Class of 1956. Chuck Hackley. Ski Club, Gun Club President, Chess Club, Rocks & Minerals Club, and six year, Fred Webb choir member. ~ ~ ~ ~ "Joan, the love of my life, and I live in Death Valley, California. We have five living children and one looking down on our ventures. We are thrilled to be grandparents of fourteen vibrant grandchildren living in either Alaska, Utah, Idaho or California. I served a mission among the Navajos, Apaches, Hopis and Pueblo Indians between college years at Utah State University. I graduated in Forestry and spent five years frolicking with Smokey The Bear in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Next came a stint as a stock broker, film producer, TV commercial creator, and specialized furniture manufacturer in the greater Salt Lake City arena. All that got to be too much, so I slowed down and became a manager for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in El Paso Texas. After about five years of adjusting we decided to go to Montana and live on a ranch. We did so, and also built a medical supply business. As soon as the kids all got married we sold out, hopped in a motor home and toured the country. We ended up in San Diego where we searched and located the graves of the five Mormon Battalion members who died there. I can’t stand to lay around so bought a thirty-five-year-old company, Southwest Promotional Corporation, and we are taking it nationwide. We believe that: Life is for laughing, loving and living; and not for whining, working and worrying!” @2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ Provo Daily Herald News Article: Dedicated genealogists accomplish the impossible. Chuck Hackley and his wife Joan rumbled around San Diego for three years, collected vital genealogical burial facts and filled in history forever, for five American patriots. I met Chuck last Saturday at a BY High School reunion in the refurbished Brigham Young Academy building at 5th North and University. Chuck talks fast, cautions, "you might not be interested ... " then continues his recitation. I was interested. Chuck wondered where these five were buried. He felt belittled, hearing a skeptic, "You'll never find out! " He fired up his after-burners, responded, "Nobody tells Chuck Hackley that! " He began a search for the five grave sites. He and Joan looked, searched, researched. Part of the search was direct, empirical, another part, pure inspiration, he told me. Five patriots, all members of the U.S. armed forces, and further, members of the Mormon Battalion, died of natural causes in 1847, while in San Diego. He and Joan started looking for the burial sites of the five, Albert Dunham, David Smith, Neal Donald, Lafayette Frost and Lydia Hunter. Dunham died of a brain tumor, Smith, Donald and Frost died of unknown causes. But, most interesting to me, Lydia Hunter, wife of Captain Jesse Hunter, just 22, died April 27, 1847, at Old Town, San Diego. She died 10 days following the birth of her son, Diego James Hunter, San Diego's first-born U.S. citizen. Lydia! What a way to go! Weakened, she contracted typhoid fever, took about six days to die. From her doctor's journal, Chuck learned her high fever caused delirium. Her saliva drooled. She suffered deathlike diarrhea and dehydration. Her breasts emitted pus at the end. Compared with typhoid, death is a gift. Earlier, Lydia walked 2000 miles alongside her Captain husband, Jesse D. Hunter, from July 1846 to April 1847, pregnant throughout the trek. They had been married 14 months at the time of her death. Chuck and Joan searched letters, journals, newspapers, interviewed authors, cemetery keepers, church and military persons, national park superintendents. They wrote letters, sent e-mails, made phone calls, visited site after site. They enlisted others, raised $30,000 selling replicas of the original Mormon Battalion Blanket. They found all five grave sites, placed a plaque at four sites, with one to complete. The Battalion stepped off history's longest march, blazed new trails, discovered the site of the Donner Party disaster, witnessed gold discovery at Sutter's Mill. Norma Baldwin Ricketts, author of The Mormon Battalion, endorsed Hackley's work you can read in "A Quest For Sleeping Heroes," now available at http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=3827982 . Chuck told me Brigham Young prophesied to the Mormon Battalioneers, "You will never be forgotten, worlds without end, but will be held in honorable remembrance." Thanks to Chuck, I hereby honor these five for their achievements in service of country and God. And, Chuck, your genealogy research task honors you!

