Source: 1946 BYH Graduation Exercises Program. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Emily Alice Hamill Sanderson, 87, of Pleasant Grove, Utah, finished her mortality Wednesday, April 15, 2015. She was born January 9, 1928, in Payson, Utah, the daughter of Patrick Francis "Frank" Hamill and Florence Marie Collins Hamill. Her childhood home was in Marysvale, Utah where she started a lifelong friendship with Nan Stapp. She and her brother, Edward Thomas, were orphaned in her early teen years and they were placed in foster homes. In her late teens she met her "adoptive family" the Evan Hansen Family. They were much more than a foster family providing her the love and support of a nuclear family. Emily graduated from BY High in Provo, Utah, in the Class of 1946. She attended BYU for a short time. It was in that period, she met and married Norman S. "Jiggs" Sanderson. They were sealed September 17, 1948, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They made their home and started their family in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Emily had many talents that she used to uplift and enrich the lives of others. Her Irish gift of wit and rhyme delighted so many with toasts and roasts at various events and celebrations. She gave hours and hours of service with a host of others decorating parade floats, making posters and signs, and creating roadshow scenery. Family has been everything to Jiggs and Emily. All their time and resources have been devoted to the development and support of their children. Vacation time was used to travel to athletic events and volunteer to help with officiating, coaching, timing, and cheering at the competitions and performances. Her fanship has extended across the ages - first children, then grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her cheering voice has penetrated the masses and was recognized by all those she came to support. Emily has been an example of the believers of Christ. She has always been willing to serve in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whatever the need has been. Emily and Jiggs served as missionaries in the West Indies. She leaves behind her husband Jiggs and their loving posterity: seven children, Thomas (Kim), Edward (Denise), Mark (Erin), Stephen (Debbie), Carol (Steven) Willes, Sharlene (Craig) Hreinson, and Kelly (Jelynn); 51 grandchildren; 66 great grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Edward, her infant daughter Robynn, her daughter-in-law Marsha Sanderson, and her infant granddaughter Edie Sanderson. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, April 22, 2015, at 11 am in the Timpanogos 6th Ward Chapel, 332 East 500 North, Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Hammond, Principal, BYU Elementary School. ~ ~ ~ ~ "For over 30 years I was an elementary school principal in the Alpine School District. Any success that I might have had over that 30-year span I credit to BYU Professor of Education May Hammond. She was an inspiration to many elementary education majors who went on to be successful teachers. She served as principal of the BYU Elementary School, where many students received their student teaching experience. She dedicated her life to helping children gain an appreciation for children’s literature. I think she knew every book that had been published for children. After serving in the elementary school she started teaching curriculum development and children’s literature to elementary education majors. She was so lovely, sweet, patient, kind and understanding. If I could ask one person to read to my children and grandchildren at bedtime, she would be the one. She made stories come alive. She was indeed an advocate for children." ~~Douglas Nicholes, BYU ’54, American Fork, Utah

David and Emma Hanks

BYA Class of 1888? ~ Honorary. David Capener Hanks. ~ ~ ~ ~ David C. Hanks was born to Ephraim Knowlton and Jane Maria Capener Hanks, early pioneers, in Park City, Utah, on March 5, 1870. He lived here and in Salt Lake City, Utah during his early life. There being no schools in Park City, his mother was most anxious that she take her children where they could enjoy these advantages, so when David was about 12 years of age, she took her family to Heber City, Utah and there they had that privilege as well as other advantages. They continued to live here until they were grown. There were seven children in this family as follows: William C., Alice Maria, Sarah Elizabeth, Ephraim Knowlton, George Agustus, David Capener, and Louise Rebecca. David never had the privilege of knowing his father very well as he lived with his wife Thisbe, in Southern Utah, but the occasions that he did see him, these stood out in his memory. His mother separated from his father while he was quite young so it was up to him and his brothers to help provide for the family. Some time later his mother married Joseph E. Taylor of Salt Lake City, she going into polygamy again. To this union, two daughters were born. This marriage was not successful, so they finally separated. Throughout all of the years, although separated from Ephraim, Jane’s love for him never died. David grew up in this vicinity, where he received his education and he also went to the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, Utah. On December 6, 1893 when he was near 24 years old, he was married to Mary Elizabeth Baum. To this union five children were born. They were Harvard David, George Agustus, who passed away at the age of 22, Ephraim Earl, Ida Mae, and Theodore Verender. After his marriage he went into several business ventures, such as the Heber Mercantile Co., Consolidated Wagon & Machine Co., etc. He was a good provider and they owned a nice brick home. When the family began to grow up, David felt that they should move some place where there would be more opportunities for them so he and his brother Ephraim moved their families to Shelley, Idaho, where they bought some farms. Eph and his family continued to live here but David was not quite satisfied with the set-up he had so after two years he with his family moved to the Teton Basin in Idaho. Here he bought some land near a small place called Haden and later he bought a farm in Chapin, a few miles south of Driggs. During this time his wife Mary became dissatisfied with the country up here and desired to go back to their home in Heber City. Being tied up here, David was unable to leave then, so she left with the children and went back. David expanded in his farm operations here in Haden and Harvard, his son, took care of the Chapin farm. Later he his mother sold this farm and they moved to Nampa, Idaho. In the meantime, David and Mary were divorced. David went into business at Tetonia, a new town which sprung up near Haden, after the Railroad came in. In fact the business and public buildings were moved from Haden to Tetonia. He bought a Mercantile Store which was known as the Peoples Cash Store. He also had quite a business of buying and selling hay and grain. While in business he leased the farm. On October 2, 1915, David was married to Emma Hulet Cook, a young widow, who was living at Driggs at that time. She had a small son, Adrian. To this union eight children were born, as follows: Nancy Davida, Wright Capener, Lincoln Marlo, Clair Sylvanus, David Lawayne, Betty Jane, Emma Louise and John Phillip. We continued to run the store for a few years but as the family began to grow we decided to sell the store and move to the farm. We expanded our operations and went into the sheep business too. There was plenty of work for all so every one was kept busy. David was very civic minded and was interested in the growth of our town and county and especially interested in the schools and in education. He was on the school board for several years. For many years he worked for the consolidation of schools in our county, which was eventually culminated after his death. He was Superintendent of the Tetonia Ward Y.M.M.I.A. for several years and President of the Genealogical Society, which he was very much interested in. He also enjoyed singing in the choirs and he with a quartette were often called to sing at funeral services in this vicinity. He was very ambitious and provided well for his family. During the Christmas Season of 1931 he contacted pneumonia and passed away at the L.D.S. Hospital in Idaho Falls, Jan. 4, 1932, six months before the last baby was born, leaving his wife and eight children. The older boys carried on with the farm and sheep and were very successful and his children grew up to be honorable men and women, some of them going on missions and all had good educations. They married well and all have lovely families. They are an honor to his name. ~ ~ Written by his wife Emma Wright Hulet Hanks

