. Post Office issued a Philo T. Farnsworth twenty-cent stamp, with the likeness of his face and his first television camera. He was also honored by his induction into the Inventors Hall of Fame and awarded an honorary Doctor of Science Degree at Brigham Young University. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Elma (Pem) Gardner Farnsworth died quietly at 3 a.m. on Thursday, April 27, 2006 in Bountiful, Utah at the age of 98. Pem was born February 25, 1908 in Jensen, Utah to Alice Mecham and Bernard Gardner, the fourth of nine children. In 1923 the family moved to Provo where she met Philo Farnsworth whom she married on May 27, 1926. They were later sealed for eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Philo (Phil), with the help of Pem and her brother Cliff, created the first working electronic television system in San Francisco in 1927. Pem's face was the first televised image. Phil's first three notebooks, with drawings by Pem, are now in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Pem and Phil moved to Philadelphia and spent the war years, 1939 to 1947, in Brownfield, Maine. They then moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In 1968 they returned to Salt Lake City where Phil died in 1971. Since this time Pem wrote an informative book, Distant Vision, about her life with her husband. She also appeared in the PBS-TV Discovery series in an hour long film, Big Dream, Small Screen. Pem had a life long love of learning. She motivated many school children to go for their dreams She spoke about Phil and what they could also accomplish if they applied themselves. She was very dedicated to her husband and children. An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she had a strong testimony of the truth of this gospel. She served in the Relief Society presidency and filled many other callings. She was preceded in death by her husband and two of their four sons: Kenneth and Philo III. She is survived by sons Russell (Rose) in New York City and Kent (Linda) in Ft. Wayne, Indiana; eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Lois Anderson, Bountiful. Funeral services were held Friday, May 12, 2006 in Provo. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. The family suggested donations to the Philo T. Farnsworth Foundation at 2000 Ironton Blvd., Provo, Utah 84606. [Deseret News, May 6, 2006.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Pem Gardner Farnsworth died on April 27, 2006, in Bountiful, Utah, at the age of 98.

Surrounded by his loving family, Nicholas Larsen Faulkner passed away peacefully at his home in Beaver, Utah, on March 14, 2021. Nick was born on December 6, 1942, the fifth child of William Charles and Bernice Larsen Faulkner in Spokane, Washington. Shortly thereafter his family moved to their fruit farm in Edgemont, the river bottoms area of Provo, Utah. He spent his childhood doing many jobs on the farm from irrigating at all hours of the night to taking care of the livestock. At the young age of ten, he picked cherries where he lost his first day’s wages for not leaving the stems on. Nick graduated from Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah, in the Class of 1961. He had many faithful friends that he stayed in contact with until his final days. He learned the value of hard work from his dad and older brother; he was doted on by his three, loving, older sisters. Nick was blessed with a keen mind and a great sense of business right to the very end. He owned and operated many successful businesses in multiple states, which often required that he fly his personal plane, which he loved doing. Flying was one of his many passions. When Nick was not working, he could be found on the lake boating, snowmobiling in West Yellowstone, riding ATVs in the Tusher mountains, or riding his Harley in Sturgis with his wife and boys. In 1967 he met and married Karyl Skinner, who had two sons of her own, and together they added four more. They later divorced. In 2003, he married his eternal companion and love of his life, Patrea Rasmusson; from this union he gained a daughter and two more sons. He and Patrea lived in the beautiful valley of Beaver, Utah. He often proudly told his friends that there were no stop lights in Beaver; when the first one was installed, he was not happy about it. Nick is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served faithfully in many callings. Several times he served as a Scoutmaster and was a great example to many boys. He also served as a ward mission leader, a ward clerk, and a stake clerk. Nick had a true testimony of tithing and fast offerings, and was blessed richly throughout his life. He was truly the best Dad, Grandpa (Gramps), and husband ever!!

She was an artist, and they were later divorced. He second married Fiametta Rhead on September 7, 1940. Fiametta was born on April 8, 1897 in Coalville, Utah. Her parents were James B. Rhead and Maria Martin Rhead. Fiametta Fausett died on October 13, 1989 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her interment, Price, Utah. Lynn Fausett died on August 17, 1977 in Salt Lake City, Utah. His interment, Price, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ Lynn Fausett was born February 27, 1894, in Price, Utah -- just 15 years after the first white people settled there. He was the oldest of eight children and encouraged his younger brother, Dean, also to become an artist. Later, Dean did just that. Lynn studied art at Brigham Young High School, Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, and the Art Students League of New York, while living on very modest means. He later served as President of the Art Students League for 14 years. He was honored for stabilizing the league, which was reeling from the clashes of artistic rivalries on the staff and in the membership and was in financial trouble. During his presidency, the League liberalized its requirements for membership and placed a three-year limitation on Board membership. This condition continues today. Under Fausett, the League embarked on a greatly broadened approach to teaching and included teachers with radically different points of view on the staff. Fausett also studied fresco painting in France and mosaics in Germany and Italy. He worked on murals for numerous important buildings including the Nebraska State Capitol, St. Bartholomew Church in New York, Irving Trust Co. in New York, Wall Street in New York City, the Foreign Exchange Telephone Building in New York City, the Baltimore Trust Co. in Maryland, Union Station in Kansas City, at the Chicago Worlds Fair, and many others. He worked on four murals under WPA sponsorship, beginning with a mural for his home town in the Price City Hall, which involved nearly two years of work. Fausett also managed to complete other commissions including a large mural in the Union Building of the University of Wyoming and another work at the White Pine High School in Ely, Nevada. In addition, he painted many murals for the L.D.S. Church, including a Mural commemorating the 63rd anniversary of the founding of the Primary Association (the children's auxiliary). Fausett's paintings utilized a technique employing gauche and tempera with oil varnishes rather than oil pigment itself. His earlier style partook of the 1930s American Scene art as popularized by Reginald Marsh and others. Later he overly employed photographs, especially upon his return to Utah in the 1960s. From about 1942 on, Fausett produced easel paintings of historical subjects and of impressions he retained from his childhood, including military life, ranch scenes, cattle drives, and various recollections of Utah Canyon country. Lynn Fausett earned a place in Who's Who in New York in 1938, in Who's Who in America in 1940, and was twice listed in more recent years in Who's Who in American Art.