Irene and Edwin Gibbs

Class of 1952. Irene Hafen. Band, Chorus, Photography Club, Notre Maison, Shorthand Club, Thespians. She married Edwin G. Gibbs. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: On April 17, 2022, a bright and beautiful Easter morning, Irene Hafen Gibbs returned peacefully to her Heavenly Father. She was 88 years old. Irene was born March 1, 1934, to Joseph and Mary Harris Hafen, in Provo, Utah. She was the fifth of eleven children. It was the middle of the Great Depression, and World War II began soon after. The whole country was impoverished and rationing was part of daily life. There were very few modern comforts, and Irene often wanted for more, but her circumstances bred resilience and creativity. She spent her days at school, church, and roaming the neighborhood playing with cousins and friends. She attended Franklin Elementary, Dixon Middle School, Brigham Young High School, Brigham Young University, LDS Business College and, later in life, Weber State University. As a young woman, Irene held numerous jobs, often several at once, including as a telephone operator in Provo, as the recreation director at the Girls MIA Home in Provo Canyon, now Timpanogos Lodge, and as a switchboard operator in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. Eventually she became a seasonal worker at Alta Peruvian Lodge, where she met Edwin Godbe Gibbs. They married June 4, 1960, in Provo Utah, and were sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. Irene and Edwin lived at the Peruvian Lodge for many years, raising children, teaching at the Alf Engen Ski School, and running the lodge. Eventually, they moved their growing family to Lehi, Utah. Irene became the first female EMT to work for the Lehi Ambulance where she proved her worth many times. She became an EMT instructor, and worked for Utah State Emergency Medical Services. She raised her children with freedom and love. Her life was not a peaceful one. Instead it was loud, rambunctious, full of personality and angst, large family gatherings, ice-cream, chop-suey, boating, camp-outs, and a million efforts to keep her kids and husband alive, happy, and wearing shoes. She never did anything the easy way. If something had to be done, she would do it bigger and more fabulous than expected. Eventually, she bravely returned to school and became a Registered Nurse. She worked in several medical arenas, most notably Jordan Valley Hospital ER where, for more than a decade, she cared for traumatized families and individuals, and made many good friends. She has traveled the world by car, plane, and boat. She loved to be near the ocean and hear the waves on the rocks. She loved the mountains, lakes, sunsets and sunrises. Irene has always been intensely devoted to her faith and membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings including Stake Primary Board, Relief Society President, Scout Leader, senior missionary in Little Rock, Arkansas, and for many years as a temple worker. She has constantly sought to strengthen her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was an avid reader and studied the teachings of the prophets every day. Irene is preceded in death by her husband, Edwin Godbe Gibbs; her parents, Joseph and Mary Harris Hafen; siblings Joe (Ethel) Hafen, Norma (Weston) Henrie, Louise Stott, Stephen (Cindy) Hafen, Raymond Hafen, and Mary (Eric) Tuttle; and great-grandson, Kazen Black. She is survived by siblings John Mark (Carma) Hafen, Carol (Cecil) Jones, Esther (Jerry) Blackburn, Margaret (Ralph) Rupp; her eight children and their spouses- Dena and Jim Smith, Lauren and Ruthann Gibbs, Edwin and Bonnie Gibbs, Michael and C.J. Gibbs, Bradley and Kristin Gibbs, Cortney and Lori Gibbs, Heather and MacKay Jones, Preston and Amanda Gibbs; thirty-three grandchildren; thirty-eight great-grandchildren; and her loyal pup, Reggie.
He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” Source. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER HUSBAND'S OBITUARY: Beloved father, husband, brother and friend, Edwin Godbe Gibbs, passed away October 5, 2004 of natural causes. Edwin was born February 7, 1922 in Salt Lake City to Mary Godbe and Lauren Worthen Gibbs. He married Irene Hafen June 4, 1960 in Provo, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple. Edwin graduated from East High School and served in the Army during World War II. Following his service Edwin earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Utah and worked in municipal finance, playing a key role in the financing of Lehi's swimming pool. Edwin was well known in the community as someone who would provide legal services to those in need. Edwin was instrumental in a plan that moved surplus military buildings from Brigham City to Little Cottonwood Canyon, thus creating the Alta Peruvian Lodge, his home for over 20 years. His family continues to enjoy the stories of deep powder and steaming swimming pools that were the mainstay of those years. By gathering and photographing snowflakes on a piece of black velvet, Edwin designed the Alta Peruvian Lodge symbol that later became the famous "Alta Snowflake" logo. After selling the lodge in 1970, Edwin moved his family to Lehi, Utah. Edwin loved to play. He was well known for his "bus camper" -- the hamburgers he cooked during ward campouts -- and his soft-serve ice cream machine. Edwin supported his sons in the Boy Scouts by attending and hosting numerous scout trips. He loved skiing (snow and water), boating, bow hunting, fishing, duck hunting, and camping with his family. Edwin is survived by his wife of 44 years, Irene, and eight children, Dena (Jim) Smith of Lehi; Lauren (Ruthann) Gibbs of Murray; Edwin (Bonnie) Gibbs of Round Valley; Michael (Carol) Gibbs of Enoch; Bradley (Kristin) Gibbs of Riverton; Cortney (Lori) Gibbs of Boise, Idaho; Heather (MacKay) Jones of Salt Lake City; Preston Gibbs of Murray; 27 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren. Also survived by brothers William G. Gibbs and Peter G. (Mimi) Gibbs of Salt Lake City and one sister, Mary Adele Monson of Bountiful. Interment, American Fork City Cemetery with military honors by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. [Deseret News, Thursday, October 7, 2004.] @2007