Frances and Karl Rogers

Class of 1948. Frances Hanks. Her photograph appears with the Senior Class in the 1948 Wildcat yearbook. Frances married Karl Rogers, later divorced. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Frances Ellen Rogers, December 30, 1930 ~ December 23, 2019. Fannie (Frances) Ellen Hanks Rogers, of Missouri City, Texas, passed away at home early in the morning of December 23, 2019, at the age of 88, one week short of her 89th birthday. Frances was born at home on December 30, 1930 at 12:30 p.m. in Prescott, Arizona, to Verd Arthur Hanks and Mabel Allen Hanks. She was the oldest of three children and was named after her grandmother, Fannie Peterson Allen. During her early years, her family lived in Prescott in a small house right behind Mabel’s brother Merle Allen’s house, and very close to Mabel’s brothers Joe and Dick. Frances attended grade school just a block from her Prescott home. On her first day of school, she remembers Joan, her cousin who was about six years older, coming by to walk her to school. Frances was only four years old. She held her hand and walked up the hill. When Joan met some of her friends, she let go of Frances’ hand and Frances ran back down the hill to her home, hoping no one would notice and she wouldn’t have to go to school. Her mother walked her back up the hill, and this routine continued the first week of school, not without tears, until she adjusted. Frances didn't care for her given name, Fannie. She told her third grade teacher that her name was Frances. Though she never legally changed it, she was known as Frances for the remainder of her life. It wasn't until later that she learned her grandmother, Fannie, was also occasionally known as Frances. Verd and Mabel moved their family to Clarkdale, Arizona in 1943 where Frances grew up. Both of her parents worked for Thriftee Wholesale at their Clarkdale warehouse. Frances also later worked at the Thriftee Wholesale warehouse. She would help update the books and occasionally answer the phones. She didn’t realize at the time why her parents felt she needed a job, but she later determined it was so she was not at home alone as a teenager. Frances attended Clarkdale High School, but spent her last year of high school attending Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah. She graduated in the BYH Class of 1948. She then attended Arizona State and Brigham Young University, graduating with a degree in English and Education. While attending BYU she met Karl Rogers and they married on September 15, 1951. Karl was on a football scholarship, which according to our mom, did not allow him to be married, so they kept their marriage secret from everyone, including their families, until Thanksgiving. They were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 21, 1951. While Karl was finishing his degree at BYU, their first daughter, Robyn was born. When Robyn was just a few days old the family moved to Clarkdale. A year later their second daughter, Rita, was born in Cottonwood, Arizona, followed by the birth of their son, Randy, in Phoenix Arizona. In 1956 Karl and Frances moved to Farmington, New Mexico, where three more children were born; Rochele, Rick, and Ryan. Frances was always very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her children can hardly remember a time while growing up that she wasn’t serving as ward primary president or in the stake primary presidency. She was an unwavering example of righteousness to her family and everyone who knew her. When we heard her pray, we had no doubt she was having a personal conversation with her Heavenly Father. Once her children were in school, Frances started her school teaching career, first at Bluffview Elementary School and finishing at Mesa Verde Elementary School, both in Farmington, New Mexico. As her children, we lived in fear that our mom knew our teachers and we knew we better behave and work hard. We were also expected to use proper grammar; no slang allowed in our home, and we went to the library every week. Next to her children, books were Mom’s treasure. Some of Mom’s best friends were her fellow teachers and she has fond memories of their support and adventures together. In 1979, the marriage between Karl and Frances ended. Our Mom was heartbroken, but took comfort in her family, which was now beginning to include grandchildren. She became forever known as Grandma Mom when her oldest grandchild, Kristoffer Boyle, heard his mom call his grandma “Mom,” and from that day on he called her Grandma Mom, a name she loved and embraced. In 1997, Frances retired for good and moved back to her beloved Arizona, choosing to live in Gilbert close to her cousins Merle and Joan. She loved her retirement and the community and enjoyed traveling, book clubs, lunch groups, and even water aerobics at the clubhouse with her new friends. After 20 years and due to declining health, she moved to Texas in 2017 to the loving home of her daughter and son-in-law, Rochele and Steve Dunford. She was able to enjoy visits from family and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Frances is survived by six children; Robyn (Cary) Boyle, Rita (Steve) Andrews, Randy (Lisa) Rogers, Rochele (Steve) Dunford, Rick (Cathy) Rogers, and Ryan (Kristal) Rogers, 32 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren with one on the way. Frances is also survived by her favorite sister, Nancy (Ken) Orton, of Colorado Springs and her much loved Russell nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Verd Allen Hanks, who died as a young child.