Class of 1949. Robert A. Hague. He graduated from BYH on May 26, 1949. Source: 1949 BYH Graduation Exercises Program. ~ ~ ~ ~ I was raised in the small community of Picture Butte, Alberta, Canada. I completed grade 12 there (but did not matriculate under the Alberta education system then in vogue). My high school principal, Mr. Harold Wiltse, wisely counseled me to apply for a program at Brigham Young University where I could finish high school and also receive college credit at the same time, thus simulaneously obtaining a high school diploma and completing a freshman year at BYU. So it was that in September 1948 I was in Provo, fully involved in that program. I recall that there were a number of other Canadian students doing the same thing, including Duane Butler, Watson Ririe, Ardath Greene and Lois Stone. My social interaction with the BY High students was quite limited because I lived in the old army barracks on the Upper Campus, and had most of my classes up there as well. Due to a physical disability, I found the rush between classes from Upper to Lower Campus quite challenging, so I bought a bicycle and braved the campus police by scooting up and down the path rapidly, most of the time without mishap. The program between BYU and BY High School was a great blessing to me -- and likely many others -- because it made the difference in my decision to seek a higher level of education than I probably would have pursued otherwise. At BYHS I enrolled in two classes, Health and United States History. At the same time I took a fairly heavy load at BYU. My college credits were withheld until I was awarded my BYHS diploma, which I received on May 26, 1949. Now, more than 55 years later, I do not remember my BYHS teachers. However, my life was strongly influenced by taking a class from a BYU professor, Dr. Ariel Ballif, who was the father of one of my classmates, Jae Ballif. Inspired by Dr. Ballif, I made a decision to accept a mission call at the end of my freshman year, and continue my education later. I served my mission in England, and upon returning I married Delores, my high school sweetheart from Picture Butte. I then entered the University of Washington in Seattle as a sophomore -- thanks again to the joint education program in Provo. I graduated in 1954, and entered a career with Seattle First National Bank (now Bank of America) that continued for 35 years. My wife and I have seven living children, six of whom are graduates of BYU. At this writing, in the summer of 2005, my wife and I are living in Yakima, Washington. We enjoy relatively good health, and stay in touch with our friends and family, including 30 grandchildren. We have served two additional missions, in Singapore and Mongolia. @September2005

Hailes, Irene [Ricks,]
Provo, Utah US

Irene and Eldin Ricks

Faculty and Staff, Training School up through May 1968. Irene Hailes Ricks. BYU Elementary Kindergarten teacher. BYU 1946. She married Eldin Ricks. Their children included: Harold L. Ricks [BYH Class of 1968], Orem, Utah; Marjorie Ricks [BYH Class of 1970] (James C.) Swindler, Draper, Utah; Dennis Ricks; and Stanford Ricks. @2011 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Irene Hailes Ricks - An Amazing Woman & Born Teacher. Irene Hailes Ricks, lived among us over 101 years going strong" anxiously engaged in a good cause, and [did] many things of [her] own free will" (D&C 58:27). Instead of rusting out, she wore out. She died peacefully at her home on Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Those who knew her well, knew that she was a true "Iron woman." Her life was centered around family, friends, faith, BYU, all things Blue and White, and always-a Project. The secret to her long and productive life. She "Always looked on the bright side of life" and never slowed down. She traveled the world up until just the past few years. Since she hit the ripe old age of 60, both with Eldin and friends, she traveled to North, South and Central America, the Amazon, Asia, led tours to the Middle East and most of Europe. She exercised her mind, body, and spirit every day. She was careful about what she ate and drank. She read and learned constantly, emailed regularly, learned how to "Friend" her nieces, nephews, and grandchildren and received a notice recently from Facebook that she was the oldest living person with an active Facebook account -in the world! She got up every morning with a plan in mind and the determination to see it through to the end. A BYU season ticket holder since 1949, she never left a game 1 minute early-win or lose-no matter how lopsided the score or inclement the weather, much to her not quite so loyal son's dismay! The Cougar Club has lost one of their greatest fans. Born June 10, 1910 in Portsmouth, England, she was the oldest of 7 children born to John Charles Hailes and Nellie Warwick Hailes. Her parents, enduring much opposition, joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and immigrated to Zion, Salt Lake City, in July 1911 via steamship, 1 year before the Titanic sailed, bringing their baby, Irene, with them. Her father asked to be released from the British Royal Navy, giving up a promising career, but, unable to be far from the water, he built a home on the Jordan River on California Avenue and worked at the Magna smelter. Her first memory was walking down a long hall in a white dress when she was 15 months old to be sealed to her parents in the Salt Lake Temple. She was proud to be raised amongst the "salt of the earth" in The Cannon Ward, Pioneer Stake. From her childhood she always wanted to be a teacher. She put herself through college working for 19 cents an hour and "was glad to have the job". She received her degree in Elementary Education from the University of Utah (aka "the school to the North") in 1932. She taught elementary school for ten years at the Douglas School in Salt Lake City. She then joined the Navy WAVES in 1943 as a flight trainer in the Link Department. She enthusiastically organized LDS MIA groups wherever she went. At the end of WWII she served on the LDS servicemen's committee where she met Eldin Ricks. Describing Eldin, a friend told Irene, he is "Six foot two, eyes of blue, too religious for me, but just right for you." Eldin began teaching religion at BYU in 1946. Meanwhile, Irene enrolled at BYU to pursue not one but two degrees, a master's in education and a Mrs. She fell in love with Provo, BYU, and Eldin. She received the Mrs. degree when they married three years later in 1949. They had four children: Harold, Marjorie, Dennis, and Stanford. Over the next twenty-five years she continued teaching Kindergarten at BYU Laboratory Elementary School, Cascade Elementary, and several other schools. Irene served in many church callings and positions including on the YWMIA general board from 1946 - 1963. Because of her desire to share her love for hiking, x-country skiing, and the outdoors, she helped to organize the YW Camp program. She also served on the Church Correlation Committee from 1967 - 1971 where she assisted writing Primary lessons. Irene and Eldin served a mission in London, England at the LDS Genealogical Library in 1985 - 1986. She served for many years as a volunteer in the Family History library at BYU. Irene's retirement since 1975 was spent in compiling over 10 volumes of Ricks and Hailes family history, attending BYU sporting and social events, organizing family reunions and enjoying her ever growing family consisting of twenty-three grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren. and counting. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, October 8, 2011 at the Oak Hills 7th Ward Chapel, 1038 North 1200 East, Provo. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Friday evening from 4:30-7:00 p.m. and at the church Saturday from 1:30-2:45 p.m. prior to services. Interment, East Lawn Memorial Hills, Provo. Coincidentally, Irene's Day of Celebration will be capped off by the BYU Homecoming Football game that evening. She will there "Rise and Shout" one more time before making her way to an even more glorious Homecoming with her Heavenly Father, beloved husband, daughter, parents, brothers and sister who have preceded her Home. From all who knew her -- we love and revere you, Mom, Grandma, Teacher and Friend. Condolences may be sent to the family through www.bergmortuary.com [Provo Daily Herald, Thursday, October 6, 2011]

Abbey Celeste Hale, a niece of Edward Everett Hale (author of "A Man Without a Country" and chaplain to the U.S. Senate) was employed in the Primary Department during the mid-1890s. When Abbey Hale left the school in 1897 she wrote President Cluff that "the Academy and Utah seem too much like home to me to be given up unregretfully. I have enjoyed my work there very much and it will always be a pleasure to me to remember ther cordiality and kindness given to a stranger within your gates." She was one of the earliest non-Mormon teachers to be employed by the Academy.

Mary [and Parley] Woolsey

BYH Class of 1917. Mary Elizabeth Hale Woolsey. HER OBITUARY: Mary Hale Woolsey (March 21, 1899 – December 6, 1969) was an American songwriter and lyricist. She is most noted for the lyrics she wrote for "When It's Springtime in the Rockies". Mary Elizabeth Hale Woolsey was born on March 21, 1899 in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her parents were John Thompson Hale and Sarah Elizabeth Stewart Hale. She was one of nine children. She grew up in Provo, Utah. She was inspired by the mountains and love. Mary Elizabeth graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1917. She was a class officer in her Junior year of high school. She was married to Parley Woolsey on June 6, 1917. The couple lived in Anterio, Oregon for a time. However, they moved to Salt Lake City, Utah after the birth of their daughter Leal in 1919. They had four children. They later went through divorce and Parley remarried in 1954. Woolsey began songwriting at a young age. By 1934 she had written over 60 songs that had been put to music, and many of which had been published. "When It's Springtime in the Rockies" was her most notable work. It was first published in 1929. She was inspired by the nature of Utah Lake and Provo Canyon. She sent the lyrics to Robert Sauer a leader of a German band, and a band director at Brigham Young University. He made various arrangements of the song for bands and quartets. The song was rejected by 14 publishers, until it was finally bought by Villa-Moret Inc. from San Francisco. She did not hear from him. She did, however, hear her lyrics in a song years later. She looked up the legend of the piece and saw that the lyrics had been attributed to T. Snow. Apparently Sauer had lost her name and invented the name T. Snow when the song was printed. She confronted Sauer who agreed to put her name on the next printings of the song. The two made a contract together. The song gained popularity in the Provo area and at Brigham Young University. Earl J. Glade, manager of the KSL radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah, named "When It's Springtime in the Rockies" the national song of Utah and the West. A popular radio duo of the time, Bob and Monte, was requested to sing the song and later record it. After the recording was sent to publishers thirteen times, it was finally released. Later Milt Taggart, who was the head of a music store in Salt Lake, had the copy of the song. He made a contract with Woolsey and Sauer that he would split the profits with them if there were any. They sold the song to Charlie Daniels. Milt Taggart was named the co-author. The song was heard worldwide and became a bestseller in England. The song title was used as the title for the 1937 film Springtime in the Rockies, in which the song was also used. It was later used as the name of the 1942 film Springtime in the Rockies. The Fox Entertainment Group who produced the film paid $1,000 to avoid copyright issues since they, too, used the song "When It's Springtime in the Rockies". During the depression, Woolsey continued to write songs. Woolsey wrote the libretto for an operetta for children. The operetta was called The Giant's Garden and featured music by Seldon N. Heaps. Woolsey also wrote the words to several other songs, including "When the Cottonwoods are Yellow" and "By the Silv'ry Colorado". She also compiled a book of 15 waltz songs that was called Songs that Reach the Heart. She later wrote "Colorado Skies" which Taggart contributed to. They formed the Taggart-Woolsey-Brown Publishing Company in Salt Lake City. Woolsey worked with Glen Spencer, a radio and recording director. Spencer began an all-girl musical group for a radio show, and Woolsey wrote the opening lines. Ten of her song lyrics were used by Spencer. Four of her lyrics were used by the composer Will Livernas. For her musical contributions she became a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Among her other published works are the text to "I Have a Garden, A Lovely Garden" and "When O'er the Valley the Shadows are Gray". As well as song lyrics, Woolsey wrote fiction books. She also sold stories to magazines, and for some time worked with a newspaper in Hollywood. Woolsey died on December 6, 1969 in Santa Monica, California. She was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Source.
